Why FTPDroid is the best FTP server for Android? Because it's not YAFS (Yet Another FTP Server) since is a native port to Android of best FTP server around: Pure-FTPd http://www.pureftpd.org
Features:
- Anonymous access

- Active and passive mode
- Multiple files transfers
- UTF-8 support

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?
a: Enable the option 'Lock Wifi'. If your device is running at least Android 2.3.x, you should get full speed transfer even when the screen is off, otherwise enable the option 'Lock screen' too.
q: How can I disable anonymous access?
a: Please follow the instructions in the help (open the menu from the main page of the application).

5 ★ Using over WiFi as very good option to share file of my mobile and from other devices. Anonymous renaming has some problems but that's fine I know where the new folder is created.
1 ★ I just paid for the pro version, but FTPS connection fails with the message: "GnuTLS error -110: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated." I hope the app provides a default (internal) certificate so that the user do not have to make their own to enable FTPS. It requires lots of work.
4 ★ Tried a few and this ticks all the boxes, also fast. However doesn't seem to run on an S7 (rooted or not) - says "Unable to start service (invalid argument)."
1 ★ Not compatible with Android 5+. It's a shame really, bought it some time ago because it was the best FTP server available. I wrote to the developer (it's a relative simple recompile to make compatible), no response.
4 ★ Probably the most decent FTP app I've ever used on Android. Would give 5 stars if not for one important bug: does not work at all if installed on adopted storage due to hard-coded data directory path.
5 ★ Seems like its no longer there, the app is convenient, unlike many other FTP servers for Android, root access works nicely. Will buy a pro primarily for the WiFi whitelist.
1 ★ Not sure why but it simply doesn't start on my S7 Edge. The log simply shows invalid argument. Very disappointed and glad I tried the free version first before wasting more time and money.
3 ★ Only worked once installed on internal storage. If installed by default on SD storage on Android6 it would fail with can't create folder errors which took ages to fix. *install on internal storage only*. Once up you can upload to external storage etc just fine.
5 ★ I wanted a lightweight solution to host a file server when WiFi is not available. With this, I can use mobile hotspot to create a network for my friends to connect to, and then use this app to create the fileshare. All without them needing any special app. Just what I needed - thanks!
5 ★ After trying more or less every single FTP/WiFi file transfer app, I can say that this is, without a doubt, the very best. Great features, even the free version, and it all simply just works (for me). The same cannot be said about many similar apps. Especially the autostarting features are much appreciated, but the custom port, anonymous user, WiFi whitelisting and all such options, in a very clean and simple design, puts this at the very top. The other apps would score a 3/5 at most in comparison.
5 ★ This is a good piece of development. The free version allows one user (Pro unlimited) account(s). Enable read/write access by creating an actual user account, with a password (the anon login allows upload, download, no rename, no edit only). This app provides a fast eficient method for managing files on your Android device, without Rooting, from Mac, PC, or Linux, even other Mobile devices!
5 ★ At last, an FTP Android server "full root access", which allows to delete files on extSdCard under Android 6/Marshmallow ! I had another good one before, but I could only upload/download from/to my PC, not delete (even the ones I had uploaded myself)
4 ★ Very Good FTP Server! ^_^ Its the only one with Root Access (I can go in / and /data) But i have a folder on my android with more than 18000 files. And the FTP Server is only showing 10000 files... Please fix that and i will put 5/5! :) PS: maybe there is a config file? Where?
4 ★ Nice app. Huge Thumbs up! It would be nice if you could add an email feature so that when the program starts at bootup, it can send the Address used via email. This can be handy when you need to connect tour tablet which you left at home.
1 ★ Fail to start service, invalid argument. Android 6.0.1 october update. Before the update it worked
