Features & Capabilities

FTP Client Lite is the lighter, browser-based FTP solution. It supports SFTP and FTPS (implicit and explicit), private keys, and both passive and active transfer modes. When uploading, files retain metadata; you can view images in a grid and edit common text formats with a built-in editor that includes color coding, wrap, regex search/replace, and line numbers.

File management and integration: move, copy, rename, delete, create folders, set permissions (CHMOD), zip/unzip, and share via email. It also offers Dropbox integration, encoding support, and app password protection. This Lite edition delivers essential, fast remote file access for professionals needing secure access from a browser extension.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for free, easy basic FTP use and responsive support, but repeatedly complain about upgrade nagging and crippling lite features, editor problems caused by smart quotes, lack of bulk upload, and occasional login/connectivity issues.

Pros

Free lite version offering basic FTP functionality
Simple and easy-to-use interface
Core FTP operations (connect, upload, download, browse, manage files) work
Support from developers is responsive

Cons

Pro upgrade prompts and lite version crippling (nagware, purple screen to push upgrade)
Editor issues due to smart quotes/smart punctuation on iOS that disrupt code editing
No bulk upload or select-all functionality makes uploading multiple files tedious
Connectivity/login reliability problems across some servers
Limited bookmarking/organization features (no or poor bookmark support)

The text editor for this app will convert all your quotes to smart quotes. So, don’t use it to edit any code files or it’ll hose them! I got a developer response telling me to disable smart quotes system wide to fix the issue. That is not a solution when other FTP apps, that I now use, do not have this issue. The app shouldn’t allow smart quotes, it shouldn’t matter what my system wide settings are.

Connects ok, but when using to upload photos to an Eframe you have to browse to the folder depth one at a time, select a single photo, upload that, then browse back again, select another etc. There is no select-all anywhere. Forget it, would take years to do anything useful.
