Need help debugging an ATI / FTP problem
Actually, I need recommendations on how to successfully interact with Acronis support concerning an FTP problem.
Sorry - long background paragraph follow.
A year ago I discovered that ATI (ATI 2017 back then) could not talk to a WD MyCloud Gen 2 FTP server. People on the ATI 2017 forum confirmed that ATI would successfully talk with WD MC Gen 1 server, and I had no problem getting 3 other FTP clients to talk with the MyCloud server. I spent a couple frustrating weeks trying to work with Acronis support but eventually gave up. ATI successfully talks FTP with the WD MyBookLive devices I have so I stopped using the MyCloud. Unfortunately, Western Digital no longer sells MyBookLive (and transfers with MyCloud are much faster) so I want to try talking to Acronis support about this.
When trying to establish an TP connection with the MyCloud server ATI displays the "Connection failed" message. It looks just like a credentials problem, but a packet trace shows that the connection was actually established and the the client and server start talking. But the ATI client issues the command "MLST /" and doesn't like the server's response: "550 Can't check for file existence". (This may be a bug in the server. I don't know..) Clients that successfully communicate with the server issue "MLSD" rather than "MLST /". ATI also uses the "MLSD" command when talking with the MyBookLive server.
I have both WireShark and Windows Netsh traces that show the interaction but could not get Acronis support to look at them. Is there another trace I can take that is more acceptable to Acronis support? I don't particularly want a repeat of last year's runaround.

Thanks for your comments, Steve. A secure FTP option would be nice, but I'm willing to use old vanilla FTP on my local network for now.
I'll contact Slava. Thanks.

I sent a note to Slava and have not heard back yet, but I also notice that the indecent report I thought I opened a year ago does not exist. (Perhaps I'm remembering the unproductive incident report I opened with Western Digital.) I've opened one with Acronis support now. I'll see if this one goes anywhere.
