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.

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.

Zerschießt bearbeitete Dateien!

Eigentlich eine gute App! Leider werden Dateien nach einer Bearbeitung unbrauchbar. Nachdem ich eine PHP – Datei bearbeitet und wieder hochgeladen hatte, wurde auf dem Browser nichts mehr angezeigt, obwohl ich den richtigen Zeichensatz UTF-8 eingestellt hatte!

Very junky

It’s clear the developer is not an end user of ftp.

Où est la possibilité de choisir le port de la connexion?

Bonjour,

Je ne vois pas la possibilité de choisir le port à utiliser pour la connexion, ai-je raté quelque chose ?

Response from developer

Hi, you can specify the port number after the ftp address, ex: "myftpserver.org:8687" where 8687 is the port number. Contact me on LessIsMoreDevelopment@gmail.com if you have anymore questions.

Useless

It's totally useless. Everything that you know about FTP protocol doesn't exist here, except 1 single feature. This is not a functional app, but rather a NON-FUNCTIONAL DEMO. Shame on you, the developer, for misleading and wasting our time.

Most frustrating app ever.

All, please avoid if you want to keep your sanity. To app dev. Fix your error messages. Having only 1 connection failed error is useless. App needs a better interface to upload and download files. Give me the option again to allow access to all so I can connect to my ftp server. Had to uninstall and reinstall to get this option back. Do you even know how to program??

Не работает на iOS 14

Попытался отредактировать опечатку в html странице, ftp клиент похерил сайт(

Похоже, приложение не обновлялось со времён Стива Джобса

Ошибка или?

Почему то если файл html то заменяет “ «, а если файл pho то заменяет “ на “. Соответственно скрипты перестают работать. Пробовал разные кодировки в настройках ничего не помогает. Что делать непонятно. Так бы купил, но из за этого косяка как то пока не хочется.

Number 1 FTP Client in the Market!!!

Amazing, I use to transfer files to my Android, Jailbroken (CFW) 3DS, and Jailbroken (HenKaKu Ensõ 3.60) PSVita, and it works like a charm, I’m definitely thinking about buying the pro version!

Hi, Thank you for the feedback. Sorry that you think the Lite free version is promoting the Pro version too much. But the Lite version is only seen as a free Lite version of the Pro client. Best Regards, Anders Havn
