TODO:
Run server as root user (only rooted devices).

How to connect with Ftp server using USB cable:
This can useful when you have USB cable and not network available.
1) On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and set option "USB debugging".
2) Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable.
3) Start adb server. On your PC run command "adb start-server".
adb is a program that you can find on android sdk. Usually you will find it on android-sdkplatform-toolsadb.
4) Forward needed ports from your PC to your phone. On your PC run command "adb forward tcp:2221 tcp:2221"
You will need to repeat this step for all ftp server and passive ports configured in your phone. It will be easier if you use a small range of passive ports.
With this, any connection in your pc to 127.0.0.1:2221 will be forwarded to your phone in port 2221.
5) Run Ftp server in your phone, open settings and in "Network interfaces" select "Loopback (127.0.0.1)" or "All"
6) Start ftp server.
7) In your PC connect your ftp client to ftp://127.0.0.1:2221 (port might be different, it depends on your Ftp Server configuration).
Connections in this mode need to be always started by PC so only passive mode is available when using USB connection.
Permissions needed:
INTERNET
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE
Network permission to enable server to open network communication with ftp clients.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Enables ftp server write received files from ftp clients on sdcard.
WAKE_LOCK

Excellent app. This should be disabled before wifi device get disconnected. Otherwise it may be non responsive and need to be forcibly closed. (Android 7.1.1)

Extremely useful on devices used with a TV set. I used to have to keep copying to USB drives, now, a quick ftp from computer to the box works perfectly. This is especially useful on Ethernet-connected devices. This is a great tool to add to your Android "arsenal"!

Perfect FTP server for moving stuff from phone to/from PC! Simple to setup, then a single button to turn it off or on. Works GREAT! Is well worth whatever I paid for this app. Thank you, Dev.

Can also read+write to external storage like a microsd card (but is limited to it's special app folder). Can also read+write to internal storage.

Its a great program, EXCEPT, it can only read the external micro SD card. The developer needs to specifically ask the OS for permission to write to the external memory. Lacking this ability makes transferring and updating files tedious. Every time I have to FTP the file to the internal storage then use a file manager to transfer the file from internal storage to external storage. This complaint has been reported to the developer in the past but it still hasn't been fixed. I'm running Android 7.1

Root support; A "Log" tab; Some way of using the port 21; Update the app name to "FTP Server Pro". (that last one is really bugging me)

Does exactly what it is supposed to do: expose the phone's file system via FTP. Well worth the little money. SFTP support would be nice, but is negligible for home use.

Have been getting bad speed results in favor to other and free servers and I thought it was the server. Now I see good results from this too. Maybe it's the wifi connectivity in a busy wifi environment. More options and a ftp log window would be welcomed. Would like a more adequate notification icon - running the server 24/7 and the current "power-type" icon is ridiculous and misleading.

Hands down the fastest way to transfer files between phone and PC, and makes you kinda feel like a hacker while doing it. Been using the free version for a long time, and even though the ads are not obtrusive, I felt like the developer deserved my purchase.

Works great, super easy UI IMPORTANT: remember to set transfer mode to binary before copying media files. (This may only be needed if you use the command-line ftp client). Also, with Linux (and maybe other Unix variants) you should give the -p option to use passive mode.

The free version would never complete ftp downloads to my pc. However, I read in a review that others had issues with it completing connections in the free version. I gave the Pro version a try ($.99) and it works great. It's fast as well which is a plus. I highly recommend this paid app. It just does what it's supposed to do.
