Uploading files does not work

[alextes]

Using Ubuntu Yakkety and vsftpd 3.0.3-7 uploading files does not work. Tried with Node 8, 6 and 4. Just executing auth works fine. Making a put fails with the following error:

{ Error: 425 Failed to establish connection.

Are you able to make a test that fails with your use case?

[alextes]

Was hoping to get a way with not including one 😛. Here you go @sergi :

1. set up Ubuntu Yakkety
2. install vsftpd
3. configure ftp writing to be allowed
4. restart vsftpd
5. run the following node script

const fs = require('fs');
const JSFtp = require("jsftp");

const ftp = new JSFtp({
  host: "51.15.68.200",
  user: "ftpuser", // defaults to "anonymous"
  pass: "NYTimes", // defaults to "@anonymous"
  debugMode: true,
});

ftp.ls(".", function(err, res) {
  console.log('err is', err);
});

const person = fs.readFileSync('person.json');
ftp.put(person, 'person.json', function(hadError) {
  if (!hadError)
    console.log("File transferred successfully!");
});

person.json

{
  "name": "alex",
  "age": 24
}

It hangs after printing err is null. Let me know if I can do anything else.

You probably need to read person as a buffer I think readFileSync defaults to utf8

[alextes]

@devotox nope, the default for readFile encoding is null in which case it returns a buffer 😉 .

[simonh1000]

When I read https://github.com/sergi/jsftp#ftpputsource-remotepath-callback I have impression that you could try

ftp.put('person.json', 'person.json', function(hadError) {
  if (!hadError)
    console.log("File transferred successfully!");
});

[alextes]

@simonh1000 true. This was a long time ago. I probably tried that too but can't be sure. In any case, the docs clearly state:

It accepts a string with the local path for the file, a Buffer, or a Readable stream as a source parameter.
