Accessing FTP server via WAP

piggysmile · 04-12-2005, 06:24 PM

I want to do direct-linking in downloading media files (jpg,gif) from an FTP server via WAP. The media link looks like this:

Code:

ftp://123.45.67.890/picture.jpg.

Is this even possible?

Nokia 3530 displays "Page not found."

most cell phones do not allow FTP across their network only HTTP requests. You will need to find out what the http address for the picture is and download it that way.
