## Description

Turn an unused Android phone into your personal file server.<br><br>  ReCell File Server runs an FTP/WebDAV server on a spare Android phone, allowing PCs and other devices on the same network to upload, download, create, move, and delete files.<br><br>  [Key Features]<br>  - FTP/WebDAV file server<br>  - User account and password-based access<br>  - Shared folder configuration<br>  - File upload, download, create, move, and delete<br>  - Server access logs and status notification<br><br>  [How to Use]<br>  1. Install the app on a spare Android phone.<br>  2. Allow the required permissions and configure battery optimization settings.<br>  3. Connect the phone to Wi-Fi and, if needed, set a reserved local IP address or DHCP reservation on your router.<br>  4. Configure router port forwarding only if you need access from outside your local network.<br>  5. Keep the phone connected to power and Wi-Fi while running the server.<br><br>  If your Wi-Fi router supports multiple bands such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 6GHz, keep the server phone connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Connecting to a different network may change the local IP address.<br><br>  For security, use a strong password and avoid exposing the server to untrusted networks.
