Can't ftp after switching from fixed to wifi network connection
I am using a laptop which has ethernet and wifi network connections.
The fixed connection is in the 192.168.1.X subnet (Ip address is set static in the router)
The wifi connection is in the 192.168.2.X subnet (Ip address is set static in the router).
This is the scenario:
I use the laptop with either the ethernet or wifi network connections being
active at any one time., with ethernet being used most . Sometimes I need to do
an ftp file transfer from the laptop to an android mobile phone. For the
ftp transfer, I go into adapter settings on the laptop, disable ethernet connection,enable
wifi connection and use some ftp server on the android and client on the laptop.
After enabling wifi connection, I check the ip addresses of the laptop and android - they are
correct/router has assigned the ip addresses, BUT I just can't connect via ftp - what knowledge
am I missing to understand why this is failing/is there something more I need to reset due to
changing network connections ?
Also, would appreciate a clarification - could both the ethernet and wifi connections be active at the same time on the laptop, if so / how does one identify which is to be used ?
