Connecting to server in the Files app on iPhone

Hi!


I have recently bought an iPhone 14 and I am trying to connect to server the Files app. However, the message "There was a problem connecting to the server. Socket is not connected" appears constantly.


If someone has had the same problem, could you help me to solve it?


Thank you very much,

Yago

I had this issue and then blindly stumbled into the solution. It may have been because I wasn't sharing any folders trying to connect. I set up a folder, putting a file in it, then Properties>Advanced Sharing>[ ]Share This Folder. Then back out a level to Share...>(Click on a name)>Done.


Or... maybe Apple could just not make sharing files wirelessly with a PC so Kafkaesque?
