About FTP Tool - Hotspot FTP Server
Turn your Android device into a fast, secure FTP/FTPS and HTTP file server.
Share files over Wi‑Fi or mobile hotspot—no cables or internet required. Browse and download in any modern web browser, or use your favorite FTP client for full file management.
Highlights
- One‑tap server: Start/stop instantly and keep it running in the background (foreground service).
- Browser‑friendly: Built‑in HTTP web interface for easy browsing and direct downloads (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari).
- FTP + FTPS (SSL/TLS): Secure connections with TLS 1.2/1.3. Supports explicit/implicit modes and certificate management (self‑signed).
- Secure access: Anonymous or username/password, HTTP Basic Auth, and optional Read‑Only mode to prevent changes.
- DDNS support: Use a static hostname (No‑IP, DuckDNS, Dynu, FreeDNS, custom). Automatic IP updates when it changes.
- QR code sharing: Share FTP/FTPS and HTTP URLs (with credentials if you choose) for super‑quick connections.
- Your rules: Choose the shared home directory and customize FTP/SSL/HTTP ports.
- Works anywhere: Wi‑Fi, mobile hotspot, or Ethernet—no internet needed on the local network.
- No root required: Works out of the box on Android 6.0+.
- Multi‑language UI: Localized strings with ongoing improvements.
