FTPS Server turns your Windows PC into a secure FTP server for private file sharing. Share photos, videos, and documents with a phone, laptop, or another computer on the same network, without uploading them to a cloud. You choose who can connect, which folder they can open, and whether they can only download files or also change them.
Share files on your network, not through a cloud
Files stay on your PC. The other device connects to this FTP server over your own network, so a copy is not sitting on someone else's storage.
- Move photos, videos, and documents between your PC and a phone, laptop, or another computer.
- Keep personal and work files off third-party cloud storage.
- Use it at home or in an office. The client has to be on the same network (the same Wi-Fi or LAN).
- Start the server in the app and leave it running while the other device copies files.
