Trying to setup FTP but need help - Dman11 - 6th Sep, 2013 09:50 AM
I am trying to be able to FTP transfer files from my computer to my Pi which has my external HDD attached. I think i need to rename my HDD because it is showing up as /media/Dans External-A2AC8C9BAC8C6C1B which is kinda tough to work with.
It is formatted in NTFS. After I get the HDD setup my next goal is to setup transmission to download to a folder on the HDD.
I followed this guide for FTP

I tried looking around but couldn't find an answer. Sorry, i dont know anything about linux commands.
Any help is appreciated.

You shouldn't have a space in your hard drives label name.
Change the label to "dans_external" by doing this:
Terminal
mount
sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
sudo umount /media/Dans\ External-A2AC8C9BAC8C6C1B
sudo ntfslabel -f /dev/sda1 dans_external
Replace /dev/sda1 with the equivalent, you will see it from the output of the mount command.

@Dman11
how far you got with the ftp setup? can you log in to the RPI via FTP with user xbian ?
