How do I connect from FTP client on my phone to localhost ftp server?
by groovepunk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H8AC)
Hi all,
so I have installed vsftpd on my Debian Buster system, now I want to check my IP address and it gives the following: XXX.X.X.1/8. I believe this refers to localhost IP address on my computer.
No I want to connect from Android phone using AndFTP application, but when you add Hostname as your local IP address as describer above, it fails.
I am using standart Virgin Media Hub 3.0 here in UK, but the question is can I even connect through this hub to my localhost PC with anFTP application or do I have to provide an IP address of the router itself?
Is it even possible and how do I get that hubs IP address whilst using Linux terminal?
Thank you
