2023-09-22 | Private Information | App is garbage. Can't FTP my pictures of of my phone to back then up, even on a LAN. Why are you protecting me from me? I didn't ask that. "Yo protect your privacy, choose another folder" error. It's *MY* phone! *I* choose where to save \ retrieve data from! | |
2023-07-05 | Archit Yadav | Extremely useful app. Been using this app since few years. I use FileZilla on my PC to connect to FTP server created by this app. I exclusively use this app for transferring large number of files over Wi-Fi. | |
2022-12-05 | Fran “F77” | the best. after getting a new samsung phone 2022 i couldnt use wifi direct with old phone....only Bluetooth.. extremely slow ..30 min for 200mb. i ran this ftp server on my new phone and used an ftp client on the old phone. perfect.. very fast. very easy. very stable. and very useful can edit and delete or send or download directly. small ad in bottom flashing absolutely no problem it doesnt bother in the least. highly recommended. | |
2022-05-23 | rune titan | It did work kind of. The file transfer kept timing out and then this app doesn't show up on my phone when I attempt to find it. I at least managed to transfer a couple of photos across | |
2022-05-06 | Mathias | This app wass the best a few years ago. And it remains the best of its kind today. UI could use a revamp. It's sad because its ugliness (sorry but it's true) doesn't attract users. This app could generate money with a more attractive UI and a bit of marketing... But at least it works, and flawlessly. Ftp Server destroys any competition when it comes to sending files AND folders between Android and any other device. Top notch ! | |
2021-07-07 | Anshuman Panda | Excellent app. FTP over USB(Tethering) is so much better than the dumb MTP. It would be great if there is an option to activate the server automatically everytime the app is launched. I am using Tasker to automate stuff. Thanks. | |
2020-12-12 | Calla Orion | I loved this app for so long. Used it almost every day to connect my phone to my Windows desktop that doesn't like my phone's USB connection for some reason. But it stopped working with Mobile Hotspot for no reason. Just says to connect to a network now. Thanks for the good times while they lasted! | |
2020-08-31 | Jared Parker | The only issue I have, is the fact that I can't set an IP address to the app. Every time I turn it off it resets to a new one. It is great for transferring files between the computer and has many more uses, but for most anything you would need to be able to set an IP to that device (security cameras). If your phone dies or something then you have to reset everything. Add that and you easily get 5 stars. That small setback makes it a pain in the ass to use simply for transferring files. | |
2020-05-10 | JF R | Worth the 0.99$, works like a charm under Windows 10 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S9+. I created a mounted drive link to the phone FTP server under Windows 10 Pro so I don't have to reconnect to it everytime. All I have to do is open the APP and start the server and as soon as I arrive home I have direct access to all my photos and stuff on the phone and can just download them in a few clicks. Have many and settings to root, internal storage, SD card and a custom folder (What I did). *****👌 | |
2020-04-14 | A Google user | I use this app to sync photos from a phone that's supposed to run unattended to create a very long timelapse of some plants. Performance of the FTP server is superb, even for rather long directory listings. However, every now and then the server just stops accepting connections. To bring it back to live, I'd have to stop the FTP server, wait for it to come up with a "This app has stopped working" message, force close it and then start it again. If this issue would be fixed, I'd definitely give it 5 stars. |
