Can I transfer files from Android to PC without USB?

Yes. Smart FTP Server starts a local FTP server and optional browser access so devices on the same Wi-Fi or hotspot can connect without a USB cable.

Does Smart FTP Server support FTPS?

Yes. Supported FTP clients can use explicit FTP over TLS, and the app shows certificate details and fingerprint information.

Do I need cloud storage to use Smart FTP Server?

No. Transfers happen locally on the same network, so files do not need to pass through cloud storage.

Built for Android users who need quick local file transfer to PC, laptop, phone, tablet or browser.

Why users install it

A practical file transfer tool, not another cloud account.

FTP server on Android

Start the server and connect from FileZilla, Windows Explorer, Finder-compatible FTP clients or another mobile FTP app on the same network.

Browser file access

Open a local HTTP address from any browser to browse and download files when installing an FTP client is not worth the friction.

FTPS for supported clients

Use explicit FTP over TLS with certificate fingerprint details when your client supports encrypted FTP sessions.

Users and permissions

Create accounts, choose read-only, read/write or admin access, and avoid sharing broad device access with every connection.

QR and copy actions

Share FTP and browser endpoints faster with QR codes and one-tap copy controls from the app home screen.

Made for repeated use

Live status, transfer details, logs and optional boot auto-start make repeated local transfers predictable.
