## What is FTP Catcher Mobile?

FTP Catcher turns your iPhone into a portable FTP server using Personal
Hotspot. Your camera connects to your iPhone's hotspot and sends RAW files
directly to the app — no Mac, no laptop, no Wi-Fi network needed.
Just your camera and your phone.

HOW IT WORKS

Enable Personal Hotspot on your iPhone. Open FTP Catcher and tap Start
Server. The app shows your hotspot IP address and port — enter those into
your camera's FTP transfer settings, connect the camera to your iPhone's
hotspot, and shoot. Files transfer automatically in the background and
appear in the built-in Files tab the moment they arrive.

PERFECT FOR LOCATION SHOOTERS

Whether you're on a mountain, in a studio without Wi-Fi, or simply away
from your desk, FTP Catcher gives you a fully self-contained wireless
tethering solution. iPhone and camera. That's it.
