I found Internet settings but there's very little on FTP.

I see what you mean on FTP. I think Linux downloads the file somewhere then opens it. I tried a presentation file and it took quite a while to open it in Libre Office. But what Windows does makes no sense to me. When Edge opens it goes to the home page and does nothing with the file.

Yes, they do allow that Hokie Feb 18 #9

You could try that or SCP. I think I used SCP the last time I was doing file transfers on a Raspberry Pi. CentralMass Feb 18 #10
