FTPManager - FTP, SFTP client

It’s Alr

I’ve used this app a few years ago and it’s worked perfectly, but now it’s asking me to buy the pro version for the FTP features?

You can download files but not upload. I’d give it one star because real FTP can upload, but at least you don’t have to pay for this app to do anything, unlike most other FTP apps.

If you see this download it and use it at all costs. Don’t mind my username it was just for a joke review for a game that I’m not gonna explain.

Let me know when it works and I will give it another try.

I have relied on this app to manage my website since I discovered it. A recent update messed up how you edit an html file. Developer responded quickly and released a fix within a few days. Thanks!

You have to pay to use more than one server

VLC has a better network discovery but otherwise the app’s pretty good. Apple has no nice native photo backup but this app helps me perfectly send my albums 1 by 1 to my NAS. Props! Please add a setting to ignore every error. I’ve currently been awake 22 hours because I need to keep manually pressing ignore. 😫 Edit 9-29-24: I don't know if it's just this app, because I haven't used other FTP apps, but it doesn't seem to do well with large groups of files. Say, like, a folder of 3,000 photos and videos. It tends to skip and upload duplicate files, which is pretty annoying, since it'd be much easier to get the job done right the first time. If this is a known problem, and the creators don't know how to fix it, the best thing would probably be making a remove duplicate function, and one that also checks which files are not in the folder, by comparing the checksums.

App works well, but be careful with updates. This new update broke the text editor, causing it to crash. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes this.

The entire point of an FTP Client is to transfer files. You can’t do that with this app. The Pro App, which alleges to let you upload one you get past that paywall, hasn’t worked for me at all. Got my hosting company involved and they don’t understand what the problem is as they can test everything as clear but I end up with Permission Denied messages (yes, I had the hosting company help me review all permissions to make sure they were as they should be). Hours of troubleshooting frustration to end up nowhere. Save yourself the time, and the $3.
