FTP

[KennyRjr]

Hi,

I have XAMPP installed with FTP (File Zilla Server) on my pc (server is running locally), and i cannot connect to ftp either by the loopback IP or from another computer. Please can you tell me how to fix it?

Thanks,

KennyRjr

Is ftp running?
Did you configure FileZilla?
What error messages?
Etc. etc. etc.

Need much more info to work with.

I open up internet explorer and type in 127.0.0.1:21

Do one of you have LogMeIn Remote? Or i can give you download link. If so iwill give you the info to connect to my computer, This will be alot easier.

You browser is assuming you are requesting a http web page and so it can't find one on http://127.0.0.1:21. This is the default browser protocol.

You have to tell your browser to use the ftp protocol.

Try this:
ftp://127.0.0.1
ftp://localhost

Or this if you have a username/password set.
ftp://username:password@127.0.0.1

or try different combinations of the above for example:
ftp://username:password@ftp.localhost
ftp://username:password@localhost:21

Get the idea?

username and password are those you specified in your FileZilla configuration.
If you did not set them yet then use the defaults found in the xampp\readme_en.txt file.
