DEMO version is what's exactly? Any limitations in Demo version should be clearly stated.
It says could not connect :( what am I supposed to do
A single toggle for activation, a simple space for userpass. Great open source software.
Somehow this app has been turning itself on for no reason lately...!
Open source, intuitive, featureful, beautiful
Nice and simple
Simple and effective. Install and play
Replaces transfer of files by cable. No useless bells and whistles. Great tool. Many thanks to the depelopper.
Nautilus in Debian 7 connects well, via secure FTP, to my Galaxy Note II.
Unfortunately, it does not suport the MDTM command to set the proper modification date/time after copying files to the FTP server. This is essential in order for this program to be compatible with backup and sync utilities. Please consider adding this feature ASAP. Thanks!
Simple. Works. Quick. Using a combination of ES Explorer (on Android), this and FileZilla on PCs, I no longer need any cables to transfer files between my phone, tablet and PC. Awesome. Worthy of donation.
Works great. Upgraded to paid app.
I couldn't get my files transferred from my Galaxy S3 to my PC and still preserve the timestamp using Airdroid (which I needed because my USB phone port stopped working). ...until I found this program. Combined with FileZilla on my PC (set to 'Preserve timestamps of transferred files'), it did just what I wanted! Thanks to the developers. David
A nice concept, however I find that when uploading video files to my phone with this app, the video file in some way becomes corrupted and I am unable to either fast forward through the video or it does not play the entire file. Just as a reference: I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 which for whatever reason it was decided to remove UMS capability, therefore I must use the Kies app that creates an ad-hoc web server that allows me to connect to my phone to transfer files among other things. I noticed that when I started using this FTP software to transfer my files, the video would exhibit the issues I described above. These same videos play fine when using the Kies app to transfer them. I'm not sure why but just a heads up in case anyone else is experiencing the same issue.
Corrupts files during transfer on Galaxy S2. Both mpg and jpg.
But doesn't support resuming uploads in most clients. +1 for open source
Doesn't allow to specify the interface/IP address when wrong.
Can't write access to sdcard even though i choose sdcard as home dir
Used to be an amazing app, but now it turns off when screen is off! States that is no longer able to get an IP address. So have to turn off then back on and make sure the screen stays on.
