I'm an extra newb and i would appreciate some help. Since SMB support for Android sucks (its a know matter where you get back speeds no matter your setup) i thought of setting up the ftp and broadcasting the smb contents through there. So i enabled ftp service, added a single smb share for testing purposes, saved and applied the settings, and restarted the machine.
So on my mobile android device, i got an ftp client i set my localip:21 and it connects coming up with an empty directory.
Any theories on where im messing up
