Ratings and reviews

TL;DR - Get it, it's simple, it works. Consider buying the pro version.‏‏ ‏‏‎This is a nice little FTP app. I've never had any issues with it so far. Seems pretty stable! :: :: (My only gripe is that it's not open source, but that's my personal opinion.) :: :: I've transferred tons of files to and from my OG Xbox, NAS, routers, Windows & Linux desktops, you name it. Other apps I tried in the past had issues with authentication or non standard port numbers, and this one doesn't.

This worked great and allowed me to easily keep my files backed up after and Android updated prevented my phone from connecting to my computer. Never had any issues with the app. I do wish there was a way to see if active transfers were going on, so it start the download in my computer walk away and know when it is safe to turn to server off.

This has to be one of the most convenient apps out there. I find myself downloading a lot of files on my phone, and I'm too lazy to dig out a cable to transfer them to my PC. Now I can pop open an app like FileZilla on my computer and pull those files off my phone without any hassle. Plus, there doesn't seem to be a cap on speed, so there are times files transfer faster wirelessly than they do over USB.
