AndFTP review
A free Android client with multi-protocol transfers, synchronization and automation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AndFTP is an Android file manager and transfer client from LYSESOFT for connecting to multiple FTP servers. It suits Android users who need more than basic file transfers, including local and remote browsing, resumable uploads and downloads, folder synchronization, scheduled synchronization and remote permission management. The free application supports FTP, FTPS and SFTP, while the separate Pro unlock adds SCP and several advanced workflow features. Its focus is practical mobile access rather than broad platform coverage, and it has been available since 2008.
The main strength is protocol and transfer coverage within a mobile file manager. AndFTP combines FTP, FTPS, SFTP and SCP support with file and folder creation, deletion and renaming, plus permission management on remote files. Resume support can help continue interrupted transfers instead of restarting them. Third-party transfer intents also allow other Android applications to pass file-transfer tasks to AndFTP, which makes it suitable for workflows that begin outside the client. Users who need scheduled synchronization or repeatable transfer routines can also use custom FTP and SCP commands, depending on the selected plan.
The plan structure keeps the core client accessible while reserving several workflow features for Pro. Free includes FTP, SFTP, FTPS and file-manager features. Pro adds SCP support, folder synchronization, custom commands and settings import. That makes the product a practical choice for Android-focused users who need multi-protocol access and synchronization from a phone or tablet. It is less suitable for teams seeking a desktop client, multi-platform deployment or a broader collaboration environment. Choose AndFTP for mobile server access and folder workflows; choose an alternative when Android-only coverage does not fit the operating environment.
