Homebrew Question Why won't my FTPD work?

[TheRealMrBuushy]

That's okay, they should be different from device to device. Have you tried a differnt ftp on switch?

On the first message, I said I used either FTPD classic, FTPD pro or sys-ftpd-light (serperatly with the others uninstalles)

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with either timing out to fast or something is forwarded that shouldn;t be.

I didn't see that sorry, I'd personally recommend using mtp over sftp tbh, it doesn't need an internet connection and just works.

He could but if he uses dynamic IP's that might bork another device. Unless he uses static IP's

Routing borks nothing as there probably aren't any connection between those 2 subnets anyway. Silly design from a router (if you ask me) to deliberately use different subs for wired and wifi, but that's the way cookie crumbles.

Those internal IP ranges aren't called nonroutables just because, they aren't allowed to route on wider internet at all, and quite possibly the subs on OP's router are "separated" as well.

@TheRealMrBuushy ftp is slow regaurdless maybe try DBI? https://github.com/rashevskyv/dbi/releases just plug the switch into your pc with a cable and start DBI and go to the last option. Much faster and no internet required.

With you internal IP's only people on your network can access them either through a VPN or being on your network directly.
EDIT1: You can also use nxmtp

I'm currently using nxmtp but it can be really weird at times especially when deleting a file and also I would prefer to be able to use internet to transfer files as it does not require a wire. Also there is a program that received the controller data and shows it on pc (for streams and stuff) that I'm pretty sure uses FTP or something. Idk but it won't work and in the comments of the video tutorial on it, someone said something about sys-ftpd.

I set the timeout of FileZilla to 200 instead of 20 (both did not work) if that means anything

nxmtp is really "basic" for it's own good, I know DBI is russain but I use it quite often and it's faster than pulling the sd card or sftp. I know it requires a cable but it's just bc it's faster.

Soooooooo... Should I run the command? Or?...

If your modem/router is indeed split like he said... Mine isn't so I can't confirm..

The problem with the cable is that it's just an inconvenience, having to move stuff around and put my switch in weird positions to connect it with cable, and I also have to take it out of docked mode if it is in docked mode and it's just a big annoyance with how I have things layed out

I don't know if it is "split" or not. If I run the command would it mess anything up if it isn't "split"?

It breaks nothing and the routing attempt is gone on next bootup anyway. What it does in a nutshell:

It tells the pc, that a network 192.168.68.0 can be routed using router's ip (Have to hope there's 192.168.68.1 assigned to router though) 192.168.68.1

To each their own did you remove those forwards from the beginning?

What forwards?

 

[AlexMCS]

First things first.
1- FTP is good for small transfers. For game installs, just use Blawar's Tinfoil.

2- Check your endpoint. Test the remote socket (IPort pair) on the switch with a port scanner to see if the port is indeed open.
You can use anything you want, but a small tool that gets the job done is portqry from MS themselves:

And they also give you an GUI if you really hate CLI programs:

Is this for fixing the failed connection issue or something else?

 

[lwiz]

One thing that came into mind - your router might have a config option like "use separate subnets for..." If there's one, you could try disabling it.

Getting late in here and doing routing can be a bit of female dog at the best of times, so these are the best I could offer atm.

Failed connection issue - we try to get the subnets see each other. Also see my post on router config above.

I ran the this:
route add 192.168.68.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.1
as administrator and got this:
The route addition failed: The parameter is incorrect.

one or more of those IP's maybe aren't right??

 

[lwiz]

Sorry, should've been route add 192.168.68.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 192.168.68.1

4AM is probably not the best time to try to think ones way over routing issues

I use Tinfoil for games but wanna use FTPD for small stuff. I downloaded portqry but I have no clue how to use it or how to see if the port is open on the switch and stuff you were saying. it flew completely past me

you could just login to your modem/router and check in advanced settings?

still gives the same error. also where did 192.168.68.0 come from? since my switch is 192.168.68.115
