Ratings and reviews

I connected to the server using "ftp://IPADDRESS:PORT" in MacOS Finder. The user and password is "anonymous" by default. Now I can wirelessly transfer all my data to my Desktop while on a private LAN without having to use cables, cloud storage, or slow/buggy software. This cross-platform, native solution runs fast and does exactly what I needed it to 😃. Once I'm done, I shut it off, it's pretty simple. My phone is battery operated, so it makes sense to not run a file server on it 24/7.

Works well, one thing I like to have the option for is to sticky the IP of the server, I mainly use this to transfer files between my phone and TV, on TV side I have to change the FTP connection to match the server... otherwise excellent app! OK got it, should of rembered that from windows... thx

Excellent FTP server. Love the multiuser feature! This FTP server has only two issues. One big and one minor. The big one is that it does not support listing of only one file, so it is cumbersome and risky to use with PC backup software. The minor is that it only shows users connected, but not current/latest user activity (ex: file being currently transferred/or no files being currently transferred). Will give 5 stars when this is supported, and will also purchase the software at this point!!!
