I am able to log in fine with the credentials using another FTP client but this just won't work. Why?

- What firmware are you running? (please give the actual firmware version).
- What is the other FTP client you are using?

- Is the FTP server behind a NAT?
You should probably download the full log zip file, and see if there are errors in there. Kernel.log, system.log, dmesg.log are generally good places to be looking.
