How to connect two computers in Local LAN using FTP


Recommended Posts

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

Yes exactly it was the firewall.

Connected now ")

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.

    • Intel's new GPU driver adds support for FBC: Firebreak, Stellar Blade, and more by Taras Buria Intel has released a new non-WHQL driver under version 32.0.101.6876. The update brings support and optimizations for four games and a single fix for visual artifacts that appear in certain situations. Here is the list of newly-supported games in driver 32.0.101.6876 on systems with Intel Arc B-Series, A-Series, and Intel Core Ultra with built-in Arc graphics: FBC: Firebreak Rematch Stellar Blade Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X There is also a single bug fixed in today's release: Intermittent visual artifacts may appear in certain usage scenarios. Known issues remain the same as in the latest WHQL release, except for a new bug that causes audio glitches on handheld devices: Certain handheld devices may experience audio glitches and lower-than-expected performance while audio is playing. You can mitigate the problem by following a guide that Intel published on the official forum. It requires reinstalling the graphics and NPU drivers on the affected systems. A proper fix will be available in a future driver update. You can install Intel 32.0.101.6876 non-WHQL driver on PCs with 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11 with the following graphics products from Intel: Discrete GPUs Integrated GPUs Intel Arc A-Series (Alchemist) Intel Arc B-Series (Battlemage) Intel Iris Xe Discrete Graphics (DG1) Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake) Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) Intel Core 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) Intel Core 13th Gen (Raptor Lake) Intel Core 12th Gen (Alder Lake) Intel Core 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) You can download the driver from the official website here. Full release notes are available here (PDF). Keep in mind that this is a non-WHQL driver, which means it could be less stable than certified WHQL drivers.
