FTP Server v2.19.00 (Paid) [Latest]

This program allows you to run an ftp server on your android device.
This program allows you to run an ftp server on your android device. This means that any other computer/device can access the files on your android device while the ftp server is running. For example, entering ‘ftp://…’ in the firefox url bar will allow you to browse the files on your device from a desktop pc or a laptop.

By default, the user name and password are both ‘ftp’, you should change them. You use this user name and password when accessing the server.

For power and security reasons, it is recommended that the server be stopped after use.

The server is completely implemented in the app itself, it does not use an external library. It provides the best possible performance on android to run. Some advanced features like UTF8, MDTM and MFMT are implemented. Though the underlying file system must support them.

The Bonjour/DNS-SD support is very handy if the client os and it’s file manager also supports the protocols. In this way, the moment you start the ftp server on the android device, you will find it on the network folder of your desktop.

A lot of users asked if it was possible to automatically start the server when the android device was running. We found that it was more useful to automatically start the server when we are connected to certain wifi networks. This has the same effect and is very handy, for instance when you arrive home, start your ftp server. We then went even further and we added support for Tasker or Locale. The people who like to script some use case for there device can thus easily do that.

Logical settings are available, like you can for instance set anonymous login and configure chroot and port. A minor group of users have some special use cases. For instance running the server while tethering or running the server from the ethernet cable. All those are possible and we are open for more improvements.

The design follows the official guidelines. You can be sure that the interface and the logo’s look good on your device. We also make it easy to control the server, using notifications or widgets where needed.
