About

FTP One

Read full description

FTP One sends photos and files from iPhone, iPad and Mac to the FTP/FTPS servers and cloud accounts you work with: agencies, newsrooms, clients, your NAS. It is made for photographers and newsrooms who need to deliver quickly. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Several destinations in one send Send the same files to several servers and cloud accounts at the same time. Save the destination profiles you use often and repeat your last choice with one tap. • FTP and FTPS FTP and FTPS (implicit TLS) connections, with server certificate verification. For a self-signed certificate, such as a NAS's, the app asks you once whether to trust it and then remembers. • Cloud accounts Dropbox, Google Drive, WebDAV (Nextcloud, ownCloud, NAS), Amazon S3 and S3-compatible services (Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2 and others), iCloud Drive. • Send from Photos and Files Select photos in Photos or files in Files and choose Share > FTP One. The upload starts as soon as you open FTP One or tap the notification (up to 300 photos at a time). • Import from your camera On iPhone and iPad, connect your camera or an SD card reader via USB: the app shows only the new photos. • Transfers panel Queue, pause, resume and cancel (cancelling also removes the partial file from the server). Failed files can be retried. • When you leave the app iOS does not let FTP transfers keep running for long in the background. During uploads you can keep the screen on (option) and, on iPhone, follow progress on the Lock Screen (Live Activity). If iOS stops the transfer, the queue resumes by itself when you return to the app. The interrupted file starts again from the beginning, so it never arrives damaged. • Security Server passwords and cloud account tokens are stored in the iOS/macOS Keychain, not in the app's preferences. You can turn on an app lock with Face ID or Touch ID. PRIVACY • No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party SDKs. • No FTP One account needed. The developer has no servers that receive your data: the app connects only to the servers and cloud accounts you set up, and to Apple for purchases. • Free plan counters stay on your device. • Diagnostic logs (without passwords or tokens) stay on your device. They are sent only if you tap "Send feedback to support", which opens a pre-filled email you can edit before sending. PLANS Free: all features (servers, cloud accounts, several destinations, sending from Photos and Files, camera import) for up to 100 files per month (no more than 10 per day and 50 per week). FTP One Pro: no file limits. • Pro Monthly: €1.99 per month • Pro Yearly: €12.00 per year • Pro Lifetime: €35.00, one-time purchase, no renewal Monthly and Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions, with a 14-day free trial for first-time subscribers. Prices are in euros; the App Store shows the price for your country. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase or, with the free trial, when the trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Purchases can be restored from the FTP One Pro screen.
