The only issue I have, is the fact that I can't set an IP address to the app. Every time I turn it off it resets to a new one. It is great for transferring files between the computer and has many more uses, but for most anything you would need to be able to set an IP to that device (security cameras). If your phone dies or something then you have to reset everything. Add that and you easily get 5 stars. That small setback makes it a pain in the ass to use simply for transferring files.

On my Galaxy J7 (2018) it seems to not be able to download.. It could be with the app or Android Pie. Uploading works perfectly and I absolutely love this app! I've set it up with my S8 to use as cloud storage and easy transfer from devices

I use this app to sync photos from a phone that's supposed to run unattended to create a very long timelapse of some plants. Performance of the FTP server is superb, even for rather long directory listings. However, every now and then the server just stops accepting connections. To bring it back to live, I'd have to stop the FTP server, wait for it to come up with a "This app has stopped working" message, force close it and then start it again. If this issue would be fixed, I'd definitely give it 5 stars.

In the time shareit and other similar apps bugging out, this app has been a saviour. I have used this along with andftp for nearly 7 years now and not once got an issue.

This app has been around as long as I've been using Android and it's always there for me in those once in a blue moon times when I need to FTP to my phone

Worth the 0.99$, works like a charm under Windows 10 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S9+. I created a mounted drive link to the phone FTP server under Windows 10 Pro so I don't have to reconnect to it everytime. All I have to do is open the APP and start the server and as soon as I arrive home I have direct access to all my photos and stuff on the phone and can just download them in a few clicks. Have many and settings to root, internal storage, SD card and a custom folder (What I did). *****👌

About this app

How to connect with Ftp server using USB cable:

This can useful when you have USB cable and not network available.
1) On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and set option "USB debugging".
2) Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.
3) Start adb server. On your PC run command "adb start-server".
adb is a program that you can find on android sdk. Usually you will find it on android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.
4) Forward needed ports from your PC to your phone. On your PC run command "adb forward tcp:2221 tcp:2221"
You will need to repeat this step for all ftp server and passive ports configured in your phone. It will be easier if you use a small range of passive ports.
With this, any connection in your pc to 127.0.0.1:2221 will be forwarded to your phone in port 2221.
5) Run Ftp server in your phone, open settings and in "Network interfaces" select "Loopback (127.0.0.1)" or "All"
6) Start ftp server.
7) In your PC connect your ftp client to ftp://127.0.0.1:2221 (port might be different, it depends on your Ftp Server configuration).

Connections in this mode need to be always started by PC so only passive mode is available when using USB connection.
