Connect TV to server via FTP

[nicobdx]

Hi,

I will try to make it short.

I have a server abroad (Europe) which I use to upload/download with my family. This server also stores my film collection.

I have moved to the US and the server remains in Europe. Therefore I am trying to be able to stream a movie in the US from the server in Europe via my LG smart TV (LG Oled 55 B7A). When I go on the web interface of the server on my tv to access a movie, it tells me I cant download from there. How can I stream (not download, just stream) a movie on my TV from my server located in Europe?

Seems simple (in principle) but can't find a way.

Thank you

Hi,

I cannot suggest a way of doing it with FTP/web browser, basically the browser is very limited.  But if the server has the capacity install Plex Media Server; I highly recommend it.  My extended family watch mine from down the road or across the world while on work trips and vacation.
