Backup of user SD card files
-
Well I installed NotePad++ and the FTP plugin.
I created a profile according to the online documentation.
It connected OK.
It listed the folders and contents OK
It changed folders OK
It tried to download and ALWAYS failed.I tried every setting I could think of and nothing worked.
This is not the first time I have encountered an implementation of FTP that didn't work.
As you have observed FileZilla works. My editor, EditPad Pro, works. UltraEdit is flaky as can be and I rarely can open a file on the Duet. DirectoryOpus works but it is not an editor but an amazing replacement for Windows FileExplorer.
So when some programs work and some don't, I suspect the problem is the program, not the implementation of FTP on the Duet.
Perhaps there is a NotePad++ forum you can ask for help?
I will keep trying.

That problem with zero byte files was something I was able to get the Duet developer(s) to find and fix.
So you suspect the problems with NppFTP are in it's code?

NppFTP
Is it making too many requests at once?
I have no idea. Today was the first time I ever tried NotePad++.

This is what makes me think it's the number of concurrent requests since that will make FileZilla fail in the same way if it's not limited to 1 I seem to recall.

Could be. I remember that issue coming up when I first tried to use FTP.

@appjaws Is this solved for you now? If you're running in SBC mode rather than standalone, also take a look at this thread: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/34220/sbc-plugin-to-backup-duet3d-files

No, I wanted to write a script that would run on a schedule to automatically backup the SD card to my windows computer.
At the moment I am mounting the Duet in the windows file system and manually copying all content to a backup location on my PC.appjaws - Core XYUV Duet Ethernet Duex5

To do that you'd need to setup a command line for RFM and run that on a schedule with windows task scheduler.

Hi - I'm curious as to your use-case. Is your need to have the backups on your windows computer for occasional use? e.g. restore / write to an SD card. Or do you have some other use-case.Part of the reason I ask is that I am the author of the duetBackup plugin and curious if I need / should add additional functionality.
