Ratings and reviews

I've used several file managers over the past 10 years or more to copy files between my phone and my Linux systems over ssh. Been using Mix for the past 5 years or so, but it suddenly stopped working with a connection error that I could not figure out. So, I decided to try AndFTP, and what a surprise. It was much easier to set up a connection, and took about a minute or two to have a perfect setup. Worked as expected, and was quick. Much easier to use and set up than any others.

Awesome Android FTP client. Once you have configured your server(s), then every time you open the app, you simply select the server of your choice to up or download your data. Effective app. The one annoyance, is that it only allows you to sort a directory by file name, size, or date; but not by file type. That option is not there. If the dev could add that, I think you have a very complete ftp app.

It works, it's intuitive, and it supports batch transfers, but that's about all I can say for it. It sends a LOT of unnecessary commands to the server (CWD before every transfer I can maybe excuse, but LIST after every file while doing a batch upload? Really?) and it's appallingly slow. During large batch uploads, there are big gaps between files as if it's iterating O(n) over every file it's already sent. This can get up to multiple seconds with 100 files or so.
