Yes a lightweight FTP client

Bit unusual as to how it works as it does not seem to show you your local files but your downloads from remote ftp site go into a cache of sorts which you can see from within the app but I can't see them (or finding them in search) from Apple Files app.

However you can tap and select a file (big pale arrow) and then use the more normal Apple Share (box with arrow) to then email or Save to local or iCloud.

Odd but works and maybe feels a bit more normal to apple only users rather than it does to me.

Very basic app not even updated and maintained

This app is older than iPadOS 15

Won’t connect to sftp server

Failed to connect with no explanation. Another app worked fine with the same credentials. Uninstalling.

Do NOT use to edit code files!

The text editor for this app will convert all your quotes to smart quotes. So, don’t use it to edit any code files or it’ll hose them!

I got a developer response telling me to disable smart quotes system wide to fix the issue. That is not a solution when other FTP apps, that I now use, do not have this issue. The app shouldn’t allow smart quotes, it shouldn’t matter what my system wide settings are.

Too awkward to use.

Connects ok, but when using to upload photos to an Eframe you have to browse to the folder depth one at a time, select a single photo, upload that, then browse back again, select another etc. There is no select-all anywhere. Forget it, would take years to do anything useful.

Response from developer

Hi, Both select multiple and select all is possible with the checkmarks on the right side. Please contact me on LessIsMoreDevelopment@gmail.com so I can help you. Best Regards, Anders Havn
