The server is completely implemented in the app itself, it does not use an external library. It provides the best possible performance on Android to run. Some advanced features like UTF8, MDTM, and MFMT are implemented, though the underlying file system must support them.

The Bonjour/DNS-SD support is very handy if the client OS and its file manager also support the protocols. In this way, the moment you start the FTP server on the Android device, you will find it on the network folder of your desktop.

A lot of users asked if it was possible to automatically start the server when the Android device was running. It was found that it was more useful to automatically start the server when connected to certain wifi networks. This has the same effect and is very handy, for instance when you arrive home, start your FTP server. Support for Tasker or Locale was added for those who like to script some use cases for their device.

Logical settings are available, like you can, for instance, set anonymous login and configure chroot and port. A minor group of users have some special use cases, such as running the server while tethering or running the server from the ethernet cable. All those are possible, and more improvements are welcomed.

The design follows the official guidelines. You can be sure that the interface and the logos look good on your device. Control the server using notifications or widgets where needed.

FTP Server is open-source software released under the GPL v3.
