    Could you send a screenshot of
    – the ThinOS Fileserver config
    – the Windows Explorer view of your ftp folder structure

    Thanks for your fast reply.

    Strangely enough, it works again today. I don´t know why.

     

    Windows Explorer view of the ftp folder structure:

    What do you mean with “ThinOS Fileserver config”? The file path to the wnos.ini?

    Best regards

    I’ve meant a screenshot of the local ThinOS GUI while editing the Fileserver settings.

    In the older 8.6 versions, the Fileserver path (provided with DHCP) is used/converted like; ftp://server/path/wnos.ini

    In the newer 8.6 versions (710 and 807) the Fileserver path shows like; https://server/path/wnos.ini which isn’t working (certificate error and protocol not correct)

    Why change something which was working like a charm for years?

     

    So be aware, newer 8.6 versions will have an issue using FTP as configuration/management repository.

     

    If someone knows how to solve this, please let me know.

    We faced the same issue.

    After the update, ftp is replaced with https.

    How to fix this?

    If you Add FTP:// to DHCP option 161, it will work again.

    So the DHCP option 161 will be like; ftp://serverIP-or-DNS

    Also create a DHCP option 167 (CA Validation) and set it to: false

    in case you don’t have trusted certificates on your internal servers.
