This program lets you run an ftp server in your android device. This means that another computer/device can entry the information on your android system while the ftp server is operating. For example, coming into 'ftp://...' within the firefox url bar will let you browse the recordsdata on your device from a desktop pc or a laptop.

By default, the user title and password are both 'ftp', you need to change them. You use this person identify and password when accessing the server.

For energy and security reasons, it is recommended that the server be stopped after use.

The server is totally implemented within the app itself, it does not use an external library. It supplies the finest possible efficiency on android to run. Some superior features like UTF8, MDTM and MFMT are applied. Though the underlying file system should help them.

The Bonjour/DNS-SD support may be very helpful if the consumer os and it is file supervisor also supports the protocols. In this way, the second you begin the ftp server on the android system, you will find it on the network folder of your desktop.

A lot of users asked if it was possible to automatically start the server when the android device was running. We found that it was extra useful to mechanically begin the server after we are related to sure wifi networks. This has the identical impact and could be very helpful, for example if you arrive house, start your ftp server. We then went even further and we added assist for Tasker or Locale. The individuals who like to script some use case for there gadget can thus simply try this.

Logical settings are available, like you'll find a way to for example set nameless login and configure chroot and port. A minor group of customers have some particular use circumstances. For instance running the server whereas tethering or running the server from the ethernet cable. All these are potential and we're open for more enhancements.

The design follows the official guidelines. You can ensure that the interface and the brand's look good in your system. We additionally make it easy to manage the server, using notifications or widgets where wanted.
