  • FTP to your ZGemma with Filezilla


    1. Download and install Filezilla from here and install on your laptop/PC.


    2. On your ZGemma box, from the remote control, go to:
    MENU - INFO PANEL - INFOS - NETWORK
    Near the top of the page it should show:
    Internet address: ###.###.#.### ( numbers should replace the hash tags )
    Take a note of this internet address.
    I use openATV but on other builds there may be different MENU options you may have to go under to find the internet address but it should be in the Network option.


    3. Once Filezilla is installed on your laptop/PC, open the program and you should have a screen similar to this:

    A = This is where to put the internet address that we took a note of earlier.


    B = The username is: root


    C = Press the quickconnect button to connect to your ZGemma box.


    D = The left side panel is the contents of your laptop/PC.


    E = The right side panel will show the contents of what you are connecting to.


    4. Once you have entered the details and connected to your box, you should have a screen similar to this:

    F = Like I said before, the left side panel is the contents of your laptop/PC. From here you can choose the file(s) that you wish to transfer to your box.


    G = The right side panel should now show you the contents of your ZGemma box.


    5. To transfer a file over to your ZGemma box you must follow these steps:


    -Once connected to your box, on the right side panel, find and open the destination folder you are going to put the file that you are transferring over.
    -On the left side panel, find the file that you are going to be transferring over to your box.
    -Right click on this file and click on upload.
    -The file should now be showing in the folder on the right side panel.


    Thats it, you just transferred a file from your laptop/PC over FTP to your ZGemma box.


    HOPE THIS HELPS

  • I am getting this same error message trying to connect. Have never had issues using FileZilla before


    It means exactly what it says: The server is insecure because it does not support FTP over TLS.


    Enable FTP over TLS in the Settings of FileZilla
