Comments on WiFi FTP Server for Android

★★★★★ Shreyas Krishnan · May 12, 2026

Very good app👍👍 You know what you are making life easy for those whose Bluetooth card on pc or laptop ain't working or phone itself not getting connected to pc via USB c cable. But please make the app work faster on slow internet or mobile data connections as well🙏

★★★★★ under prism · May 13, 2026

Been using this for quite some time It's really the best for pc to phone file transfer, fast, and easy

★★★★★ Chandragupt Dubey · Apr 4, 2026

Very, very useful and effective application to solve the purpose, file transfer is now just a click away after I found this app in Play store that too is without any cable or USB or anything.

★★☆☆☆ Jeffery Wright · May 10, 2026

It's fiddly to set up but does not let you choose your phone's SD card, which is the whole point of transferring files, only your android storage... okay, I found it, it's hidden under the hamburger menu, it defaults to your android storage... added one more star. Update: Setting the SD card as the mounted folder is ignored, it keeps reverting to the android storage... removed a star.

★☆☆☆☆ Victor Teles · Apr 22, 2026

It used to work, but not anymore. Using an Ubuntu/Debian computer, I get the error: "Unable to access location. Could not connect to 192.169.1.102: no route to host". It briefly worked after many attempts, but then it stopped working again, so I gave up. I also tried to restart everything and double-checked the URL and port, but without any success. All computers and the phone are connected to the same network. I haven't tried with MS Windows though

Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of permissions typical for a networked file-transfer tool, including storage access (READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), network and location permissions, foreground service and notification access, and advertising IDs. A dynamic receiver permission is also declared. This aligns with its FTP server functionality; users should review permissions to understand data usage and ensure they are comfortable with storage and network access in the context of their device and network environment.
