[Q] Access USB drive via FTP server appg - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an android device with USB port. When i connect a USB drive to this port, I am able to access all the contents of the drive from my device.
Now I installed an FTP server app(actually tried a lot of them). With this ftp server app running on my android device as server, I try to browse the contents from my PC using FileZilla. I am able to browse sd-card of phone and even write on that using FileZIlla but I am only able to brose this usb drive and not able to write on it from any ftp client.
I have tried a lot of ftp server apps on android and few client app on my PC but all same to give me only read only access to the USB drive and not write access.
Is it even possible to get the write access to this usb drive connected to android device via ftp client(when my android is running ftp server)?

Is there a windows program which basically shares those files to my smartphone via usb?
In the end I whould like to see all files of the external drive on my smartphone.

[Q] Howto attach to network drive ?

My WiFi router has a 32G flash drive plugged into its built-in USB port. All my Windows based PC's in my home, can access that flash drive as a network drive.
Is there any way that my Android devices (Droid 4, generic Allwinner tablet) can also access that drive? Of course, when they are connected up to my home's WiFi network.
I have been searching for such an app, unsuccessfully, though it is entirely possible that I am simply not using the correct terms when searching.
Just to add, both my devices are running ICS, and have been rooted (if that makes a difference for the answer).
You can use ES File Manager it allows for Samba / FTP file sharing it is a fairly strait forward app and you shouldn't have any difficulties using it.

word docs transfer

Nexus 9 to PC
Hi, this is my first post on any forum anywhere! usually i can google my way out of the problem, but i am stumped - it might be possible there is not a solution......
I have a nexus 9 with Word app, on which i create documents for work in .docx format. i need to transfer them to my PC for printing and further editing VIA USB as work policy won't allow the tablet to connect to work wifi or to use Cloud transfer.
I connect usb as MTP, see 'Internal Storage' - cannot find any of the word docs anywhere, i have tried to save them on a bunch of different places in the Nexus but still no joy. All of the guides i have seen end at the 'internal storage ' part and then say 'just transfer between pc and device'. I have been able to transfer pc to android and edit on Nexus, but then re-reading the file on the PC it is flagged as 'corrupted'.
Is there some software for the pc i need, or is it simply $$%"£"""£££ and i need to get a MS tablet for work?
thanks for any help!
Have you tried OTG cable? I normally use the cloud option or just have my work saved via email, but you certainly have the option to connect an OTG cable to your device with a flashdrive and use a file manager app to transfer files over while avoiding corruption.

No Wifi Conncetion to PC Via SMB

HI
I have a new Galaxy S5e tablet.
I have successfully made a connection via wifi to my PC using the microsoft shared app using my pc fixed ip address 192.168.1.100.
I have two other apps that both give the following error message when attempting to access my pc shared folders:
‘Connection failed with ‘Failed to connect: 0.0.0.0<00>/192.168.1.100’.Trying again.’
I have followed the instructions at:
"https://appuals"com/how-to-fix-the-windows-10-file-sharing-not-working-problem//how-to-fix-the-windows-10-file-sharing-not-working-problem/"
(remove the quotes change "com)
regarding my pc access, but I still get the error.
Does anyone know how what I need to do to connect to my pc shared folders via SMB?
Regards and thanks
I think that smb is off by default in win 10. Ensure it is on. You can check it via windows features in Progtams. Google smb windows 10 hot switch on and you will find plenty guides.
Both devices needs to be connected to the same wifi network.

SMB is definitely on.
Both devices are on the same wifi.
My pc does not have wifi but uses the router to connect.
I don't believe this is a problem with my wifi or pc or else Windows remote on my tablet wouldn't connect and work with my pc.
As it would appear no one has a clue where this code error comes from nor how to rectify it I have to assume Oreo is not fit for purpose.
