file storage on remote FTP Server / useage of the mask editor

[HWL]

Hi all,

I have installed MotionEyeOS succesfully on a RasPi2. Everything is working fine. Just 2 questions:

- I assume when setting up the mask and edit by hand, all the black squares are ignored? (and the 'grey' ones are being watched)

- I seem not to be able to setup the upload location for the filestorage: I  have a local NAS with ftp server installed. When trying to reach it via a ftp client, it works fine 'ftp://<IP>' then enter username / password works. However: I am not succesfull while using MotionEyeOS. My settings:

advanced settings are 'ON'

in the tab  File Storage:

Upload media files / pictures / movies are all enabled (ON)

upload service is 'FTP Server'  selected from the dropdown menu

entered an IP address: '192.168.1.xxx'

Server Port: 21 (can't be blank! and has been tested to work)

location: '/Surveillance/'

include subfolders 'ON'

username and password are filled and have been tested.

call a web hook and run a command are 'OFF'

help is needed! How to debug or what is wrong???

Regards, HWL

Found in the meantime my answer to the mask setup. It is working as described below.

Please, some help with the FTP issue, anyone?

Does your motionEye create media files locally? Are you able to see your pictures and/or movies locally, on your motionEye disk/sd card?

[HWL]

Yes, MotionEye is recording without any issues on the SD card. I can see and download / watch the files, thumbnails are present, ..)

In that case, I recommend enabling debugging (in Expert Settings) and inspecting the motioneye.log file.

Hi Calin,

Thx for your reaction. I enabled the debugging level and triggered some motion to record a video.

In the motioneye.log logging file, following is logged.

I can assure you that the mkv does not exist.

Furthermore I tried sftp from the MotionEyeOS raspberry (ssh into RPi, then started sftp towards the NAS):

sftp -P 2222 @192.168.1.xxx
Password:
Connected to 192.168.1.xxx.
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /
sftp> ls
Foscam Home Surveillance TVRecording
sftp> cd Surveillance
sftp> ls
Voordeur Zijkant_huis logging_ftp.txt
sftp> mkdir test
sftp> ls
Voordeur Zijkant_huis logging_ftp.txt test

As you can see, I can create a directory (also a file if needed) with the same username/password (therefor: rights have been set properly).

Just a thought (didn't look at the Python files): are you trying to create the directory structure in 1 mkdir statement?

There is also an entry made in the issues list. Which one would you like to keep?

Best regards.
