[SOLVED] Can't connect to an FTP server.

[theycallmesam]

I was trying to connect to my Ubuntu One account using the instructions found on this site.
http://kryogenix.org/days/2012/09/11/accessing-ubuntu-one-file-storage-via-ftp-from-any-os

I downloaded the .zip file and put it in the Downloads folder. I opened the command prompt and as superuser, I ran...

Code: Select all

python /home/samuel/Downloads/u1ftp-0.1.zip

I then tried to connect using Dolphin (Network>Add Network Folder.) But I couldn't get it to connect. Dolphin sends me an error saying...

Code: Select all

Message sent:
Login using username=*************@*******.com and password=[hidden]

Server replied:
550 Requested action not taken: internal server error
Do you want to retry?

(The stars where the email should be were added by myself for my own personal privacy.)

In the command prompt an error says...

Code: Select all

I found out my own problem. I was running python as the super user, when I should have been using it as the regular user.

Whups. I sure learned something today.

I had no idea that an Ubuntu One account could be connected to in this way - much better than through the website for downloading folders. It didn't work at first and I probably wouldn't have kept at trying to figure it out (enabling kwallet) if you hadn't posted that you solved it. Thanks.
