7 thoughts on “FTP AT commands are not working for the freeware FTP server site”
I am using GL868-Dual telit modem. I am trying to test FTP AT commands using freeware FTP server like “drivehq.com”, “filegenie.com”. I have created server on these sites. I can login/ logout of these server using FTP AT commands “AT#FTPOPEN”, “AT#FTPCLOSE”. also cmds: AT#FTPPWD, AT#FTPCWD are executing properly.
If I try to read/write FTP file using AT commands then it will give me error: +CME ERROR:606. But if I directly read/write file (i.e. without using AT commands) then it works properly.
List of FTP AT commands that gives me error:
AT#FTPPUT, AT#FTPGET, AT#FTPLIST, AT#FTPAPP, etc…
But all above mentioned FTP AT commands work properly with our own company’s properitary FTP server.
So is there any restrictions for such freeware ftp server, that one cannot read/write ftp file using AT commands?
Check passive/active FTP modes and please report firmware version.
I am working with Active FTP mode. But how can I find my firmware version?

Try AT+CGMR.
Also look in server logs to investigate what is happening.
AT+CGMR=10.00.186
I have tried using FTP in passive mode. It gets connected with "ftp.filegenie.com", "ftp.drivehq.com". I can also read/write data using AT#FTPGET, AT#FTPPUT command. But if I try to write data in append mode (i.e. AT#FTPAPP=<filename>,1), then it gives me error +CME ERROR:606.
I have also tried connecting our company’s properietary FTP server in passive mode. All above mentioned commands are working properly.
As my application is like, I have to append the data in one ftp file only. So how can I do this?
here it shows me like: "This site supports features."
So is there any settings/previlege to properietary ftp server that are not for the freeware ftp server? Or any thing else that i can test???
The FTP server can have a separate permission setting for APPEND command. Maybe you do not have the right permissions on this server, to append data.
Can you check the FTP server log, at the time, when you send the APPEND command? In this log, you shoul see a command “APPE” and this STATUS reply from the server. Check the cause of the error.
