LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!I'm a novice when it comes to this FTP stuff so i'm hoping for some help with instructions in laymen terms.
It's so bad that i'm stuck right from the start. - Select your FTP server: Who or what is this? What info do i enter into this field? In the FTP server settings window, I see "Hostname". What or who is this, and how do I retreive this information. I've been googling for about a week now since i downloaded the app and I'm yet to see one single article/thread that explains this. They all just assume that you already know. User/Pass is obvious, but what about "Remote dir:" What's that all about as well? Do i just leave it as /yourfolder? Thank you very much in advanced for any help. I really want to eliminat the need to keep running downstairs for a USB connection in order to switch up the files on my SD card. More questions to come i'm sure. Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!LOL, I should have know that this would happen. I put "set up FTP" in that search window so many times and got search.php?fid[]=5 Barr my thread of course. OH well, Thank you very much support team. Hopefully i can make heads or tails out of these instructions. Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!How do I find out what the "URL of your FTP server" is?
Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!Well, you need a FTP server where to connect. Then you will know the URL. Do you have any FTP server?
Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!I'm going to be using The Filezilla server. Not sure if that helps. I'm currently searching info on how to set that up as well. lol Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!O.K, so as I stated above, i am using Filezilla as the Server. I followed the step by step instructions on how to set up the server from here....
Code: Select all
So I entered ftp://127.0.0.1 into the Hostname field of the AndFTP server settings. I also tried ftp://localhost. Both attemps triggered the following displayed message in AndFTP... "a.a.a.a.b: Could not parse response code. Server reply: Host/Domain name is invalid" What have I done wrong here? Thank you. Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!Any ideas anyone?
Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!Bump. If I can't get help from the official site, them i'm not sure where else to go.
Re: LOL, I just want to know how to set this thing up!!!No, you need external IP address. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, it cannot work on your device.
You're under windows? Try to run the following command: ipconfig Then you should see your external IP address. Try a regular FTP client such as FileZilla with this IP address. If it works then it should work from your device. |
