I am unable to connect with FTP to upload my music

Updated 1 min read

Updated: 28 September 2026 · Applies to: Centova Cast v3

Check these points when you cannot connect by FTP to upload music:

  • Use your Centova Cast username and password (not the admin account or your DJ/source password).
  • Use FTP port 21. Your streaming port (for example 8000 to 8100) is only for audio and does not accept FTP.
  • Use the server host name or IP address shown in Centova Cast.
  • If your FTP program has trouble listing folders, switch it to passive mode.

You can also upload with the web uploader in Centova Cast's file manager.
