On old phone and iOS it works very well. Thank you ### 3/5 — Try it out you will like it *2021-04-28, version 4.5* Editor does not support straight / neutral / regular quotes; curly / smart quotes only. Breaks PHP. Had to switch to a competitor. It might take some time to get used to how copy and paste works in the editor. Other than these two things it is functional and reliable. ### 3/5 — Very, very good *2014-06-04, version 3.6.4* If there is one thing missing it's the ability to select a downloaded directory and 'open in' another application. This would save time downloading individual audio tracks and opening them in say, vlc - which then organises the tracks back I to a group anyway. Hope that comes or I find a work around, but otherwise this app is extremely useful and secure!! ### 2/5 — Hmmm... *2013-08-25, version 3.6* This seems to work ok for about six files then it stops and crashes. If you have a lot to transfer, look elsewhere. 2 stars. ### 3/5 — Please add multi-select capability *2013-06-02, version 3.5* I just purchased this and in many ways I like the features and interface. Two things I really need are the ability to select and then delete multiple files at once, and in portrait view the ability to hide the local files panel since the remote view on the iPhone is very small. This app has great promise. ### 3/5 — Lots of functionality but crashes *2013-05-10, version 1.6* This app seems well designed but since upgrading to Pro I get frequent crashes when trying to connect to my Mac computers. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2013-03-15, version 1.5.5* This app does exactly what I want it to do. The only thing that stopped me giving 5/5 is I would like it to work through a proxy. ### 4/5 — Nobody *2013-03-10, version 1.5.5* This works great once you get setup. I would prefer the ability to transfer files internally on the iPad without disconnecting from the server, but otherwise it is a god solution to transfer back and forth. ### 4/5 — The one I am keeping *2013-01-27, version 1.5.3* This is the 5th FTP tool that I've tried, and it's the one that I am keeping. Earlier, I've tried iTransfer ($2.99), FTP Client Pro ($1.99), FTP 4U (free), and FTP Ready Lite (free). Some work, some don't, but all had user interfaces that are annoying, inconsistent, confusing and unnecessarily complex. It seems these guys have learned nothing from Apple, which made its name in large part based on the simplicity and elegance of its designs. This app has simple and rational design with just the features that you need -- it's a file transfer program -- you don't need a clock or a theme background! Things that could be improved: (1) the user manual is an atrocity to the English language; and (2) the menu for interacting with the Web server (nice feature!) is confusing. I would suggest something like: Transfer files: 1.Import files from a Web URL 2.Exchange files with a computer on local area network The latter should display a message such as "Open a browser on the other computer and enter this URL: http://10.1.0.xxxx:8080. You may then use the browser to exchange files between the computer and the iPad." BTW, Sometimes files transferred to the local storage are automatically uploaded to the FTP server? Also, "Finished uploading" has no effect. Not clear what closes this web server. ### 4/5 — Great ftp app *2013-01-19, version 1.5.2* I use this to get into my site and edit html. Works great for that with easy login, navigation, and in-app editing. A reviewer complained about passwords - it does allow the saving of passwords, so no issues there. It allows the creation of directories locally, and again; easy navigation, but the addition of remembering specific local directories per ftp account would be nice. Also the ability to drag-drop files around would be handy (in batches would be even better). But overall, very nice app for getting files up/downloaded, previewing, editing, etc. I've tried a couple others - haven't had anything else come close. ### 4/5 — Very nice all-rounder *2012-12-15, version 1.5.2* So far this fits the ticket well, the dual screen view for local and remote is a nifty feature, and the support for remote editing is what you'd want it to be. I had some trouble importing private keys from a file (not recognised as RSA), but I just created a new one inside the app instead. Also allows importing files locally over wifi & browser, very neat. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Excellent *2022-12-02, version 4.5* This program is Gucci, a perfect FTP program. I rarely ever give 5 stars. But it has a lot of great features. Ad free no nonsense program works very well and beyond. Note it was a great 5 star program but I think it no longer works if your os is up to date… ### 1/5 — Was good …once upon a time *2022-10-23, version 4.5* Hasn’t been updated in many years and now just crashes when trying to start the app. Tried reaching out to the developer but no response either. It’s a shame but this seems to be a dead app. ### 1/5 — Can't get it to stop crashing more than 1 second. *2022-04-11, version 4.5* Yea, it's crashing completely every time I try to open it. ### 1/5 — Crashed *2021-12-03, version 4.5* It crashed at once on iOS 15.2 every time when I open it ### 1/5 — Fonctionne mais très lent *2019-04-18, version 4.5* J’ai une connection gigabits et le transfert de 285 megs a prit 30 minutes. J’ai ressortit des boules à mites mon vieux Transmit (discontinué sur IOS) et il fait le même transfert en 30 secondes. Si vous prévoyez faire des gros transferts c’est une application à éviter. ### 1/5 — Not working *2017-07-27, version 4.5* Ironically, the free version works fine. After purchase the pro version, it was disappointed that it didn't work - "connecting" forever. ### 1/5 — Can't Rename Files *2013-04-01, version 1.6* I purchased this app with the impression I'd be able to rename files, particularly images. The app opens image folder, displays thumbnails and that's it. Tap a thumbnail: nothing. No toolbar options for such actions. Now I have to figure how to get the app out of my iPad after paying for it. ### 1/5 — Need fixings Now *2012-06-10, version 1.3* I paid for the app. It is not usable. - Connected via FTP but can't completely change into directory. The waiting circle icon kept spinning. - It seems sftp authenticated but never completed the connection. SCP does not work either. - I tested on both iPad2 64GB, iPhone 4S 64GB, iOS 5.1.1. No joy, I saw same exact issues. Please fix them ASAP! ### 1/5 — Won't connect *2012-06-10, version 1.3* That simple, it just won't connect. ### 2/5 — мучаюсь с кириллицей, проблема на ровном месте((( *2014-09-26, version 3.7* Если бы не кривые кодировки, было бы 5 звёзд! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good so far *2015-09-24, version 4.2* I've only really downloaded this to give it a go and so far so good I'm actually surprised it easily allowed me to open a file from my emails onto this app and allowed me to upload the file to the servers 10/10 ### 5/5 — Excelent app *2015-04-24, version 4.0.1* It is simply working ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2015-02-19, version 4.0* Great app, this is the first time I've ever used FTP and I use it for transferring images and files from my phone to Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black computers running Debian Linux. Setup and operation is very intuitive. ### 5/5 — iFTP Pro *2014-09-14, version 3.7* It is the best I have found. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2013-10-17, version 3.6.3* Best one I've used. Hoping a thumbnail view will be included in future upgrades instead of having to tap the preview button. Otherwise it's fast and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Love it but how do I empty trash?? *2013-08-23, version 3.6* This app is great! I love it and use it all the time. Only problem is that the deleted files go to a trash bin that I cannot get to... (Maybe my ignorance) The app usage just keeps increasing even though there is nothing in my home folder file. Other than that this app is perfect for my needs and does what it says it does!! Great work! ### 5/5 — Great for photos over SFTP *2012-12-31, version 1.5.2* I use this app to send photos from my iPad to my home file server using SFTP. It works great - very easy and intuitive to select photos and queue them up for transfer. I like that it allows me to create the SSH key pair elsewhere and import it into the app. That way I don't have to trust the app's key generation to be robust. The only other app I've found that can come close to this one for my purposes is Files Connect. This app handily wins because of its much better UI, key importing, and proper support of key passphrases. (Files Connect always saves the passphrase, so that anybody who steals my iPhone will have full access to my files.) ### 5/5 — Great app. Does what it's supposed to *2012-06-25, version 1.3* Very useful app. ### 4/5 — Best FTP App yet DEV COME BACK *2019-04-04, version 4.5* I was worried at first as I seen the app hasn’t been updated in a year but this is on par with easyFTP probably one of the best FTP apps buy this if you need to transfer folders not just files!! I’ve been looking forever for something like this on my IPAD Pro ### 4/5 — Does the job *2015-11-30* Does the job but crashes occasionally which is a bit annoying. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
