Connect to Netbeast router via SFTP FTP client

pablopi edited this page Oct 30, 2015 · 1 revision

The Netbeast router implements a SFTP/FTP server in order to help developers work on their projects. We propose you three easy ways to modify your files directly on the board.

FileZilla

We can download FileZilla from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/?source=typ_redirect

Once you have the FileZilla client downloaded and activated on your computer, enter the domain name in the address field (you can also use the server's IP address). The username and password you need to type in are the same as the ones you use to log in to your cPanel. The FTP port is 21 and is filled in automatically.

In this case...

domain name: home.netbeast
username: root
password: root

And press on "Quick connect" button.

Now, you have a fast and easy connection to the router´s SFTP server. If you have any doubt about how FileZilla works, I let you all the documentation here

MAC Finder

Connecting to router's ftp server via finder is very easy:

  • Open a new finder window.
  • Then, select the Go menu in the menu toolbar.
  • Select connect to server, note that you can directly access this option with cmd+k. window like this one will display:

Conect server

In "server direction" type ftp://home.netbeast or ftp://10.0.0.1, home.netbeast is the Netbeast router gateway IP direction in the netbeast network.

The only thing left is to hit "Connect". You are ready to access all your router's files!

Sublime text

First at all, we need to install the Package Control for Sublime following these instructions.

Use the Package Control: Install Package command from the command palette. The command palette is opened via ctrl+shift+p on Windows and Linux, and cmd+shift+p on OS X.

Once you run it, type in 'SFTP' and press enter.

Now, we are going to setup our server connection

SFTP is configured through a JSON file maintaining the following structure, we recommend this configuration for work with Netbeast OS:

package.json config

You are ready to keep working in a faster and more confortable way! More documentation here!
