I'll have to try this - already been through PASV mode and all that jazz,
no luck. Hopefully scp works in 4.x, none of these boxes are at 5.x yet.

Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] Strange FTP problem
I have seen those errors for firewall rules, alternate port being used or
for one reason or another I was trying active and had to change to passive
mode.
Just fyi on mine I use scp, pre shared key, script with export, etc then
cron kicks it off every weekend. Fixing to change that to export compact
shortly.

I was previously backing up all our Mikrotik routers in RANCID but it was
difficult for some techs to work with - the files wouldn't always paste
back in correctly and randomly had capitalization errors, etc, that would
cause issues. So I decided to build an FTP system to back up the binary
configuration files instead.
I have something in the scheduler that backs up the current config to
'today.backup'. I then have a script on a remote server that FTPs in, pulls
the file and exits. It works fine.. other than the fact that ~50% of the
Mikrotiks do not work. What specifically does not work is any kind of data
transfer - I *can* connect and authenticate.

I am not firewalling the port at all, tried disabling every firewall rule
just in case to no avail. Neither box is behind a NAT of any kind (the
backup system or the Mikrotik.) There seems to be no reason why the ones
that work DO work.. and the ones that don't work DON'T.. they both have
identical configs from a firewall/FTP perspective. Google didn't lead me
anywhere helpful. Any ideas?
