What is CCTV Loop Uploading?
Loop uploading allows your camera to continuously upload videos to your FileLu account. When the allocated storage is full, older files are automatically replaced with newer files, so manual deletion is not required.
What is a Camera FTP Server?
An FTP server for cameras allows your camera to upload videos and snapshots securely over the network. Even if the camera is removed, damaged, or stolen, your footage remains safely stored in your FileLu account.
FTP / FTPS Troubleshooting
- Make sure your FileLu username and password are correct.
- For standard FTP, use port 21.
- For secure implicit FTPS, enable TLS and use port 990.
- Configure your FTP client to use Passive (PASV) mode.
- If the issue persists, contact support with a screenshot of your FTP client settings and the complete error message.
When connecting to FileLu through FTPS in Rclone, select Implicit TLS, use port 990, and enable Disable TLS 1.3 in Rclone's advanced configuration.
Your Rclone remote configuration should include:
type = ftp
host = ftp-us.filelu.com
port = 990
tls = true
disable_tls13 = trueYou can also disable TLS 1.3 for an individual command:
rclone copy local-file.bin ftp:/destination/ --progress --ftp-disable-tls13If TLS 1.3 is not disabled, some Rclone versions may experience an FTPS data connection reset, an incomplete upload, or a file size mismatch.
