I can connect to my phone using ftp once I installed the WiFi FTP Server app. And using ftp the files are editable where they are not with http. I don't understand how the guy on the youtube video was able to accomplish mapping his phone as a drive. WebDavI guess the old saying is true. "I saw it on the internet it must be true"
I cannot map a drive with the ip address
The drive I'm trying to map only has an IP. It is my phone. But the same rule applies to my Buffalo NAZ. I cannot map a drive in my Naz by IP. Luckily, I know my name of my NAZ server. So I am certain if I fix the issue of not being able to map by IP, I will be able to map my Naz drives by Ip as well as my phone. I am using WebDav from Google Play to make my phone act as a server.
- I can ping my phones IP (Ping 192.168.1.14)
- I can connect with my browser (https://192.168.1.14:8080/)
- I cannot connect or Map using my IP with a "net use" command or "Map Network Drive".
- Net use Y: \192.168.1.14\Storage\Emulated\0
- Right click on My Computer in File Explorer and selecting "Map Network Drive"
Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember fixing this at work, I just can't remember how.

2024-10-01T03:00:44.7133333+00:00 After all the things we tried, I assumed I would never be able to accomplish what the man on the youtube video did. He was able to map his phone as a drive so easily. I decided, if y'all could not figure it out, I was not going to figure it out.
But...
Today I downloaded a third party file explorer and it works. I'm still studying it.
- I installed the program from Microsoft Store (Mighty File Explorer)
- I mapped the drive
- At this point I can edit files that are on my phone with my pc. And if I wanted to I could delete files.
