## What is RetroFTP?

RetroFTP is a retro-styled FTP client for iOS that connects to FTP servers on your local network. Transfer files between your iPhone and any device running an FTP server — including media servers, NAS drives, computers, and more.

FEATURES

• Connect to any FTP server on your local Wi-Fi network
• Browse remote directories with a full-featured file browser
• Download and upload files with real-time progress tracking
• Queue multiple transfers and manage them from one place
• Save connection bookmarks for quick access
• Favorite frequently used directories for one-tap navigation
• Search files within the current directory or recursively
• Create, rename, and delete files and folders remotely
• Share downloaded files directly from the app
• Share files from other apps to RetroFTP for easy uploading
• Sort files by name, size, or date

RETRO DESIGN

Built with a pixel-art aesthetic inspired by classic gaming — neon green and cyan accents, CRT scanline effects, and the Press Start 2P pixel font. A nostalgic look for managing your devices.

PRO UPGRADE

Unlock the full experience with a one-time purchase:
• 4 concurrent transfers (free: 1 at a time)
• Background transfers — switch apps without interrupting downloads
• Remove all banner and interstitial ads
• Unlimited bookmarks and favorites
• Live Activity progress on your Lock Screen

PRIVACY FIRST

All your connection data, bookmarks, and files stay on your device. The free version uses Google AdMob; tracking is requested only with your permission. Anonymous analytics via TelemetryDeck help us improve the app — they cannot identify you.
