![]() Within this tool you need to go to the “ 5 Interfacing Options” option. This command will launch the raspi-config tool that we can use to enable SFTP on your Raspberry Pi. Within the terminal you will need to enter the following command. You can find this in the task bar at the top of the screen by default.Īlternatively you can press CTRL + ALT + T to open the terminal.Ģ. On the Raspberry Pi open up the terminal. If you have already got SSH enabled, then you can skip ahead to the “ How to Connect” section further down in this tutorial.ġ. Setting up your Raspberry Pi to be able to use SFTP is a very straightforward process and requires no additional software to be installed.Īll we need to do is make sure that SSH is enabled by using the Raspi-config tool.

If you don’t have it installed then check out my guide on installing NOOBS Raspberry Pi. In this FTP server tutorial we are using Raspberry Pi OS. You will need the following equipment to complete this tutorial on setting up an FTP server on the Raspberry Pi. So, let’s get started with learning how to set up FTP and SFTP on the Raspberry Pi. This tweak will help save you space on your SD card. Using FTP requires a few more steps but is also fairly simple to set up, mainly requiring us to install a separate server software such as vsftpd.Īn extra bonus you should also check out our guide on how to set up a mounted USB drive, so you have plenty of room for files and more. Setting up SFTP is a very straightforward process as it is part of the SSH standard. Using FTP is a great way to move files on and off of the Raspberry Pi without needing any fancy setups or physical access to the device itself. By default FTP operates on port 21, while SFTP operates on port 22. We should also note that it is possible to use both FTP and SFTP at the same time as they operate on difference ports. SFTP is considered to be much more secure thanks to its use of encryption for the transfer of data. The biggest difference between these two methods comes down to their security. This version of the protocol works over SSH. This method is called SFTP, it stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol. ![]() There is also an additional method that you can be used instead. Setting up FTP will allow for easy transferring of files to and from your Pi over a network.įor those who don’t know, FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is simply a method for transferring files between two devices over a network ![]() Connecting to 192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.In this guide, we are going to take a look at setting up FTP on the Raspberry Pi. I have however no clues how to get it, if you know.įull log of ~]$ lftp -p 2121 192.168.1.3 It would be interesting to have a log of what gvfs do since it ois apparently able to handle it correctly. Thunar uses in fact gvfs and I can use gvfs-mount instead (and I see the content under $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs/ (where depends of the address). I do not find a swift debug on android but I have no root access on this phone and some files are hidden into directories with only access permission, so you can find them unless you know precisely where it is. The logcat command on android does not give me further information. With lftp, I can have a full debug output I post it below, but I do not see anything more. Or maybe there is some sort of debug setting for ftp command line tools to show these kinds of things?Ĭan you check the logcat on your android phone as you try as well? Is there anything logged? Is there a swiftp logfile somewhere if not? Try sniffing the ftp command packets on your computer to check the actual paths being sent around. If you ask me if you are able to use Thunar they have worked around some sort of weird path that swiFTP gives back and the command line tools have no such workaround implemented.
