FTP Server 3.0.1 Apk for Android

Run an FTP Server on Your Android Device

With this program, you can easily set up an FTP server on your Android device. This feature allows any other computer or device to access the files stored on your Android while the FTP server is running. For instance, by entering ftp://... in the Firefox URL bar, you can browse the files on your device from a desktop PC or laptop.

Default Credentials

The default username and password for accessing the server are both ftp. It is highly recommended that you change these credentials for security reasons.

Important Note

For power and security reasons, it is advised to stop the server after use.

Performance and Usability

The server is fully integrated within the app itself, ensuring optimal performance on Android devices. Advanced features such as UTF8, MDTM, and MFMT are implemented, although the underlying file system must support them.

Bonjour/DNS-SD Support

This feature is particularly useful if the client operating system and its file manager also support these protocols. As soon as you start the FTP server on your Android device, it will be discoverable in the network folder of your desktop.

Automatic Startup

Many users requested the ability to automatically start the server when the Android device is powered on. We found it more practical to initiate the server when connected to specific Wi-Fi networks, making it convenient, for example, when you arrive home. Additionally, we have integrated support for Tasker or Locale, allowing users to script custom use cases easily.

Logical Settings

Flexible settings are available, such as enabling anonymous login and configuring chroot and port options. We accommodate various user scenarios, including running the server while tethering or via Ethernet cable.

Design and Interface

The design adheres to official guidelines, ensuring that the interface and logos look great on your device. We prioritize ease of control, utilizing notifications or widgets as necessary.

Open Source Information

The FTP Server is open-source software released under the GPL v3 license.
