Hi @berserker_devel,
long time user of paid FTPDroid here.
I am wondering whether you plan any more updates to the app in future?
Last update is (at least on play store) from end of 2015.
Usually the app works quite well, however on an Android TV box I have trouble with the autostart. And I would like to help troubleshoot and fix that if possible.
Many thanks
Andi
Excellent FTP sever app for nougat devices
May of 2017
I have a couple android devices, a kenzo (xiaomi redmi note 3 pro) and klimtlte (Samsung Galaxy tab s). Both have got nougat 7.1.2 (lineage os).
On previous android (marshmallow 6.0.xxx) almost all ftp server apps work ok, full access to any storages attached (root access, internal storage, ext SD card, usb flash drive, external hdd) no problem.
With nougat, i only found two ftp server apps that really work (this FTPDroid and another one) . Before i found these two apps, it was extremely frustrating to have a system like in the marshmallow days.. , i almost revert back to MM . No ftp server app with root access, some of them only give access to internal storage, or only external sd card, none of them gives access to usb storage device.
ftp server is very important to me, with external hdd, it's kinda like having a wireless hdd, very convenient setup.
Between those two ftp server apps, this one - FTPDroid - is really the better one, easier setup, somehow faster accessing folders and files, down to root..
Probably because this is a newer one (last update August 2015), better suited to newer Android version. It works perfectly on both of my android devices.
Anyway, thank you very much dev, for this awesome ftp server app..

Same problem with same phone, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Any help would be appreciated.
Mr Wolf did you find a solution? (Has been 10 months since your post but no replies.) Thank you.

File download fail
FTPDroid isn't working well.
Main problem is that the download of files from FTPDroid running on smartphone, frequently results in partial downloaded files only. And it is strange, that the download fails always on the same byte of file.
Testet on Galaxy S7, Lg G6, Xiaomi Mi5s with filezilla. For downloading I have used filezilla and a self-writen Software (Lazarus & Synapse and/or Delphi 10.1 and Indy 10).
Similar FTP Server Software for Android Smartphones are working fine (Wifi FTP Server, FTPServer...), but on this FTPServers ist is'nt possible to activate some options

@berserker_devel, could you please upgrade your great app for Android 10? As for now. FTPDroid is the only FTP server working on Android 10. But when installing it, the system says it's built for an old Android version, and while working the app's screen is dimmed. But everything seems to be working fine, though the dimmed screen is very inconvenient.
It looks like all of berserker_devel's apps, including ftpdroid, have been removed from Google Play
I'm not asking for APKs, I still have backup, just for information

2Troubleshooting Help
I recently got the update to lollipop on my htc one m8, and the app stopped working. It wasn't auto starting, and when I pressed start the text on screen would flash quickly, and the status would never change from stopped. I uninstalled the ftpdroid app, and re-installed and now the app says the server is running, but I'm not able to connect with a client. I've tried windows, my backup client (syncback), and filezilla. None appear to get any response from my phone and ftpdroid never shows anything in the log. I have the unlocked pro version of ftpdroid, and have signed up to the beta channel but still no luck. Any ideas to help troubleshoot? I am not rooted. Is this a known issue? The new OS has only been available for a couple weeks on the HTC.

SCRATCH THAT! After seeing reviews from people with my same device on the app that seem to have no problems. I uninstalled the app, and the unlocker app. Reinstalled both apps, rebooted phone, and it's working now! Anyone having issues after a lollipop upgrade should do the same.

Write access to the SD card has been an OS limitation up until Lollipop. The "enable root (if available)" option is disabled for me too, but my phone is not rooted, so that is expected. Is your phone rooted? If you have the paid version and your phone is rooted, than you may actually have a valid problem, but it appears to me that you need a rooted phone to be able to use the enable root option. Hopefully the developer will integrate the SD card write access features made available in Lollipop soon so even those of us without root access will be able to write to our SD cards via FTP server again. I'm assuming you have a special requirement for the FTP functionality, but if you're just trying to copy a file to your phone via wifi, write access to SD is integrated into ES file explorer already, and you can copy from an ftp server or other network location to your SD card manually in the meantime.1
Hi, thanks for your helpBest FTP-server app. I can help with translation into Russian and Ukrainian.
I modified the second post with the instructions for making a new translation, if you have any question write me a pm.
Thanks again !1
