I get FTP Error "530 Login Authentication failed" when I try to upgrade my WiFly module

The IP address of the FTP server hosting the WiFly firmware has changed. As a result, you will see the "530 Login authentication failed" error message if you use the default IP address of the FTP server.

In order to upgrade your WiFly module, please redirect the module to the new IP address of the FTP server using the following command before you attempt the ftp upgrade process.

set ftp address 0

set dns name rn.microchip.com

save

This will redirect the module to the new FTP server. You can then upgrade the module via the command below

ftp update

With the above commands, you should be able to upgrade your WiFly module to the latest firmware.

Please note that you MUST reset the module to the factory default state after you have booted into the latest firmware via the following commands:

factory RESET

reboot

Now you can configure the module with your custom configuration.
