Files App to FTP

Trying to conenct to an FTP server from Files App (with server address and login credentials known to be correct) with no success.

Files App will not accept ftp:// as prefix to server address; no prefix and smb:// produce error (implying address or login is incorrect when all known to be OK).


I have another app which connects fine to my ftp server but I wanted to keep all my links in one place (the Files App).


Any suggestions for a fix appreciated...

Anyone have thoughts/ideas on this?

Add port number to your address instead of ftp command

Instead of

ftp://ftpserver.com

You might use

ftpserver.com:21 if your port for file transfer protocol is 21.
Any luck @JMaynard ?

No
