## Description

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.

## Review summary

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)
