Retropie not accepting FTP connections

[bswart]

I’m using a Raspberry PI 2 Model B.

Downloaded the v3 SD image from here.

Suddenly I can no longer FTP to my retropie using the pi/raspberry username & password. I haven’t changed any settings that I know of.

If I FTP to the Pi – it errors saying connection not accepted.

If I browse to it from Windows using \\retropie it doesn’t accept the username & password

On the Pi itself – if I go into the software config and select Change User Password it just errors rather than allowing you to enter a new pw

Any ideas? It’s almost like the permissions have been changed

Port 21 (FTP) doesn’t answer, did it ever?

SCP should work with this client:

https://winscp.net/eng/index.php if you are on Windows.

https://cyberduck.io/ for our Mac OS X friends.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys, I’ve tried using WinSCP – it’s what I used to get my ROMS across. Double checked it’s port 21.

It was accepting connections previously but now it suddenly won’t. Almost like a setting or permission has changed

double check the documentation again and notice its port 22.

If you’ve somehow borked up your ssh you can try re-enabling it again with sudo raspi-config (also make sure you’re not having any network issues/ make sure your wifi dongle if you have one is still working)
