Trying to connect to ftp through filezilla

[stefan1959]

I guess you can create a mount location using that.

[CastLiveNow22]

ok so is that all i need to do then

[stefan1959]

I theory it should, /mnt is a spare location, so add something off that.

[CastLiveNow22]

ok i will try that and see what happens

[CastLiveNow22]

when name it this box shows up

[stefan1959]

I think you need to make the directories first. Use the /mnt location and see what happens. You need the forward slash.

[CastLiveNow22]

is this what u mean

[stefan1959]

pick a location, like i said /mnt is free. So either type it in or use button to the right to pick the location. the location needs to be empty. all else should be default

[CastLiveNow22]

right ok i understand

[CastLiveNow22]

now this is showing up

[stefan1959]

Also Create a ext4 filesystem first.

[stefan1959]

[stefan1959]
