Ratings and reviews

Seems to accept ssh connections but cannot read the file system ("Permission denied"). So, pretty useless. Ad too intrusive so I will not keep trying .... No, sorry, it does work, it's just that it defaults to a "home" directory that's unusable. Remove the default paths, add a sensible one and it works as expected. The paid version seems less stable ....

Simple, efficient, with useful options. I really like the "Inactive/Active Tile" in Quick Settings. This is the best simple, secure way to wirelessly access, edit, transfer your smartphone's files and directories from/to your PC. You can mount your smartphone directory via the option "Connect to Server" in the file manager of your Linux distro. Most alternative file transfer methods require installing an app in both your smartphone and your PC. This way simply does NOT because Linux is awesome!

Host my internal storage and my SD card at the same time, a feat other apps failed to do, AND it automates starting the server on my home wifi for me so I don't need to wrestle with tasker style apps. Now I can automate music syncing from my linux home server to my Note 9's storage. 10/10, low maintenance, powerful, local ssh/sftp hosting for easy living.
