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.

    • Then you answered your own question as per your own words, WINE does not have feature parity in macOS vs Linux. I’m not sure what Box86 is, but Rosetta is closed source. They can’t just add support for it. Rosetta support comes from the OS itself.
    • Couldn't a custom power plan help to park the non x3d ccd's? Then that would solve this latency/performance issues people are having with the x3d chips?
    • So is Ubuntu and Fedora (with GNOME). It's a welcome move and those that need X11 can easily install as pointed out in the article it but that won't stop a loud minority from whining of course. Funny but It will actually be easier to install X11 on Ubuntu then enable Flatpak support/Flathub and use them.
    • End of an era? Kubuntu is removing default support for X11 in new installs by David Uzondu X11, the old window system whose days have long felt numbered, just saw another one of its major supporters head for the exit. Kubuntu has decided to follow its parent distro's lead, making its next release, version 25.10, a Wayland-only affair for fresh installs. It seems many Linux developers see Wayland as the future. Just recently, Linux Mint started working to improve support for the protocol in Cinnamon, tackling lingering issues with keyboard layouts and input methods. You can even see the progress in KDE's development, where an upgrade to Wayland PiP is planned for KDE Plasma 6.5. So what's the logic behind dropping a session that, for the most part, still works? According to Kubuntu's Rik Mills, the team wants to "rip off this sticking plaster" now, in an interim release, rather than ###### off a lot of people by doing it in the next Long-Term Support version, 26.04. The developers feel that maintaining code for the aging X11 system holds back progress on security and new features that Wayland can enable more easily. Plus, supporting two separate display servers is a massive undertaking. Of course, this change might have some people worried, but relax; all is not lost if you still need the old session. If you're running hardware that acts up, like some older NVIDIA cards, or who relies on an ancient application that doesn't play nicely with the XWayland compatibility layer, you can still get your familiar session back. Just enter the following command in your terminal: sudo apt install plasma-session-x11 Once that command finishes, the X11 session will appear as an option on the login screen, so you can carry on as before. As OMGUbuntu notes, not everyone in the Ubuntu family is following its lead just yet. Other official flavors like Xubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu Cinnamon are expected to keep offering an X11 session on their default installs for this cycle.
