Probelm ftp with FireStick: EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided

#1 Post by hispanico » 2021-11-11 20:06

On my firestick 4k max i use program X-Plore at https://www.lonelycatgames.com/docs/xplore
So i set correctly ftp server so i can enter from my windows pc to memory of Firestick, following these instructions:

FTP sharing server
FTP server of X-plore allows to share device’s files over FTP protocol, so that other devices on local network can work with the files.
The FTP server can’t utilize default FTP port 21, but it rather uses port 2222 (configurable in settings).
When FTP server is active, you can connect to your Android device from other devices on LAN, such as PC, mobile phone or other computer that can use some FTP client.
FTP server can be started and configured by opening FTP item, and using topmost FTP sharing item.
To start/stop FTP server, click button on right side of this item. When server is running, this item will show address of the server, for example ftp://192.168.1.22:2222.
To configure FTP server parameters, click on the item, after which a dialog will appear where you can configure it, or read help.


So in my case is digit on quick connection 192.168.0.125, user:admin, pass:123456 and port 2222 and enter on ftp
But if i want save this, on Site Manger, i input and save identical data, but when select connect i receive always

Status: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".
Error: Could not connect to server

Please can you help me ?

Thank
Hispa

Did you manually type in the address, or did you copy and past it in? In the latter case there may be invisible control characters.

Must be entered in Site Manager like this: 192.168.1.22 and port 2222 - don't include the ftp://!

I don't recall whether the selected protocol in the choice or a typed in protocol prefix takes precedence, but upon validating the entry (switching site, or saving) the prefix is removed from the host.

Just tested, typed in protocol sets the options accordingly.

Usually, that error shows for me when I accidentally used colons or commas for the IPv4 address, again (common error of mine, sausage finger typer). :roll:
