FTP connection to Roboguide no longer working

TitusLepic · November 29, 2021 at 10:59 PM

For the last 7 years, I've been using filezilla to connect to the roboguide robot controller using 127.0.0.1 as the host, plain FTP, and anonymous for the logon type. All of a sudden after rebooting my laptop this afternoon, I'm now getting a "530 Incorrect password" error. Nothing has changed in my settings. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this?

Typing 127.0.0.1 into a browser pulls up the robot web server; restoring older save points has no effect.

When this happened to me, it was another program (not Roboguide) that created an FTP server at 127.0.0.1 with the same port that Roboguide was using. So when I tried to FTP to Roboguide I was actually connecting to a different FTP server.

I looked in my Windows Services and found the other FTP (I think it was FileZilla) service running.

You could try closing Roboguide and then try the FTP again. If you still get a prompt for password, then its from a different FTP server.

Thanks for the help. A little bit of google-fu and some guesswork later, I set the port to 9125 and it started working.

If you right click on the controller, and go to properties. All the way at the bottom of the block of text is a list of ports the robot controller is listening on. Useful for when you have multiple robots in a cell.

I was (first time) playing with FTP and Roboguide a couple of weeks back and yes.....port 9125 was required.

This is exactly what I used to find this out.

This property area is great to know when troubleshooting roboguide connectivity issues.
