How to debug flaky Android-to-Windows FTP connection in Windows File Explorer?
As an update, the situation has greatly improved with changing the FTP
server on the Android phone and by changing the FTP client on Windows 10. The results are currently mixed, but these are the ad hoc observations. - Whenever Windows 10 File Explorer doesn't connect, the Windows "FileZilla" FTP client will connect (as will the "WinSCP" FTP client but FileZilla has a nicer user interface than WinSCP but both work fine every time). - It seems that Windows 10 File Explorer doesn't connect more often when the Android FTP Server is "ES File Explorer" ESFTP (but I need to keep observing to make sure of that observation). - It seems Windows 10 File Explorer is more reliable when the Android FTP Server is "FTP Server (Free)" than when the ES File Explorer server is used (but I need to keep observing). So at the moment, if I use the free FileZilla client on Windows and the free "FTP Server (Free)" on Android, everything works fine all the time. Any setup using Windows File Explorer doesn't always work, but, with the FTP Server (Free) on Android, Windows File Explorer has been "mostly" reliable to the point that it's no longer a bone of contention. I will have to observe more over time, but overall, thanks for all the helpful suggestions, which helped me and others, and will continue to help others in the future. |

I think the problem is that Windows 10 File Explorer stinks when connecting to an Android phone running any of a bunch of free FTP Servers on anonymous FTP credentials over the local WiFi LAN. Specifically, Windows File Explorer usually works the "first time" where this screenshot is of the Android file system from slash (/) downward, e.g., if you want to copy the HOSTS files across Windows and Android over the local WiFi LAN. https://s1.postimg.org/hze7n5uhr/ftp...erver_free.jpg But Windows File Explorer very often (but not always) fails on subsequent tries (tested with multiple FTP servers). Meanwhile, FileZilla works every time (only seconds later). https://s1.postimg.org/jfpq5axen/ftp...rver_free2.jpg |
