    Can't access FTP folder on Windows


    I'm trying to transfer some files from my PC to my Amazon firestick. On the firestick I downloaded ES File Explorer File Manager and activated the remote access. When I copy the ftp link on my web browser I get the "your internet access is blocked" error and when trying to access it through the File Explorer I get an error saying "FTP Folder error. Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: A connection to the server could not be established". I'm sure the name is correct. So why am I getting this error and how can I fix it?

    :)

    Remote access to my (local) server's folders

    I am running a simple local fileserver. Windows based.

    I would like to access (load, save, modify) what's on this server when I am away on business trips. Laptop -- internet -- router - server

    What is the best way to do this? Setup WebDAV or ftp-server or something else? I would prefer direct access, ie. being able to load/save from an application rather than using ftp as a separate step.

    Remote access to my (local) server's folders

    But what if he tries to access this mapped drive when he is not on the same subnet of his server ?

    Can't access FTP folder on Windows

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
