FTP Plugin for Total Commander
Do NOT install if you do not use Total Commander!
This plugin supports connections by FTP and FTPS (secure FTP over SSL). For SFTP (file transfer over SSH secure shell), there is a separate plugin available now:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.tcplugins.SFTP

After update do not work. On existing (old) ftp shortcut stuck on "getting directory" screen. On create new connection after entering a name exit and create only empty shortcut. When click properties on shortcut do nothing I try to clear data and cache and uninstall/install TC and plugin with no success. Tested on android 9, Xiaomi max3. Update! Finally I get it to work!. Problem was in apps permissions. Btw total commander is top for windows but not for android.
▪️Always asks Download+Open with or Download+Edit. Should've kept "don't ask again" option there. ▪️Some files won't even complete download (encountered that prob with other apps as well though) ▪️For videos, it should've played them as link video, not from temporary folder. Because downloading the whole thing requires more time.. There were a few bugs more! & Add the note that it only connecta to ftp server, do not establish one.
Awful. There are so many basic things done badly in the plugin. For example, you can't edit connections. Once you create it, you can either connect to it or delete it. The plugin also fails to read files from the server after some time and I have to reconnect to the FTP.
When I want to copy something from my pc to my phone it asks me if I want to download + open or download + edit and it saves the file in a temporary folder and deletes it right after. I can't figure out how to just copy a file and chose where to save it on my phone
I use this plugin daily as I have an FTP server running on my router with a 3TB HD connecter to it for sharing files between 7 devices. No issues or problems whatsoever. And it's free, so what's not to like.
I love this thing.. i use it for yeas now.. i have a FTP server in my 3 PC's.. and with TotalComander and this Plug-in.. i copy and move files from any folder of my Phone to any folder of my PC's HDD's.. in the most simple and easy way.. is just perfect..
Downloaded Total Command for the umpteenth time, but this time added the FTP Plugin. Hw still no joy. Couldn't get it to work at all. There needs to be some simple instructions to go alongside the app, so that potential users like me can get them to work.
Perfect for my purposes, running on Android 9. For those who don't have the config details popup window on new phones (Android 8+),try: Go to Settings/Manage Apps/TotalCmd-FTP/Other permissions/Start in background, tick. =>Let the plugin start in background. That did the trick for me.
This does not work as billed. Interestingly when I first setup it did. Bought app and never worked after trial period. CS said my equipment wasn't a widely used and they could help. Problem is its the leading piece of equipment on market. So, point is they are no help at support. Wasted my time and money afraid.
Total Commander does not behave nicely on Chromebooks and any files selected will frequently hang when control is passed along to the next program.
I use this plugin daily, and the sftp plugin as well. But recently I found this plugin keep running in the background, as seen in the notification. I have to do "force stop" manually. Please fix it.
Ver. 2.30 works well. New service ver. 2.42 hungs up after stopped when try to reconnect and there is problem to kill it. Downgraded to 2.30. This version was 5star
After kind reply from the maker of the app, the problem was solved, and the ftp configuration works fine! Thanks for the info!
I was 20 years old when I used the software of Christian Ghisler for the first time in my life. It was so much better than any Windows product at that time. I am now 50 and still his software beats any similar product in the market. Respect!
no clear documentation, no clues, no error messages. Does this work at all in 8.1? I doubt it. No idea how to get this working. Where to set up a connection to a server?
I never got it to work. I added all the details and it says offline when connecting. Other clients work just fine.
It doesn't work with FTP servers that are connected to Local Hotspot :/ Edit: ok I am dumb and I incorrectly writted the address, it works now xD
FTP transfer does not preserve file timestamp leaving files on server set to current date/time. Please add this capability. Thanks!
I see notification of connection even if already closed folder with ftp. Need disconnect button when i see this notification (swipe down from top).
I dislike strongly this application. Every opening of File commander is preceded by percictent offer to go paid. I wonder why I cannot uninstall it. If it is part of Sony accompanying software in my Experia Z5 then it should not try to push me to pay for it.
Works well with my windows 8.1 phone. Tested with Windows PCs and android tablets. Highly useful!
Great tool, on previous phone worked perfectly now I am not able to create to configure conection, it's just create unconfigured conection which I am not able to change
This is a great add-on for Total Comander. Easy to install and use. I use it all the time to edit my website. So give it a try.
The configuration window doesn't popup. 3 stars because it worked on my previous phone.
Very good :) One request, ipv6 support like the SMB module got few days ago would be nice :)
Works just perfect! And I have never found a better substitute for everything it can do
Does not work. I can not configure connection because configure window doesnt show up
Extra easy to use and need no interference to install. Dream
To anyone having issues. It started to happen to me too. So I allowed this plugin app to run in the background in power saving options and prayed to God it works and thankfully it has. Maybe try it if you're having the same problem.
