So I've been trying to get access to my FileZilla server from another network and I was able to connect the normal way but it wouldn't load my files. I found an old post on this issue on stack overflow where they solved it by using SFTP. I started trying this but now I'm completely unable to connect to my FTP server. What could I possibly try now? Thanks in advance

hello, so i have an aws EC2 instance that's running a Windows Server 2019 (i had to go with windows, client wanted it), but right now im having trouble setting up the ftp server on it. i have installed the IIS, and configured it, at least i thought i did, but i can't establish a connection to it, even from within the same machine. when i write in cmd "ftp localhost", it "connects" to the server before immediately responding with "connection was closed by remote host". anyone run into a similar problem before and can offer a helping hand?

The script is to delete a ftp folder and anything in it, and remake it. The error I get it when I run the same script on my Rasperry Pi is: File "/home/Remake.py", line 6 ftp.delete(f"{path}/{name}") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax But when I run it on Google Colab it works fine, the script is this: from ftplib import FTP def remove_ftp_dir(ftp, path): for (name, properties) in ftp.mlsd(path=path): if name in ['.', '..']: continue elif properties['type'] == 'file': ftp.delete(f"{path}/{name}") elif properties['type'] == 'dir': remove_ftp_dir(ftp, f"{path}/{name}") ftp.rmd(path) ftp = FTP('s2.seedboxws.com', 'my_username', 'my_password'); remove_ftp_dir(ftp, 'torrents/Finished'); ftp.cwd('/torrents/'); ftp.mkd('Finished') The only thing I can think of is maybe the python version on my raspi is old?

So I use colab to copy files from my FTP server to my drive using this code (i've import os os.chdir("/content/drive/Shareddrives/HAHSCollage/") !wget -c -m --ftp-user="username" --ftp-password="password" "ftp://cloudstorage.com/folder/subfolder/Finished/*" But I have to manually delete all files and folders from the "Finished" folder everytime after I'm done copying. So, I just need a code that deletes anything in the "Finished" folder, so I'll run it with the same above command. Thanks.

Hi guys ! I'm a sysadmin working for an msp and we're looking for a software like FileZilla Server but that would be able to send external download link for specific files so that external client dont need to have credentials on our server to download the specified link. Like a match between Filezilla Server and Wetransfer If possible we would like to be able to make a custom websites for the download links. Thank you.

How do I make my existing SMB server to an FTP site? I don’t need this to be forwarded in any way.

Hi, I am away from home and when I last setup my FTP server it was working with everyone devices just fine so I haven't been messing with it. I got a new laptop for school and my travels and I was trying to get into that server so I could so how well it would work when I am 15 hours away from home. FileZilla works just fine with the server but windows file explorer is having issues and maybe I have just pressed a wrong button... when I connect to the server with the add network folder button it never asks for a username and password like it had with my other installs and there being, I can't access the server like that. Maybe there is something I am doing wrong or if there is an issue with my system

I have made my HDD a FTP server with the help of Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager App which comes default with windows. When I turn on my pc, the server starts up, and I can access my files through wifi (router). I just have simply set it up so anonymous users can join. So people with my wifi access can join. I only use it for copying and deleting data from my phone. I do not have a Laptop. I have noticed I can change the port but I can't change the ip to anyother than the one windows keeps as default which was 192.168.0.108. \/ Now the thing is, I've noticed for the past few days, I can't randomly connect to the ftp. So, I check the binding dropdown and sure enough it has changed to 192.168.0.105 at the last. It was also 106 a few days ago. After, making it 105 (the new default), I can connect to the site albeit by changing the ip. /\ Why is it changing randomly? It's not related to restarts either. Somedays I restart and still can access the old ip. And it just changes randomly, it's such a nuisence to change it for every single ftp I have. I don't think it's a router issue, because I can temporarly fix it without going to router settings. How can I fix this changing issue? Do you have any other local FTP recommendations which are better than this setup? Because this doesn't seem like the best setup.

I asked this question before on stackoverflow but i got 0 replies and also a downvote. I hope someone could help me. First of all sorry for my bad English because i am from Germany. For generall infromations: node version 12.14.0 npm version 6.13.4 electron version 8.2.5 angular version 9.1.4 I have generated a Electron Angular App from this template and i added a button so that when i click the button the script trys to send files to ftp via a npm ftp package. The problem is none of the packages does work correct like it should. Packages i tried: ftp ftp-client basic-ftp The Problem i had with ftp: when i use this package i must click the button at least twice so that it connects and uploads the file. It should upload the file imidiatly but it doesnt. I tested a few things and found out that its becuase it times out after 10 seconds. But thats not the problem. The problem is that it never ever connects on the first attempt. I've tested it at least 30 times and it always times out at the first attempt. The Problem i had with basic-ftp: The problem here was that it connects directly at the first attempt but it takes like 10 seconds to connect to the ftp and then uploads the file in another 10 seconds or takes even longer. Also it just sometimes works on the first attempt. Sometimes i must click the button 5-10 times so it uploads the file. It logs a lot to the console if you follow the example code. But the log doesnt seem to have any errors or something it just doesnt go like it takes a nap and then wakes up again. The Problem i had with ftp-client: Here the problem is realy not complicated: it just doesnt work. Sometimes it gives me an "Error: Control connection timed out." after i hit the button 5 to 8 times and sometimes it just doesnt work. In every case i used the example code from every repository but just for reference here are the codes i used for the diffrent npm packages: ftp: var Client = require('ftp'); var fs = require('fs'); var c = new Client(); c.on('ready', function() { c.put('C:/test/test.txt', 'test.txt', function(err) { if (err) throw err; c.end(); }); }); // connect to localhost:21 as anonymous c.connect({host: "local.host.com", username: "username", password: "**********"}); ftp-client: const config = { host: 'local.host.com', port: 21, user: 'username', password: '*******' } var ftpClient = require('ftp-client'); var client = new ftpClient(config, {}); client.connect(function() { client.upload(["C:/test/test.txt"], './', { baseDir: 'test', overwrite: 'all' }, function(result) { console.log(result); }) }) basic-ftp: const ftp = require("basic-ftp") async function example() { const client = new ftp.Client() client.ftp.verbose = true try { await client.access({ host: "local.host.com", user: "username", password: "***********", secure: true }) console.log(await client.list()) await client.uploadFrom("C:/test/test.txt", "test.txt") } catch(err) { console.log(err) } client.close() } I realy hope anyone can help me. I realy dont know where the mistake is. I also didnt upload a realy big file it was just an .txt with "Hello World" in it. As you might have guessed the test.txt is located in "C:/test/test.txt" and also the domain "local.host.com" is just a placeholder.

Every file manager I tested changed so far overwrites the date and time of the files with the current date and time when moving. Many files have no date and time information in the file name. Yes, one can also create file lists using ls or stat in an Android terminal. But I would also like to keep the original attribute date and times to make data management less inconvenient and be able to sort by time on the desktop file manager accessing the SMB or FTP server. How can I copy files to an SMB or FTP server while keeping the original date and time information? MTP is bogus garbage that sometimes happens to display all files and sometimes not. MTP supports no parallelism. MTP needs minute to load the list of files in a directory with 1000 files, and needs minutes to “pRePaRE” copying the files. USB-OTG inconveniently reserves the USB port while hanging down, drains the non-replaceable battery faster and also has the same problem: no file manager I know preserves the original date and time information, especially Google's shitty precluded file manager (ES File Explorer was even better in 2012) that they force users to access OTG with since Nougat. How can I copy files to SMB or FTP while keeping the original date/time attributes?

Hello, Recently my router malfunctioned and I couldn't buy a new one because of the lockdown. So the Stp cable of my modem now plugs in directly to my laptop. In the mean time I created a FTP server on Windows but I can't access that through the network without forwarding/opening the port 21. I was looking for some ways to do that in windows as because I do not have any software level access to my modem. But I couldn't find a definite page for that. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.

TL;DR Trying to setup FTP server but can't because i'm a noob I have been trying to share some files with some friends. It's kind of a hassle to upload these files to my google Drive. And the amount of data is around 100 GB, so that isn't working. I found that making folder on my Windows PC "Shared" lets me access them very conveniently. Sadly, this doesn't work for my current problem, since I'll be sharing with people that aren't on my LAN. So I've gone as far as using the open source HFS. Again, this works on my LAN, but putting in 192.168.0.5 will definitely not give my friends access to my PC. So how might I go about this? I'm just looking for a direct way my friends might download stuff from my PC. Maybe there's a way they can use my IP address (which accesses my router, i guess?) and then it can redirect my router can redirect it to my PC? Any suggestions would be welcome

Hello, I need some help. I've been trying to setup a ftp site on a old laptop as a remote access point for myself and another friend of mine for animation work. I have everything setup, ports are forwarded, permissions are setup, its allowed access through firewall, ive followed the steps, but none of my computers can see the site, web browers and file explorer doesn't see it, computers outside the network dont see it, nothing, its like it doesn't exist. it does say that it cant verify any paths to any file, external or internal as well. anyone have any idea why????

My isp provides a free ftp server for easy access of movies, tv shows and games. I can access it easily with the ip addres(no login or Password is provide). But i can easily stream with it by copy the link adress and pesting it to a media player. But when i click the link it starts to download. How can i easily stream without switching between browser and media player on pc? I also use my android tablet mostly. Is there any browser with media player or a media player with browser. I use chrome and mx player. Thanks

I have a computer next to me that I configured to be a FTP server through IIS. If I try to connect to the server through that computer (ftp://localhost), it works fine. But if I try to connect to the server from another computer, it acts like the server doesn't exist. I already enabled port forwarding and enabled FTP in Window Firewall and all that stuff. I'm a noob with networking and am quite confused right now. Please help.

Hello LTT Community, I have just made a FileZilla FTP Server and it is working fine. Now I wanted to upload some website html but each time I enter the url in my browser it just tries to download it instead of opening the page. Is there any way i can get around this and just access it as website? Thanks in advance, ~Sven

I keep using ftp and windows SMB share for file transfer and using CX File explorer to get files from to devices from pc and NAS . but instead of using the phone can I just put the file in my phone without picking it up and push file like any other ftp server samba share from my PC

Hey guys, I need some assistance... I have a router (Strong AC1200) with a usb port and I want to setup a ftp server (external hdd) to use over internet, not only intranet. I'm struggling to do so... I only got it to work in my LAN so it's purely down to settings... Please, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hola! I am currently attempting to find a solution for my server needs. I want to be able to host my website locally, host a minecraft server locally, and an ftp server locally. I don't expect traffic to become overwhelming, but I want something more powerful than the core 2 duo I currently have. I am considering two options. Buiyng an older server off of ebay. Building a server from scratch with older parts. I do plan on making it into a rack, I just wanted to see suggestions before I made my mind. (Anything concerning internet speed is already taken care of.)

I'm looking for a security camera that uses wifi and has a ftp connection so I can record to my server and not have to deal with a cloud. A vary important thing is that it's cord for power be no bigger then a coaxial TV cable, I rent and Can't drill big holes everywhere.

Ok not sure if this is the right place for this so I'll move it to a different section if need be, But the problem, I at times need to retrieve a large file(s) from my home system on the go.. I use Google Drive atm but it's a lot of wasted time uploading then re-downloading I was hoping for a more streamline option... Like a non-cloud storage client that I can log into and directly copy files back and forth over then internet. I have seen "hard way" setups (home ftp etc) before but since my ISP doesn't have static IP's they are a pain to keep up even if I need to use my splashtop connection to start the transfer or move a file to a specific directory on the "server" side it will still save a lot time overall.. I don't mind a small fee like how Splashtop is about 25-30 USD a year for up to 5 systems, but much more then that isn't worth it for my use case.

Hey ya'll, At work I have to set up a small LAN for a small exercise, so no internet. We are using old government Windows laptop that work fine, but their image is more restrictive than a regular consumer laptop. I am an administrator so I am able to change anything. I just need to know where to look. So I set up an FTP for people to drop off and edit documents, but I am unable to authenticate. I made a rule that any user can access the FTP, but I haven't had any luck. Seeing if it was user error, I followed the same steps I found online on my computer and was able to get the FTP up. I suspect that there is a group policy that is preventing me from authenticating from the local user accounts bank, but I don't know where to look. I am open to what anyone thinks on here. Thanks.

Hi. I have a small FileZilla FTP running for familymembers to backup offsite (they have one too for my stuff) just in case. We've had them running for 8 years or so without any issues. We barely use them. Today a lot of attempted traffic caught my eye, and it looks like it's being attacked. I don't think anything got through, but I'm not sure what I should do. Any recommendations? I wouldn't want to limit access to only a few select addresses since we sometimes get new IPs and even use our phones if we need something randomly. Thank you for your input. https://pastebin.com/xmc2R3G2 *Replaced the host name IP with "serverIP:port" to avoid people 'checking it out'.

Info about the IP camera: It's a CCTV camera, model TP-MS200IPL https://es.aliexpress.com/item/HD-1080-P-c-mara-IP-2-0MP-4-piezas-l-mparas-IR-P2P-POE-c/32870123277.html What I want to get: The IP camera can record live via FTP on a PC. This PC has the ftp server and a ftp client for testing the connection. I'm using Filezilla for both server and test client. Explanation of my current configuration: I have this camera in my current network, and there are no problems about connectivity. The ftp configuration of the IP camera is correct, as I'll show here: There is a button called "text", which sends a test file so you can check if the connection is ok. Here is what I get, so the connection is working: The red square in the screenshot shows the root directory of the admin user in the ftp (this user has full control on this root folder). When you click on test, the camera creates a folder whose name is the IP of the camera. Inside, it creates the sample file. Ok, so for now I have shown you the networking configuration, this part of the project is working properly. The next part is the configuration of the motion detect recording, and here is my configuration: As you can see is enabled, along with the trigger recording option, and its "Upload to FTP" checkbox. With all of this, the camera should start recording and sending via ftp to the PC when motion is detected. The problem is that this is not sending the video. But, what is funny is that the "Trigger snapshot" option, that basically starts taking shots when motion is detected, works properly and sends the data via ftp to the PC. What I can't understand is, what is the problem here? What is the difference between sending photos and sending live video? Thanks in advance if somebody can help

So i have an old computer that was just lying around, doing nothing and i got bored and wanted to try and make a FTP server with it. I put Xubuntu, because normal ubuntu is too laggy and it just breaks it. I have got it set up so it works with file explorer in windows, but i want it to display the amount of storage it has, and has left, you know, like it does when you plug a USB stick in, or with your internal HDD/SSD, as shown in the picture that is hopefully going to attach if i can remember. As you can see in the image, the server does not show the blue bar thing and or the storage. Issue #2: When i try and view say, a video or picture off the server, it re-downloads it onto the device, is there anyway i can get it to just stream to the device?
