how can i use tc with xiaomi shareme ?

[giulia]

hi

right now i have a xiaomi 14 pro with shareme app , it's a xiaomi app

i can select connect to the computer , portable (no secure ->without user and password)

in windows 11 explorer it works perfectly
under tc no , tc does ask me username and password

i can do it with WinSCP and filezilla

why doesn't tc 11.51 work?
thanks

Sorry, I'm not familiar with xiaomi shareme. What settings do you use in WinSCP and Filezilla? SFTP? FTPS?

hi
ftp , these settings anonymus login , port and 192... . that's all

Then it should also work with Total Commander FTP (Ctrl+F). Try enable logging via menu
Configuration - Options - FTP
and post the results here, or send them via e-mail.

An empty username is invalid. Enable anonymous login in the connection settings and it should work, provided that the server allows that as you claimed above.

hi
Enable anonymous login is enabled
i think i could be a bug , just because many free programs work , maybe tc could not handle or it's a bug
i would like to use tc , just because it's more powerful tool
thanks

Did you enable the anonymous login on the client, i.e. the connection in TC? To do that click on the button "Anonymous login (e-mail address as password)". Once you do that TC will fill in "anonymous" as username.

hi
yes i set the Anonymous login but tc does ask me a user and password
user name and password , in the log ->invalid user
in forum , sadly i can't upload a screenshot

Maybe it's easier when you post the connection's section in wcx_ftp.ini here. It looks like this if anonymous login is enabled

Code: Select all

[foobar]
host=ftps://someserver.tld
username=anonymous
anonymous=1
pasvmode=1

hi
it' works now with these settings

Code: Select all

username=anonymous
anonymous=1
pasvmode=1

but in the option , i can find how enable anonymous=1
in the guide / help i find these

Anonymous login
Press this button to configure Total Commander to make an anonymous connection. This means that anonymous is sent to the server as the user name, and your e-mail address as the password. Total Commander will ask for your e-mail address each time you press this button.

User name: Here you can enter the user name (anonymous if you don't have an account on the server).

when i click on anonymous connection total command does ask me for a "your email address for password" !
it's strange or?
thanks

That's not strange at all. Remember that FTP is decades old and it started before even the web (WWW) existed.

Even today some servers might require a password also for an anonymous login, and usually a mail address is used for this. Nobody says that you need to input your real mail address; I often use something like a@aol.com.

hi
with a face email address it doesn't work
only with these settings

Code: Select all

username=anonymous
anonymous=1
pasvmode=1

if you own a smartphone , there is a ftp program to connect and without passwords
might you please check it and test without the settings liked above?
thanks
