In this project, the MP3 player operates as FTP Client and connect to FTP server to get the music files. So, we need to to make  FTP server. For this, we are going to use a FTP program provided by altools.com (a Korean company). You can choose any other program for FTP server operation. Install the program in you PC and set the appropriate configuration for server operation

Below is the network configuration for WIZwiki-W7500

The parameter values for MyFTP.open function is IP / Port / ID / Password of FTP server

After changing the values of network parameters and compile it at the mbed web compiler. If you get the binary file, write it in the WIZwiki-W7500 just by drag & drop.

4. Testing

Now, we will test the MP3 player that we made. After connecting the power, and open the serial terminal, you can see below messages are printed in the terminal window.

You can check if the client correctly connects to FTP server at the Server program

The LCD will display the information of the playing music
