You shouldn't use ACL library. You should use CameraEx with the Camera library.

FTP should only be initialized once when FirstTime is true, or better, move it to the Starter service.

Is Success true in UploadCompleted?

 

[TheArkhangel]

Yes, the Uploadcomplete are Success...

Please can you gime the CameraEx link and how to initilice only firsttime ?

tnaks Erel

[Erel]

You are sending the file as a text file. You need to set the third parameter in UploadFile to False.
