After installing a new image, I have gotten this error when connecting to FTP om the box. Several have had this issue, and some people says that this happen due to hacking. Telnet and Webif works great.

I have just found out that the reason is "bad" USB-stick that seems to work fine. Try another stick! :)

I found that thread... I doubt that this has something to do with open ports. The error message occures from minuttes after setup of the box to several hours, and always after a "green screen" crash. It is like a system crash "fuck-up" the system. I managed to get in contact with the filestructure via SSH protocol instead of FTP. Case "solved", but I can stil not get a connection via FTP.

I do not know
the only thing I know that I have never seen with my FTP which I use only within the network.

It is in any case in connection with external connection.
