FTP, Linux
Posted: 12.04.2011, 14:23
I've seen on this board comment to the effect that File Commander won't run in Linux. True that there apparently is no native version of FC, but I have it running under WINE. My reason is that I am running a dual boot system (Win7 and LinuxMint 10 with a Netgear router (N600 WNDR3400) which has a usb port that is for connecting storage media. For some reason I cannot connect to the network drive through Netgear's ReadySHARE setup under Linux. It works as it should under Win7. I can connect to the drive using ftp either locally or over the internet under Linux. I can also log into the router and make configuration changes under either OS. However for day-to-day use external ftp is impractical at best.
That's how I cam to try out Free Commander (vs.2009.2b) hoping that I could use its internal ftp setup for more convenient transfer of files between the network drive and my Linux installation. I setup an ftp connection and get no listing of what's on the network drive, just "==== Connect: 4/12/2011 8:12:31 AM ====
11003 " in the ftp window. Under Extras/Settings/Drives I have combo box checked with "show free space" and show ftp as drive also checked.
Under FTP settings I am using the path suggested by my router, but am a little uncertain as to what I should enter under remote path. Local path would be my home directory (WINE c:\home\user)
Am I making some configuration error or is it possible that even though FC seems to be working under WINE perhaps the ftp part doesn't? TIA for any suggestions.

additional information:
I have now installed FreeCommander on my Win7 installation and trying to see if I can get the proper ftp settings under Windows and then transfer them to Linux. I got a different "error" message but still no startup folder on my network drive. to wit:
"==== Connect: 4/12/2011 10:01:59 PM ====
11004 The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found."
What's meant by "data of the requested type" my "remote path"? which is /USB_STORAGE/kb
Those are the top directories on the network drive.
