Can't copy file from bash FTP

[Gwynevere]

Hello,

I run the container using :
docker run -d --name ftpd_server -p 21:21 -p 30000-30009:30000-30009 -e "ADDED_FLAGS=--tls 0" -e "PUBLICHOST=localhost" -e "FTP_MAX_CLIENTS=50" -e FTP_USER_NAME=bob -e FTP_USER_PASS=12345 -e FTP_USER_HOME=/home/bob stilliard/pure-ftpd

but when I run my script to copy file :

HOST=192.168.1.2
USERNAME=bob
PASSWORD=12345

ftp -inv $HOST  <<EOF
user $USERNAME $PASSWORD
mput "$TMP_FILE_TO_COPY"
bye
EOF

I get the following error :

Hey @Gwynevere

Ah yep this is something I run into sometimes too, I think you need to change your docker run command where you have PUBLICHOST=localhost to PUBLICHOST=192.168.1.2

Let me know if this still doesn't work though, hope it helps.

I did but it doesn't work

docker run -d --name ftpd_server -p 21:21 -p 30000-30009:30000-30009 -e "ADDED_FLAGS=--tls 0" -e "PUBLICHOST=192.168.1.2" -e "FTP_MAX_CLIENTS=50" -e FTP_USER_NAME=bob -e FTP_USER_PASS=12345 -e FTP_USER_HOME=/home/bob stilliard/pure-ftpd

Ah ok, maybe try using passive mode with the ftp command with the -p flag?
Changing from ftp -inv to ftp -invp should handle that, worth a try.

I work with GIt-Bash though, I have the following error, its an unrecognized parameter

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.

FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a] [-A] [-x:sendbuffer] [-r:recvbuffer] [-b:asyncbuffers] [-w:windowsize] [host]

  -v              Suppresses display of remote server responses.
  -n              Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
  -i              Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
                  transfers.
  -d              Enables debugging.
  -g              Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
  -s:filename     Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
                  commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
  -a              Use any local interface when binding data connection.
  -A              login as anonymous.
  -x:send sockbuf Overrides the default SO_SNDBUF size of 8192.
  -r:recv sockbuf Overrides the default SO_RCVBUF size of 8192.
  -b:async count  Overrides the default async count of 3
  -w:windowsize   Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 65535.
  host            Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
                  host to connect to.

Notes:
  - mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
  - Use Control-C to abort commands.

Interesting, on linux bash there's a -p flag but yeah looks like the git-bash on windows doesn't have this flag, maybe it doesn't support it but I think an alternative way to enter passive mode is inside your ftp call, under the user $USERNAME $PASSWORD line but before the mput "$TMP_FILE_TO_COPY" line you could try adding this line: passive .

[Gwynevere]

its quote pasv for ftp.exe in Windows 10, but it doesn't work neither, I'm gonna try to copy with SCP-Script since WinSCP creates files on FTP server just fine.

Thank you @stilliard

Ah ok, I didn't realise about the windows 10 / git-bash differences for this, I'll have to have more of a look into that some time but glad you have an alternative solution at least.

No problem, let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
