About this app

Turn your Android device into a fast, secure FTP/FTPS and HTTP file server.

Share files over Wi‑Fi or mobile hotspot—no cables or internet required. Browse and download in any modern web browser, or use your favorite FTP client for full file management.



Highlights

- One‑tap server: Start/stop instantly and keep it running in the background (foreground service).

- Browser‑friendly: Built‑in HTTP web interface for easy browsing and direct downloads (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).

- FTP + FTPS (SSL/TLS): Secure connections with TLS 1.2/1.3. Supports explicit/implicit modes and certificate management (self‑signed).

- Secure access: Anonymous or username/password, HTTP Basic Auth, and optional Read‑Only mode to prevent changes.

- DDNS support: Use a static hostname (No‑IP, DuckDNS, Dynu, FreeDNS, custom). Automatic IP updates when it changes.

- QR code sharing: Share FTP/FTPS and HTTP URLs (with credentials if you choose) for super‑quick connections.

- Your rules: Choose the shared home directory and customize FTP/SSL/HTTP ports.

- Works anywhere: Wi‑Fi, mobile hotspot, or Ethernet—no internet needed on the local network.

- No root required: Works out of the box on Android 6.0+.

- Multi‑language UI: Localized strings with ongoing improvements.



Perfect for

- Moving large files between phone, tablet, and PC (Windows, macOS, Linux)

- Accessing Android storage from FileZilla, Windows Explorer, Finder, and more

- Sharing photos, videos, and documents on your LAN/hotspot

- Developers and tinkerers testing FTP clients and workflows

- Simple backups to and from your device



How to connect

1) Connect your phone and computer to the same Wi‑Fi or your phone’s hotspot.

2) Open the app and tap Start Server.

3) Connect in one of two ways:

   • FTP/FTPS: Use any FTP client (e.g., FileZilla) with the shown address and port.

   • Web browser: Open the shown HTTP address for instant browsing and downloads.

4) Log in (if enabled) and start transferring files.

Note: Modern browsers no longer support ftp:// links directly—use the app’s HTTP link or an FTP client.

Ratings and reviews

Works fine up to the point of connecting. These apps need something to tell you you're connected and who is connected to you. I've tried using the same apps to connect between various systems, and they don't seem to mesh. I suspect one reason is that one is a Kindle and has an Amazon server that is needed to go through normally.

I liked the old interface... very simple, only a START button to push. And only the IP & port to deal with next. I created a PC app and an Android app. Data needs to be transferred from PC to Android. The PC side can send FTP, but the phone app is small and simple, no room for FTP there. Your FTP tool has filled that gap admirably. The user doesn't have to know anything. 1. Click Start, it's the only thing on the screen. 2. Shows IP & port... input them on the PC. 3. Click transfer on the PC. Works great! The simpler the FTP tool, the better!... if we want a lot of features in the interface, there are other apps that do that better. Keep your goal to be #1 easiest to use FTP... hide the new options and details on menus, keep them out of the interface... my opinion!

This app is very useful for file transfer over Wifi.
