Turn your Android device into a WiFi FTP Server in one tap and move photos, videos, music, and documents between your phone and any computer on the same network.

Stop looking for a USB cable every time you want to copy a file. Start the server, open Windows Explorer or Finder, and your phone storage appears like any other folder. Everything stays on your local network.

Q: Do I need an internet connection?

A: No. Both devices only need to be on the same WiFi network, or on the same phone hotspot.

Q: Is the transfer secure?

A: Enable FTPS (TLS) in Settings to encrypt the connection. Your files stay on the local network in every case — they never leave it.

Q: Can I use it without a WiFi router?

Q: Which FTP clients are supported?

A: Any standard FTP client — Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, Total Commander, ES File Explorer, and more.

Q: Does it keep working when I leave the app?

A: Yes, the server runs in the background as a foreground service. A notification with a Stop button stays visible so you always know when the server is active.
