The benefits of using this application are:

• Active and passive mode
• Multiple files transfers
• UTF-8 support
• Root support to allow binding on standard FTP port 21 (please note that root is supported but NOT required)

FAQs:

• q: How can I share files with another device?
  a: Look for an FTP client (every system like Android, iOS and Windows Phone has its own).
• q: Why my transfer speed decrease when I turn off the screen?

Hi, thanks for your help
I modified the second post with the instructions for making a new translation, if you have any question write me a pm.
Thanks again !

Installed the server, launched it says "ready" with ip address, but inserting this address in any ftp client it isn't reachable. It's limited to wifi? i'm in 3G.

Yes with wifi it work, but wifi for me means home and the utility of this apps decrease....;)

Thanks you berserker for the post, I've already bought the paid version.

A question: I like like the possibility to start at boot, always run in the background and activate itself only when on wi-fi (at work and at home).
But I keep getting notifications (in the notification bar and toasts) which kind of annoy me.
Could you add a "silent mode", always run in the background without notification (if I have a problem with the app I could open the interface and see whats going on, if tis active or not)?
Or could you at least add an option to hide it from the notification bar? I know that the android system could stop it automatically if it doesn't reside in the notification bar but :
- I like to have only notifications in that bar, the more apps use that space the less useful it becomes
- on latest devices we have at least 512MB RAM so apps closed by the garbage collector is not a real issue (I run WidgetLocker without the notification and it was "garbaged" only 3-4 times in 6 months)

Thanks again for the app, even with the small issue above is still the best Android ftp server (and I say this after testing almost all of them)

Hi, I didn't add the option to disable the notification exactly because of what you wrote:

Btw I can easily add it for the next release since you know what you are doing (maybe with an alert for other users).
Thanks for your suggestions!
