## Review summary

Ftp Server Pro is appreciated for its simplicity, reliability, and ad-free experience, making file transfers between phone and PC seamless across platforms. Users praise its configurability and value for money. However, common issues include the server freezing after prolonged use, inability to run effectively in the background, limited remote access beyond local networks, and navigation difficulties with custom folders. The app hasn't had updates for several years, which may cause compatibility problems on newer Android versions. Despite these, it remains a favored FTP solution with room for improvements.

### Pros

- Clean, simple, and easy to use interface.
- Ad-free, with a well-priced pro version worth supporting.
- Highly configurable with support for custom folders, usernames, and passwords.
- Reliable FTP functionality across different platforms like Windows, Linux, and Mac.
- Useful tool for transferring files, photos, and documents between PC and phone without an SD card.

### Cons

- The server occasionally freezes after running for extended periods (around 20-24 hours) and requires restarting.
- Cannot run in the background properly; transfers stall when switching to other apps.
- Limited remote access capabilities; works mainly within the local Wi-Fi network.
- Custom folder navigation issues; no folder tree view to browse for custom folder selection.
- Lack of updates since 2017 leading to some compatibility issues with newer Android versions and permissions.
