Ratings and reviews

Seems to accept ssh connections but cannot read the file system ("Permission denied"). So, pretty useless. Ad too intrusive so I will not keep trying .... No, sorry, it does work, it's just that it defaults to a "home" directory that's unusable. Remove the default paths, add a sensible one and it works as expected. The paid version seems less stable ....

Excellent app. The speed of its directory scanning and file transfers is amazing. It is a pity the app does not support root access so the clients would be able to see the entire filesystem structure.

The only real problem with this app is that it eats up battery A LOT when in use (even when no users connected). I have tried other similar apps which don't eat up battery. I can't understand why. For example, i have a lot of apps on my phone but when i check the Battery area this SSH/SFTP Server app is always at the top.. After charging my phone to 100% the night before, and when i wake up the next day, prior to installing this app i woud have 98% battery left. With this app installed (and running, even when no users connected), when i wake up my battery left is below 70%...Ughh. So the only reason i may have to deinstall it and go back to alternative choices is because of this. I would prefer to use this app but not at the expense of battery even when it has no connected users. And btw, the app is already set to "Not Optimized" under battery. Doesnt help.. The app just eats battery constantly even in doze mode apparently (since my phone is always sleeping).
