I try to create FTP connection via Tramp, but the output I get on AngeFTP is:

ftp> open android.local
ftp: Can't connect to `192.168.0.21:21': Connection refused
ftp: Can't connect to `android.local:ftp'
ftp>

I have tried many different options, but nothing works. SFTP works fine, but I can't get FTP working. Here is my config:

/etc/hosts

192.168.0.21 android.local

~/.netrc

machine android.local
    login foo
    password foo
    port 2221

init.el

(set-register ?a (cons 'file "/ftp:[email protected]:#2221:/storage/0123-4567"))

Any ideas?

EDIT: I was able to connect via ftp client from the terminal (outside Tramp) with the command ftp ftp://foo:[email protected]:2221, but can't replicate that via Tramp.

  • Seriously: your FTP server seems to be located on an Android device. Are you able to connect with a vanilla FTP client, from a shell? And, btw, I'm not sure that Ange-FTP is able to read multiple line .netrc entries. Commented Jan 30, 2021 at 18:44
  • @MichaelAlbinus yes, I found it best, OS agnostic way to transfer files to Android devices. I used to use FileZilla for this, but it would be easier by just using Tramp. Obviously you need FTP server app. Commented Jan 31, 2021 at 9:49
  • Honestly, this needs debugging. Not possible on SX. Pls contact us via the [email protected] ML. Commented Jan 31, 2021 at 14:30
  • Ok. Can you tell what I should put into the message, if the copy of this post will be sufficient? Commented Jan 31, 2021 at 16:08

There is a syntax error in the example. "/ftp:[email protected]:#2221:/storage/0123-4567" must be "/ftp:[email protected]#2221:/storage/0123-4567".
