We can now connect to FTP on the P1 and A1 Series

Bambu Lab P Series
84

Hey guys.

I attempted to connect to my P1S using filezilla.

I used the access code and IP found on the printer’s LCD screen, with the username as bblp.

Am I using the right IP address?

Thanks

85

The ip address listed starts with 10… which I’ve recently learned means it’s a private network. Was that changed in the 01.04.02.00 update?

86

No, nothing changed. The ip address the printer gets depends on you local network and is managed by your router.
And private network does not mean, that it can’t be accessed. Private IP address means it’s used in your local network and is not reachable from outside of your network.

87

Thank you for telling me.

I am working off a home network, and have an xfinity router. I’ve google around and learned I have to log into my comcast xfinity profile to access the DHCP records, which I assume will reveal the IP address of my bambu printer.

Does that sound right? I usually just test it and tell you, but I have to wait to do this.

I don’t have got a P1P but you can find the IP adres on the printers display.

I attempted to use the IP on the LCD but it didn’t work. Mine started with 10.0.0… everyone seems to have one that starts with 192. Does that mean anything?

Tried the following filezilla remote server configurations:
• FTP, -ip address-, bbpl, -access code-,
• FTP, -ip address-, port 990, bbpl, -access code-,
• SFTP, -ip address-, bbpl, -access code-,
• SFTP, -ip address-, port 990, bbpl, -access code-

I’ll get a green message that says I’m connected but then I’ll be logged out due to 20 seconds of inactivity after “no welcome message has been received.”

10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x. is depending on the DHCP scope of your router.

Try WinSCP

Hey! This worked! And immediately! Thank you very much!

For anyone new reading this: I used WinSCP after attempting filezilla. I specified the port as 990.

Thank you @Avgils for walking me through!

93

So Big Thank you, Sir! This is a very useful tip. I no longer have to extract the SD card to extract my timelapse videos. Additionally, it has become easier to delete unnecessary printing records.

94

thanks for sharing. I tried this on my A1mini and I have to say it logged in fine. the only problem is that I don’t see any folder, it seems empty.I understand that the A1 is different but the process seems to partially work. I find it inconvenient to download timelapses from PC and the lack of other functions.

95

FileZilla just works as well, but you have to specify FTPS and not SFTP (note the ftps:// in the Quickconnect example in the OP, and the Encryption setting in the Site Manager example). I will clarify this in the OP for others.

FTPS is an extension of FTP, adding TLS encryption.
SFTP is an extension of SSH, adding FTP-like file transfer.

Got my P1S today :smiley:

Has anyone managed to connect using CuteFTP?

It tells me… “Socket connected. Waiting for welcom message”.

But it eventually times out, and then the AMS does a very short unload/reload of slot 1

It also temporarily breaks the connection with Bambu Studio at some point.

I can connect just fine with WinSCP, but I use CuteFTP for a bunch of other stuff, and would rather not use another app just for this one task.

Thanks.

97

FileZilla worked for me, WinSCP did not. Interestingly, FileZilla Quickconnect works best.

98

I can confirm that Filezilla works like a charm with my A1 (not Mini) and I can now easily delete files that I dont need anymore. :+1:

99

Thank you, this configuration is working!

Too bad the very low transmission speed for file transfer. Mainly it is only used for deleting and not for loading, since it does not go beyond 250 Kb. But why is it not implemented in Bambu Studio? :thinking:

101

I think that it doesnt work these days directly in Bambu Studio is because the Software for the A1 has to be released and it is not 100% ready for all features. Maybe they were not happy with the speeds and did not activate this feature. Or they really think this is only a feature for X1 Users. But sending files through the Slicer directly is also not the fastest. Maybe they release this feature some day, we will see :slight_smile:

I can confirm this worked great on my MacBook Air using FileZilla for my A1 mini.

Here are the instructions pulled together in one place:

  1. Download FileZilla, if you don’t already have it (Download FileZilla Client for macOS (Intel))
  2. Get your Printer’s IP address and password for FileZilla
  3. To do this, tap on your A1 Mini screen
  4. Tap on Setting(s)
  5. Scroll down, and tap on LAN Only Mode (just to get IP address and Access Code)
  6. Write down, or otherise note the Access Code (this is your password for FileZilla)
  7. Write down, or otherise note the IP address (it’ll be a string of numbers with decimal points, like 10.100.10.1 or 192.168.197.10)
  8. Open FileZilla
  9. In the Host enter your printer’s IP address
  10. Enter the Username as bblp (I’m not sure why, someone above may have mentioned why, but hey! It works! Same with the Port)
  11. Use 990 for the Port
  12. Click Quickconnect
  13. On the right half of your screen look for, and click on the folder called Timelapse
  14. You can download the files to view them, or delete the files from here if you don’t need them anymore.
  15. I needed software to view the video files. I used VLC. You can download it from here, if you don’t already have it: https://www.videolan.org

Bonus:
You can also access the sample models that come with the printer in this same folder structure, look for the the folder: “model”.
You can also see the last things you printed, etc. Nerdy fun stuff. :nerd_face:

Also works to connect to X1E in LAN mode to send gcode to the sd card and delete video recordings
