How to connect with Ftp server using USB cable:
This can useful when you have USB cable and not network available. 1) On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and set option "USB debugging". 2) Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable. 3) Start adb server. On your PC run command "adb start-server". adb is a program that you can find on android sdk. Usually you will find it on android-sdk\platform-tools\adb. 4) Forward needed ports from your PC to your phone. On your PC run command "adb forward tcp:2221 tcp:2221" You will need to repeat this step for all ftp server and passive ports configured in your phone. It will be easier if you use a small range of passive ports. With this, any connection in your pc to 127.0.0.1:2221 will be forwarded to your phone in port 2221. 5) Run Ftp server in your phone, open settings and in "Network interfaces" select "Loopback (127.0.0.1)" or "All" 6) Start ftp server. 7) In your PC connect your ftp client to ftp://127.0.0.1:2221 (port might be different, it depends on your Ftp Server configuration).
Connections in this mode need to be always started by PC so only passive mode is available when using USB connection.

I use it daily to transfer files wirelessly to my phone. Simple and stable. Decided to support the dev.
★★★★★
Best FTP server for android! Easy to use! Bought the pro version to support dev! Hope someday he will add encryption.
★★★★★
Works as intended on win10 x64 pro, and home editions, worked fine on linux as well, had to map out as a folder on Windows and on linux just use the file browser and map out target location as ftp
★★☆☆☆
it's good but slower than es file explorers ftp feature on small files. If es file transfer with 5-6mb/sec its transfers with lower than 1mb/sec. But big ones, both of them can send/receive 30mb/s.
★★☆☆☆
App won't work with pixel 4, refused refund.

This worked well on my Moto G, Android 5. Unfortunately, with Pixel 3, Android 10, I can connect to the server, but "ls" acts like it works, but lists nothing, and "put" says it writes the file, with byte count, but no file is written to the custom server directory. When I set up the custom directory on the phone, I can see and open the files in the directory, so I have set a valid directory. Maybe there is some new permission required in Android 9/10.
