About this app

Smart FTP Server turns your Android phone or tablet into a local FTP, FTPS, and HTTPS browser file server for fast Wi-Fi file transfer. Move files between Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, another phone, or any browser on the same network without a USB cable or cloud upload.

Use Smart FTP Server when you want to:
- Transfer files from Android to PC over Wi-Fi
- Download photos, videos, documents, backups, and downloads from your phone
- Upload files from a computer or another mobile device to Android
- Share files on a home, office, or hotspot network
- Manage Android storage from FileZilla or another FTP client
- Open an HTTPS browser URL for quick local downloads and uploads

Core features:
- Android FTP server for local network file transfer
- Explicit FTPS support for clients that support FTP over TLS
- HTTPS browser access for listing, downloading, uploading, creating folders, and deleting files
- User accounts with password-based access
- Read-only, read/write, and admin permission controls
- QR code and copy actions for quick connection setup
- Live server status, connected clients, transfer stats, and activity logs
- Custom FTP port, passive mode settings, and idle timeout
- Optional auto-start on boot where supported by your device

How it works:
1. Connect your devices to the same Wi-Fi network or hotspot.
2. Start Smart FTP Server on Android.
3. Copy the FTP address, scan the QR code, or open the HTTPS browser address.
4. Transfer files locally without sending them through cloud storage.

Smart FTP Server is built for people who need a simple Android file transfer tool that works across devices. It is useful for moving camera files to a laptop, copying downloads to a desktop, sending documents to a tablet, or keeping an Android device available as a small local file server.

Security note:
Plain FTP is intended for trusted local networks. Browser access uses HTTPS with a local self-signed certificate, so browsers may ask you to trust it. Use strong account passwords, keep anonymous access off for normal use, and use explicit FTPS when your FTP client supports it. Avoid exposing the server directly to the public internet unless you understand the risks.

What’s new

Improved first-run conversion and reliability:
- Cleaner Home screen with core server controls up front.
- Dedicated Add/Edit User screen instead of a dialog.
- Persistent FTPS certificate handling and certificate details in Advanced settings.
- Safer browser upload handling for larger files.
