FTP
From NMTWiki
Easy and suitable for everyone.
FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. It is the most robust and fast way to transfer files to your NMT's local hard disk drive over a network.
Enabling FTP
It should be noted that by default, an NMT (without hard drive) does not have an FTP service and other network applications running. Don't bother trying to FTP to the device unless you add storage to it. The normal procedure is to first install a HDD (hard disk drive - please read the compatibility lists on this wiki for a make/model suitable for your NMT).
The NMT applications, also known as NMT Apps, can then be installed following two steps:
- Install a storage device for the NMT applications (see Installing an Internal Drive) and follow the instructions to install the NMT applications.
- Start the FTP service (and any other services you may be interested in).
Then you can use an FTP client on your computer to connect to the device and transfer the content.
Connect using FTP
The FTP service allows for simple and convenient file transfer to/from your NMT using the File Transfer Protocol. To use this, the FTP application must be enabled on the NMT via the Setup pages.
Connect with a FTP client, such as FileZilla or FireFTP, a Firefox plugin. Use the following settings and credentials:
- Host: Hostname or IP of your NMT (for example pch-a110 or 192.168.1.94)
- Port: 21
- Username: ftpuser (nmt for A-200/C-200 owners)
- Password: 1234
