R Rafa Narciso New Member Sep 18, 2015 #1 Is there any problem testing an ftp connection on a simulator? I can't seem to get a connection and I dont know whether it's because I am doing something wrong in code or whether I just need to use an actual device. If anybody has done an FTP connection on a simulator, I will then post my code and see what I am doing wrong.
