connect to FileZilla server from android app

#1 Post by mizramir » 2013-08-26 06:48

I'm developing an Android app. I try to get all files i have in my FileZilla ftp server but connection fails every time.
Could someone please help me get over this issue?
a code snippet of my connection:

FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
ftpClient.connect("127.0.0.1",21);
ftpClient.login(USER-NAME, PASSWORD);

the connection fails at the second line ("connect")

this is part of my Log-cat:
08-26 09:44:48.382: W/System.err(6625): java.net.ConnectException: failed to connect to /127.0.0.1 (port 21): connect failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)

I even tried to connect from "AndFTP" android app but didn't succeed.

Did you allow FileZilla Server.exe through the firewall of the PC?

Sorry, don't have any knowledge about Android or Java. But please note that 127.0.0.1 will work ONLY on the system the server is on. From a different device you must use either the LAN IP (LAN) or public IP (Internet) to connect.

Please provide more detail about the process of creating and testing this Android app.
For example. When testing, is the app:

* Running in a development environment on the same PC as the FileZilla server, or
* Running on an actual Android device?
