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 am using this app for two years it is a very convenient app. now it has a less feature called web server that is also very nice but I prefer that it should be released a seperate web server app in Play Store and keep ftp tool for ftp only. thanks 👍

A reliable FTP tool that saves time and works flawlessly.Quick uploads and downloads with no issues. Very user-friendly!"
