Netburner FTP/FAT example

Hi guys,

I am just getting re-acquainted with Netburner after a months-long hiatus and as such I am experimenting with the FTP/FAT example that came with my NBEclipse for SB700EX. I managed to assign the Netburner a proper IP for my network and I can connect to it via a browser, but when I try to use a command-line ftp tool to connect I get the following:

$ ftp <netburner_device_ip>
User (<netburner_device_ip>:(none)):

At that prompt, it seems like no matter what command I try to type, nothing happens. I try to tell it to put a small text file, but I get no response. Is this example server not set up to parse and handle ftp text commands? This wouldn't seem to make sense since I can use windows explorer with "ftp://<netburner_device_ip>" in the address bar and not only see the listing of files, but I can drag and drop files onto the device and have them appear on my internet browser, so the server must be parsing commands being sent to it, right?

Can anyone shed some light onto what's going on here?

Thanks.

At that prompt shouldn't you enter your user name, then typically you'll be prompted for a password and then you can start using get and send commands. IE may be doing an anonymous log in for you.

I would think so, and I did try a couple of different user names including "none" and "anonymous". However, there is nothing that I have seen in the source that would indicate that the server expects particular username or password to be entered right after you compile the project. No matter what I enter, nothing happens, not even so much as a message being printed. It is a bit puzzling.
