Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This program allows you to run an ftp server on your android device. This means that any other computer/device can access the files on your android device while the ftp server is running. For example, entering 'ftp://...' in the firefox url bar will allow you to browse the files on your device from a desktop pc or a laptop. By default, the user name and password are both 'ftp', you should change them. You use this user name and password when accessing the server. For power and security reasons, it is recommended that the server be stopped after use. Features: * Complete and efficient FTP Server * Implements advanced FTP features like UTF8, MDTM and MFMT * Implements Bonjour/DNS-SD for easy service discovery * Anonymous login possible (with restricted rights for security) * Configuration of chroot directory possible (default sdcard) * Configuration of port possible (default 8888) * Possible to keep running while screen off * Runs on local network, even when tethering (phone is the access point) * Has public intents to support scripting: - be.ppareit.swiftp.ACTION_START_FTPSERVER - be.ppareit.swiftp.ACTION_STOP_FTPSERVER * Follows Holo interface guidelines, looks good on phone/tablet/tv/... * Uses notification to remind user that the server is running * Easy starting/stopping server from settings FTP Server is open source software released under the GPL v3. Code: https://github.com/ppareit/swiftp Issues: https://github.com/ppareit/swiftp/issues?state=open Current maintainer: khoahung. Initial development: Dave Revell.

Data Cable 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 Data Cable APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is dcfb55dbf1aa88299bc9eaf36827ae50.
