    I tried to connect to R30i B with Filezilla 3.7.3 on windows 7 64bit.
    I saw that it connected to the Fanuc, but then got a some red lines that said that the folder structure could not be read.
    So I could not see anything in the robot.
    What could be wrong?
    I connected with IP adres and default port 21. I connected anonymous once, and also once with the login an password : same result.
    If it should work, in what folder should I be : MD?

    Hi,

    I found this case on the internet that is exactly the same as mine :
    Hello all,

    I need help. I am trying to connect a PC to a r30ib fanuc robot controller. I am at the point where I can ping the controller and ping the pc from the controller. I am also seeing the controller in my web browser. But when I try to connect using filezilla I get the following:
    Status: Connecting to 10.10.150.125:21...
    Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
    Response: 220 R-30iB FTP server ready. [HandlingTool V8.20P/06]
    Command: USER anonymous
    Response: 230 User logged in [NORM].
    Command: SYST
    Response: 215 UNKNOWN [HandlingTool V8.20P/06].
    Command: FEAT
    Response: 500 Command not understood.
    Status: Server does not support non-ASCII characters.
    Status: Connected
    Status: Retrieving directory listing...
    Command: PWD
    Response: 257 "md:\" is current directory.
    Error: Failed to parse returned path.
    Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing

    Someone answered :
    Your server uses a very uncommon and ancient, DOS-like path syntax. Try setting the server type to DOS in the site manager.

    Now I am not more at the robot, so I cannot try this anymore. Has anyone experience with this?

    Filezilla works for me if I make sure to set the Default remote directory to / and Server Type to Default.

    You have to set the default remote path as: \md: (4 characters, no spaces)

    Once that is set, it should be able to read it. That is what my setup is with Filezilla.

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!

    Check out my example Fanuc Ethernet/IP Explicit Messaging program here!

    In Filezilla's Site Manager setup the following:
    Host: [your robot IP] Port: 21
    Protocol: FTP - File Transfer Protool
    Encryption: Only use plain FTP (insecure)
    Logon Type: [Ask for password]
    User: (if password option is enabled, use login from Password setup, otherwise use login from setup->host comm->FTP screen)
    Password:

    Go to Tab "Advanced", setup following:
    Server Type: DOS with backslash separators
    Bypass proxy: Unchecked
    Default local directory: leave empty
    use synchronized browsing: Unchecked
    Directory comparison: Unchecked

    Go to Tab "Transfer Settings, setup following:
    Transfer mode: Default
    Limit number of simultaneous connections: Checked
    Maximum number of connections: 1

    Go to Tab Charset, setup following:
    The server uses following charset encoding for filenames: Force UTF-8

    Now it should work

    Hello everyone,

    Settings provided by Daniel is correct, it should work.
    If it still does not work then try changing these two
    server type : 'DOS with forward-slash separators, Transfer mode as 'Passive' and rest of the settings same as what Daniel has said.

    If you're connecting just the one time and don't want to save the path, type in the IP address along with a backslash at the end.

    192.168.0.1/

    In Filezilla's Site Manager, I have it working with danielsk 's settings above. However it only shows me the md directory. How do I also see the fr, mc, md, mdb, rd, ud1, and ut1 directories?

    I can see all these if I type 192.168.1.174/fr: into the Quickconnect host, and then click the double-dot directory to go up a level in the remote site. However I would like to get Site Manager configured to show that whole list by default, rather than locking me into just the md directory.

    Ah-hah! So I copied @danielsk's settings above, but have changed the server type to be able to add a default remote directory.

    Change

    Server Type: DOS with backslash separators

    And add

    Default remote directory: \fr:

    But actually after discovering the above works, I found this is even better for me. So on each connection I can choose FR, MD, whatever I want.

    Default remote directory: \
