Fixes and Improvements

Description

From the listing uploaded by “india-market”.

A simple FTP server. Allows to exchange files with other machines over wifi. No more USB cable searching. Runs without root privileges. Is not started when device boots (but can if you wish). Control yourself when the server runs. While it runs it prevents standby to avoid long uploads and downloads to abort (configurable). Transfers can be encrypted by SFTP.

Primitive FTPd 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 Primitive FTPd 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 d1a84067c1d5fa69e265e706eff52602.
