I was trying to use the inbuilt FTP service and a USB stick to transfer a file (~1.2GB in size).

The transfer failed, and then I noticed that FileZilla had dropped the FTP connection, and upon trying to re-establish it, it refused:

Code:

Status: Connecting to 192.168.100.254:21... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity Error: Could not connect to server

I then thought I'd try the web interface - that fails too.

The router is still up and running, can ssh to it fine, but there is no web gui or ftp service features. Can you just restart the these services without a full reboot?

Thanks,
Matt

I wondered about pulling the USB so went to look at the router, the 3 x 3 grid of lights were all solid. Pulled the USB stick, and when I re-inserted it, the router then rebooted.

Restarted FTP transfer and it is currently running at about 2.MiB/s
