From the listing uploaded by “germangothic”.

Read/write any folder, including sdcard, in your android device with this ftp server.

Free version does not allow landscape screen. Features: Use any network interface in your device including: WIFI, Ethernet, Mobile network, USB... Anonymous user (can be disabled). One Ftp user (can be disabled). Name and password can be changed. Home directory can be root directory, Read only mode. Passive and active modes. Show hidden files. Custom home folder. Option to run server as a foreground service. Energy save mode. Languages supported: English, Spanish, Romanian, French, Italian, Hungarian, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Korean, Russian and Catalan. Intents: com.theolivetree.ftpserver.StartFtpServer com.theolivetree.ftpserver.StopFtpServer TODO: Run server as root user (only rooted devices). TLS/SSL support for secure connections. How to connect with Ftp server using USB cable: This can useful when you have USB cable and not network available. 1) On your phone go to Settings->Applications->Development and set option "USB debugging". 2) Connect your phone to your PC using USB cable. 3) Start adb server. On your PC run command "adb start-server". adb is a program that you can find on android sdk. Usually you will find it on android-sdk\platform-tools\adb. 4) Forward needed ports from your PC to your phone. On your PC run command "adb forward tcp:2221 tcp:2221" You will need to repeat this step for all ftp server and passive ports configured in your phone. It will be easier if you use a small range of passive ports. With this, any connection in your pc to 127.0.0.1:2221 will be forwarded to your phone in port 2221. 5) Run Ftp server in your phone, open settings and in "Network interfaces" select "Loopback (127.0.0.1)" or "All" 6) Start ftp server. 7) In your PC connect your ftp client to ftp://127.0.0.1:2221 (port might be different, it depends on your Ftp Server configuration). Connections in this mode need to be always started by PC so only passive mode is available when using USB connection. Permissions needed: INTERNET ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE ACCESS_WIFI_STATE Network permission to enable server to open network communication with ftp clients. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Enables ftp server write received files from ftp clients on sdcard. WAKE_LOCK Keeps phone wake only while server is running. If phone is not wake connections to ftp server can fail. Libraries used by this program: Apache ftp server v1.0.6. Apache2 License. Android viewflow pakerfeldt (01/Nov/2011).

Ftp Server APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Ftp Server APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 3f5958d7eefdfef8cd4c4978676a59fa.
