App Features
-
Flexible Network Support: Fires up an FTP server over any network your phone uses—WiFi, Ethernet, or even via tethering. No need to worry about getting stuck on one connection type.
-
Multiple User Accounts: You can create multiple FTP users, including anonymous users, and pick what each person gets access to. Tweak settings so some users can see hidden files, while others can’t.
-
Custom Access Paths: Assign different folders or locations for each user—internal storage, SD cards, whatever you need. Plus, you decide who gets read-only or full access.
-
Simultaneous Connections: Handles multiple file transfers at once. Great for multitasking, or when more than one person needs files at the same time.
-
Remote Access Made Simple: The app can open ports on your router automatically, so you can reach your files from anywhere you have Internet. No tech degree required.
-
Automatic Start Options: Want the server up only when you’re on your home WiFi, or every time your device boots up? Configure it and forget it—the app can launch itself when those triggers happen.
-
Tasker Support and Scripting: For the automation fans, it’s easy to tie FTP Server – Multiple users into Tasker workflows using intents. Start, stop, or change settings on the fly.
-
Easy Client Compatibility: Use whatever FTP client you like—Windows Explorer, FileZilla, Finder on Mac, Linux file managers, Total Commander on Android, you name it. Even popular browsers can get you in for quick, read-only access.
-
Permission Controls: The app requires certain permissions to function, like storage and network access. You’ll also need location permission if you auto-start the server on WiFi (especially on newer versions of Android).
-
Ad-Free Upgrade: While all features come standard for free, those who want a cleaner experience can easily remove ads from the app’s About screen.
You can also run FTP Server – Multiple users on your PC with BlueStacks if that fits your setup or workflow better.
