Hi All,
I am currently working on something, which sounds simple in some respects.
I need my spare android phone to act as an FTP Server - Easy enough done on a LAN, but I need to make it accessible across the internet, as I need to get a service I use to send files to my phone via FTP (its a long story, but the service can only email large files automatically, and they exceed the average 25mb size limit - or they can FTP - no other transfer method is available). I also need to use my mobile, as all the internet access I have whilst on the move is via my mobile, and I cannot setup the network at home to do port redirect, so its basically the phone has to be the ftp server (and seemingly the router)
Rather than buying an FTP and webspace, I have read up on a few things that can be done. I have downloaded "My FTP Server" and set that up on my device, which is accessible over the LAN. I then downloaded Port Forwarder, and configured the incoming port, redirect outgoing port and the loopback IP of my phone to direct traffic.
I then signed up to http://freedns.afraid.org/ and created a subdomain, which when I input the current IP Address of my device on the Internet, resolves correctly, so it can see the IP correctly.
Theoretically, I can see no reason why this is failing. I appreciate the limitations are the network will by default disable ICMP Ping requests, and the IP address is Dynamic (though I can change it on demand as and when I need the files!) but beyond that, I cannot see what to do here.
Anyone got any suggestions?
The device is as follows:
Landvo L900
Dual Sim, 3G and 2G
Android 4.2.2
Device is rooted
I appreciate any advice you can offer!
