Hello Mirco, The values in your config.pl script appear to be correct. The "Invalid argument" error is a protocol-level error. I'll need some more information to figure out what's going on. What ftp server are you running? Have you made any changes to your server configuration lately? Can you confirm that you can access the server with a different FTP client? What do the log files for your FTP server look like?
