We knows that we have the correct URL, Login and password since with other SFTP client (Total Commander + SFTP plugin or psftp.exe) it works correctly. I am glad that i figured it out.We are trying to use the swiss-knife cURL in a batch to upload file using SFTP (so with SSH) in windows environment. Definitely no need to use USB flash drives (USB memory sticks/thumb drives/pen drives) for this purpose, the transfer of files. To me, using the default file manager (Dopus11) on my old Windows machine for accessing the raspi file system and copying data back and forth feels like the most natural, direct and most elegant method of all. I enabled VNC too, and it doesn't seem to interfere with my SFTP actions.

Of course, one should enable/activate SSH on the raspi ( Raspberry > Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Interfaces: > SSH: > Enable > OK). But the latest version of Dopus11 does the job! Dopus12 was released 12 months ago, but is maybe not needed on a XP-machine. There are much better more modern all-in-one file manager for Android, like X-plore, but their relevant functions cost $.$$, ouch.įinally i figured out how to use my installed file manager Dopus ( Directory Opus, ever heard of it?) for the task. It does the job! SFTP on an Android phone, i'd recommend Totalcommander, it is FREE after all. A workhorse client appreciated by old users who grew up with the birth of Win3.11 software like my colleagues and neighbors. Feels like 80's piece of software and certainly looks like it. I tried Totalcommander w/ SFTP plugin from Google Play Store. The log actually hinted me at a wrong password.

I tried FlashFXP 5.x and it didn't work until after a few tries with different settings or maybe i got the password wrong my bad lol. If you can get SmartFTP to establish sftp connection with raspi, please let us know. I tried the latest 30-day trial version of SmartFTP and the connection didn't follow through. (Btw the Win32/64 VNC Viewer application, which could be used for convenient file transfer too, does not support WinXP either.) A quick follow-up, sharing some experience/info from a beginner's POV:įileZilla might work for our purposes but it does not support WinXP.
