User Reviews

The app is a powerful, long-standing FTP tool with a built-in editor and strong security protocol support, praised for reliability and feature depth. However, stability issues, confusing and costly Pro upgrades, and inconsistent maintenance across iOS versions are the most common complaints, with several reports of crashes, feature outages, and limited support.

Pros

Powerful, feature-rich FTP toolkit with robust remote file editing and transfer capabilities.
Built-in text editor enables quick on-device edits to remote files without needing a local copy.
Supports secure protocols (FTPS/SFTP) and generally reliable connections.
Longstanding, trusted app with ongoing improvements and device compatibility updates (e.g., iPhone X support).
Highly regarded for reliability and efficiency, often preferred over alternatives like Textastic.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability, especially during edits or at launch.
Pro upgrade pricing and licensing confusion, including additional costs and unclear upgrade flow.
Maintenance and compatibility gaps: slow updates and breakage on newer iOS/iPadOS versions.
Specific feature outages (e.g., Dropbox integration, camera-roll uploads, or editing in certain updates) and other reliability issues.
Some users report slow or unresponsive support and unclear licensing information.

This is probably my favorite ftp app I’ve found, however in order to edit files I have to buy pro, which is fine. But when I try I’m told I have to be connected to the internet. My wifi is on. Please help. I’ll be happy to give five stars if I can get pro.

This was a handy little app. However, I recently upgraded my iPad from iOS 7 to iOS 9. The app opens, but when I try to edit a file, the app closes. I noticed a "Pro Upgrade" (for iOS 7!), but it costs an additional $3.99. Time to start looking for a more reliable app. You got my money once, I'm no fool. UPDATE 7/31/2021: I've been limping along, able to perform simple edits. Today, however, using my iPad6 (iPadOS 14.7.1), I can open a file for editing, I can place the cursor where I want to edit, but when I try to type, the app closes. Upon restarting, the app, it tells me I was editing a file when it closed, and asks if I want to continue. No matter what I do, it always closes when I try to edit. “Upgrade” is now $9.99, but why would anyone thing that it would work any better?
