Ratings and reviews

Absolutely great app! You can select multiple folders for a single user, a feature other apps don't have. Only minor gripes: (i) the app doesn't support landscape orientation, and (ii) the app doesn't handle system-wide font scaling well; a bunch of text gets cut off.

So far does exactly what I need it to except for one minor niggle and I think that's more to do with the Android system than anything else. I would like to be able to specify my own FTP server address to always be used and cannot figure out how to do that. Only because my canon 5d2 isn't dynamic and always looks for the same one. So I have to edit it each time I turn the camera on. But that's more to do with old technology Trying to keep up with the modern age

Was working great but when I upgraded it to the latest version. I could no longer transfer files. I uninstalled it and reinstalled. I could then transfer files but found that it was not listing files correctly. Only recently transferred files are would be listed partially. Some file types are shown but not others. Listing files works fine when using SSH Server by this company but sadly the transfer speed is about half of what I get when using this app. Hopefully these issues will be fixed.
