    Android FTP app

    Hi all, just wondered if anyone knew of an android app that could be used to ftp files to my Duo 2 rather than logging on to my computer and using Filezilla?

    Thanks

    then add your ip address of your box
    Username = root
    Password = left blank
    Port = 21

    Open app
    Select the ip address you've saved (folder on home screen I've got 2 as I've got 2 boxes)
    Go to the location on your box you want the file moving to
    Click the mobile symbol at top of screen
    Select the file you want to ftp (green tick)
    Click the up arrow at top of screen to send to the location you previously selected

    Ok, thanks
    I think I will search YouTube when i'm at a real computer, or just carry on using filezilla or DCC.

    If you want to alter the ccam.cfg it will need to changed using a text editor prior to ftp'ing

    It's not that I need to alter/amend cccam.cfg, I can do this on filezilla/dcc with the real computer. I can't figure out how to do this on the android using this app.

    What exactly are trying to do?

    All that I used the app for was to store config files, iPks and backup setting on my phone. So when I was sorting friend/family boxes i did not need to take a laptop about with me.

    The config files are not editable on your phone.

    Unfortunately for me I made a bad mistake and went for an iPhone. Now no longer have that function.

    If only you could by a high end small android phone that fits my Tiny hands

    I loved my nexus 5 but then the 5x got too big

    When I first read this forum it seemed like something I could use a "portable" version of filezilla or DCC. In other posts I saw people talking about android type filezilla which I downloaded onto this android I am using at the moment which didn't work.
    So this forum appears and so I thought I could use this app to transfer files etc to the box anytime instead of waiting until I am at the real computer. I guess you can tell I tend to treat tablets and mobile phones as not real things to use but only good as a toy version of the real thingI
