🎚️

PRO

Bandwidth Limits

Throttle upload and download speed individually per server. KB/s or MB/s. Ideal for mobile connections, shared bandwidth or AWS egress cost control.

AES-256 export of all servers for safe migration to a new device. Password-protected, no cloud required.

📱

Reliability

Auto-Reconnect & Resume

🖥️

Local Server

Local FTP Server

Turns your Android device into an FTP server. Other devices on your Wi-Fi can access your files directly — perfect for quick file transfer.

Protocols

Three protocols.
One app.

Connect to any server — regardless of protocol.

FTP

SFTP

SSH File Transfer Protocol

Game-Changer

Server↔Server Transfer.

The feature other apps don't have.

Transfer files directly from server to server — without downloading them to your device. Cross-protocol: FTP to SFTP, FTPS to FTP, any combination. v3 adds Folder Compare on top: see exactly what differs and sync selectively. No other mobile FTP client on Android offers this.

FTP ↔ FTP, FTPS, SFTP
No local storage needed
Cross-protocol transfers
Folder Compare included

⚠ Tip: Use over Wi-Fi — data flows through your connection as a stream proxy.
