  • Can I do this?

    From Axel@3:633/10 to All on Friday, June 12, 2026 16:05:49

    Is there a way to make a link/shortcut on the desktop that will load
    File Manager PCManFM, open it, and load address
    ftp://192.168.0.131:3815/ ? thanks,

    a link yes ! is juste a file with .desktop extention !

    if you know the syntaxe...

    after...i don't know...do PCmanFM have a exe terminal, and m‚thodes
    for this ? when you creation your .desktop's file you put it in
    the desktop folder...

    i 'll see what is the solution for your post... ;

    That's like the router administration page or something ? :-)

    What make and model of router is this ?

    There might already be a model-specific web page with some details for it.

    You can get some info on FTP here.

    no it's just to connect to my phone for file transfer. I'm just trying
    to save a few 'clicks'. :) no big deal if it can't be done. I'll just
    have to load PCManFM and type in the address

    From top of my head.
    Make desktop launcher for PCManFM on desktop.
    Menu/ right click on PCManFM/ Add to desktop
    In PCManFM
    Configure to open in ftp://192.168.0.131:3815/
    Like I have for Nemo.
    nemo Downloads %, so it opens in Downloads
    let me guess
    PCManFM ftp://192.168.0.131:3815 %
