Cannot FTP to Kodi

s2tephen · May 28, 2017 at 3:47 PM

HTPC Zotac i730

LibreeElec V8.02 installed

Samba is installed on kodi and turned on

SSH is also turned on

Cannot see the zotac / Kodi install via network on my windows 10 PC

Also cannot FTP into it.

Used to be able to on previous builds.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

Are any firewall settings on the Win10 pc perhaps blocking the connections to the LibreELEC box?

I use core ftp lite for my libreelec boxes

Have turned of firewall in win 10 made no difference.

I have 2 synology boxes and an enigma 2 VU+ box on network and can see them fine.

Does your LE box have a 'normal' IP address from the router's DHCP pool?

Win10 doesn't support client connections to NT1/SMB1 servers since a security update in late 2016 and the version of Samba used in LE doesn't support SMB2/3 - hence it cannot browse/connect to our Samba server. This will/should be resolved in a future release that bumps the version of Samba to something that supports newer protocol versions.

NB: LE does not support (and never has supported) insecure FTP connections. You can use SFTP (FTP over SSH).
