CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED: Access denied: 503

Hello,
I try to backup my Humax harddisk recorder but ftp returns the following error:

Cannot read file attributes of "ftp://HumaxFTP@192.168.178.253/ftp://HumaxFTP@192.168.178.253/media".
Cannot read directory "HumaxFTP@192.168.178.253".
CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED: Access denied: 503
503 Bad sequence of commands. [curl_easy_perform]

I checked the password, it is correct.
What is the problem?

Filezilla has no problem connecting to the Humax and move files from an to it.

Thanks,
Kees.

I think I found the answer already: the "media" folder is not accessable, the lower folders are.

Still the problem is not over yet.
When I start Compare, nothing is found on the Humax.
Can I generate and view the ftp trace somewhere?

> nothing is found on the Humax

Is nothing found, or is nothing showing as needing to be synced?
By default FSS will only show left vs right differences, resulting in some sort of proposed sync action.
If left and right are equal, by default the Compare results will be empty.
But by clicking the "="-icon (left and right are equal) mid below the Compare results, it will also show files that are equal. Note that there is only a "="-icon if that category is non-empty.

Also check your Include and Exclude Filter (F7). Only files/folders included via the Include Filter (by default: * = everything), and not excluded via the Exclude Filter will be part of the FFS Compare and Sync.

I am still not sure if FFS reads anything from the Humax.
In the ftp log of another applications I found the Humax does not support PASV ftp, so I had to switch this off.
Can I do so with FFS?
Can I see the ftp trace?

What version of FFS?

This (dated) post, it was a un/pw issue, https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/ftp-503-bad-sequence-of-commands.2313/.

[CPV]

12.2 64bit.
My credentials are OK, with Filezilla they work perfectly.

If I put \ as the directory "access online storage" panel and press "Browse", FFS states:
Cannot read file attributes of "ftp://HumaxFTP@192.168.178.253/media".
Cannot read directory "/".
CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY: Bad PASV/EPSV response: 502
502 Command not implemented. [curl_easy_perform]

This looks the same as the other application I used, complained about: the Humax does not support PASV.
In the other application I could switch off PASV to avoid this error, but still it has other problems.

It looks that the first thing I should do is avoid FFS to use PASV.
