★☆☆☆☆Divine Bhajans· Jun 7, 2026
This app everything is ok but speed very slow because of which I am giving one-star nobody has so much time to waste to upload 10 GB file for 2 hours it took 2 hours to upload my photos videos to my laptop from my mobile this is not done either the developer has slowed the speed or if it is bad behavior of file transfer through ftp this is not done if I connect with wire it will take just few seconds to upload 10 GB file to and fro mobile to hard disk and vice versa. This is not done.🥺

It has a bug. When I try to access it from the PC it says it's read only. We update the app to ensure bugs get fixed, if your testers are unable to find all bugs then hire me, I have 4 years of extensive experience in software testing, both in manual and automation testing.

Not working. After connecting my laptop to phone Wi-Fi, starting up the app and input on the address into my computer as requested, my computer still say that "The server name and address could not be resolved"

Technologies used by WiFi FTP Server
WiFi FTP Server is requesting 16 permissions and is using 24 libraries.
Show details
Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of permissions typical for a file-transfer server (network access, wifi state, internet, storage, and foreground service) and declares a dynamic receiver not exported. It may also request ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, which could raise privacy questions unless clearly justified by functionality. Overall, permissions align with its FTP server capabilities and storage access needs.
Each subscription will automatically renew 3 days before the expiration date for
the same time period. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the renewal.
