Hello,

Please I'd like to ask for your help for something that I do remember that I did it before but honestly no longer remember or able to redo it.

I'd like to connect two computers in my local lan using the ftp.

I've installed FileZilla server in the computer I want to transfer files from, and installed FileZilla client on the other computer I want to transfer files to or into.

The computer I want to transfer files from is 192.168.0.4 while the computer I want to transfer files into is 192.168.0.3 .

I added a group and a user and a home folder to filezilla server.

I do not know how to connect both of them using the ftp server and client while I did setup the network wizard for all computers in the local lan.

Note: I do not have a server in the lan but just all computers connected to the D-Link and talk to each others.

Thanks

Enter the IP of the one running the server into the quick connect box at the top of the client, username and pass if you set one and hit connect

This is what I exactly did but I am afraid that it does not allow me to be connected at all.

Thanks

Are you running a firewall you need to configure to allow the connection ? (Not sure if you need port forwarding or uPnP enabled on the router)

I run FTPServer on my Android tablet and Filezilla client on my PC, I just setup a username as pass, port and static IP on the tablet, then entered the same into the filezilla client and it gives me access no problems

The most amazing thing about ftp is the speed of the file transfer.

When I copy the normal way using the network group copy and paste command I can transfer with 20:25 MB/second while with FTP it is almost 50 MB/Second or more.

    • Why do people have difficulty installing Windows and not sabotaging the system?

      Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.

      Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
