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.

    • The list of Mac devices rumored to get macOS 26

      The list of Mac devices rumored to get macOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple will announce macOS 26 or macOS Tahoe at its Monday Worldwide Developers Conference. As has been reported multiple times over the past weeks, all Apple operating systems will receive a UI overhaul, a touch of AI, and new names at this year's WWDC. The logic behind the "26" in the new macOS version is that Apple aims to align its naming schedule with its 2025-2026 release cycle. The same version number will also appear across iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. While skipping multiple software versions raises many questions, it might help maintain consistency in the Apple ecosystem. With just two days away from the WWDC kick-off, many Mac owners might wonder if the upcoming macOS 26 is compatible with their devices. Here's the rumored list of compatible Mac devices with the macOS 26: MacBook Air (M1 and later) MacBook Pro (2019 and later) iMac (2020 and later) Mac Mini (M1 and later) Mac Studio (all models) Mac Pro (2019 and later) This report comes from MacRumors, which cites a private account on X as the source. However, the interesting thing about this list is that, according to the leaker, Apple might end software support for the MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020 model, two Thunderbolt 3 ports). For now, we should take this claim with a pinch of salt. The 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch launched with both Intel and Apple Silicon M1 processors. It also comes with two port configurations. Apple is expected to end support for more Intel-based Mac devices this year, and this specific MacBook Pro variant might also be on Apple's kill list. WWDC 2025 kicks off on June 9, and Apple will unveil the latest version of its operating systems with an overhauled UI and a slew of AI-related features. So far, we know what Apple Watch models might get watchOS 26. Apple will announce the compatibility list of various devices at Monday's event.

      Currently I am using Display Port connection to monitor.   If I change the setting you show above it does make text larger, but ALL text larger not just icon text on desktop. Also is doesn't change the text weight at all. That setting leaves it very thing test. I want bold, or semibold.
