[Q] Can't connect to the desktop version, but working on website - AirDroid

Hi everyone !
I'm glad that you've developped a desktop version of AirDroid
So I wanted to try it (using a MAC) but I can't connect with my login... (you can't see the screenshot attached)
Though, it perfectly works when I try to connect to the AirDroid website :/
Any idea why it doesn't work ?
Thanks for helping !

Same here but I'm getting an actual error message "Failed to sign in.(-21000)". Would love some help as well.
Info:
Airdroid Version - 0.1.5.2
Mac OS X Version - 10.9.4

Case closed : an update of the client fixed it

I was getting Failed to connect to the server (-21000) on the Windows client (up to date), but disabling my corporate firewall allowed it to work. I tried tracking the ports it used so I could just whitelist those, but it seemed to jump around a lot (also I wasn't sure which traffic was from AirDroid and what was from other stuff on my computer). Would love the developers to publish those ports for us.

Yes me too, please official support could you publish the ports to open on firewall?

Firewall Rules
If you are getting error 21000 or 26000 you must allow the following outgoing tcp connections in your firewall (including port!):
- ec2-54-227-249-159.compute-1.amazonaws.com:6969
- push.airdroid.com:8098

arghh....
so much for getting this working at work...

Got the same problem - I cannot login, neither with login/password and Google account. I've got Eset firewall, but whether I turn firewall and protection on and off, I get the same error: -10011. I cannot find any information about it on support site and Google. Any ideas?

I've just found out about AirDroid and what a fantastic feature is this! I'm really delighted even with just the idea
To add a feedback; I can cannot via the desktop program if I'm on the same network. But I cannot connect via program (in fact, I can connect but mirroring doesn't work) if my phone is on another network.

Remote desktop client

Hello guys,
i'm looking for a decent RDP client.
I have tried the WM6 RDP from finster869 but i can't connect to any server.
I have tried also the ms_rdp_v6.5.cab downloaded somewhere in this forum: this one works but once switched to full screen i loose the keyboard and i can't digit anything.
I don't understand why Toshiba has not delivered a such important app
It's ridiculous, I've tried finster but it just doesn't work. The only one that works for me is MochaVnc as the viewer on my phone and I use ultraVnc on my desktop as the server, but I think at the moment, I've only been able to get it running over wifi. If someone manages over 3G, please please let me know.
But I haven't got a clue why finster doesn't work. Wanted to try it out .

If I'm not wrong, This kind of software only works in a intranet , so only WIFI is available as wireless connection (no 3G possibility)
I use VNC server (on PC as Mobile). If any interested I can link the apps.
the ms_rdp_v6.5.cab works on 3G too. The problem is that full screen mode hides the keyboard.

Any steps to get it working?
It works on 3G to? Compared to what other software do you mean? I've tried the microsoft one and the finster, but just never connects, even in wifi mode. I find it completely useless. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I'm going to holiday in a few days so would love to get this working on 3G
I have tried the free RDP client zaDesktop 0.98b: same problem of Microsoft RDP.
It connects perfectly to the servers using the 3G/HSPA connection but when the application goes full-screen, the keyboard icon goes away.
have you tried Remote Touch? It is very simple ... you can try it with wlan very quick ... it just takes 5 minutes to download, installing and testing. If you want to control your PC via 3G you just need an no-ip Account for an DNS address.

I cannot install 3rd party unauthorized services on the business servers. RDP is the official method to remote access the servers.
I have choose a Windows mobile device because of this; i could not image that RDP on TG01 was such a pain.
I can't correctly access a Microsoft server platform with a Microsoft OS phone and a Microsoft application and probabily i will have to use 3rd party software to resolve the problem. In fact, i am going to try RDM+: a commercial software, availiable for WM and many other platforms included Android and iphone.
What a big defeat for Microsoft (and Toshiba too).
RDP worked for me
For me RDP works without any problem. I use Nokser's newest build from 30.05.2010. I think it is a Version of Finster pre-installed.

Here you are: VNC® Server Free Edition 4.1 for Windows
The ZIP is the VCN server,to be installed in your PC
The cab is the VCN viewer, to be installed in your TG01
On viewer, you have to write the IP and port in this way (example): Server: 192.168.1.11:5901

Help! Exchange connection only through office WiFi!

Anybody could please give me an advice about this strange issue we have with Android in our company recently?
Our configuration for Exchange worked for months perfectly on our Galaxy Tab and then on Galaxy Note with the new Exchange 2010 server and very recently probably the company IT installed a service pack or restricted the security policies.
The crazy result is that the standard mail client for Exchange on Galaxy Note (the same on the Tab) can connect and sync only if connected with the company WiFi
When connected through 3G or public WiFi they cannot connect to the Exchange server anymore! "Impossible to connect to the server" is the temporary message displayed by the device.
I tryed using the Aventail Connect client for Android (trying to simulate to be connected to the company network) but it doesn't work anyway
Connecting in the office makes the Exchange connection and sync (mail, calendar, contacts) working again!
I cannot ask our IT Department because in our company Android is not yet officially accepted neither supported and being a large company they could not make any exception and they would not listen to me, worst would claim to HR I'm not compliant with the company policies!!!!
Any advice?? Many thanks!
Best way is to befriend an IT person at your company & bribe them. That's what I tell to new hires when I'm introduced as their local IT support. While this doesn't fix your issue but it will be very helpful down the road.

My friend, these are wise words!
At the same time the HQ of our company is in the U.S. (with very rigid policies) and I am in Italy with difficulties in dealing in person with them... so I'm afraid that without a good hint from some guys here I cannot sort out my issue!
I can't search xda just now but in the SGSII forum there is an email app with exchange security disabled
You could try installing it. Hopefully it will display correctly on the Note.
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I have try it it works good, only some box and txt a little smaller on some place and not the "extended" landscape view that the note has, but works good. (also with the email widget)

Thanks nobnut and jayGGjay for your advice.
I don't think this could be my solution, simply because
1) to me is the access to the Exchange server that is not working, instead the modified client has "simply" the ability to skip the pin request, a typical client implication, not server wise
2) calendar and contacts are impacted by the same issue: they are not synchronized if I'm not on the local company WiFi! So even if I would sort out the mail, I would not be in sync with the rest of the Exchange resources
Basically the fact that all the Exchange/Outlook suite does not work makes me understand that this is not a matter of the mail.apk! Under the company WiFi all the suite is working perfectly, so I guess it's something related to the Exchange common access.
If it would be simple to try the alternative mail.apk I would give anyway a try, but it's complex and I'm not sure it's clear to me how to revert the patch if it is not working at 90% probabilities, ad I described above
Nobody knows Aventail Connect or NextExtender? I guess my solution would be there, having the stock mail.apk (and the rest of the suite) working under a VPN, so that Exchange server feels as it is working under the company WiFi
But, as I sayed, I cannot have NetExtender connected nor having mail.apk working through Aventail Connect (that works, "per se")

I have read and read again the thread and apparently it says this patch override all the security limitations vs Exchange, so it might make sense having a check, even if unfortunately the application seems to not become identical in terms of user interface....
anyway, if I would like to check it, does it mean that:
1) the patch has to be executed on a windows pc having the rooted Galaxy Note connected to it?
2) I guess the "restore.backup.cmd" should be one to revert the patch if not working, correct?
3) what the "QR Code" function is? Is that for a sort of signature to be created? If so, how should I apply that?
Sorry for the trivial questions, but I have not experiences in applying patches!
OK, some feedback
The patch itself did not work on my pc ( I am root and the patch give error "whoami suid 0") or somethings, so I have done it by hands (smali,Notepad++ basmali, and replace de classes.dex file) BUT IT DOES NOT WORKS with the note apk for some reason (have apply the 2 methods of security patch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14577188#post14577188
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185749
The only time it has been working was if I replace my email.apk with this one from SGSII:
"Email.apk-SGS2-v2.3.5.exchange-policy-patch.zip"
Have a look for it.
But I seems that with the standard apk:
- even when configure in IMAP some policies still apply so no GO with some exchange server
- Your company (if no other imap client like thunderbird), has closed outside access to IMAP (only when you are connacted in the LAN or WIFI, it could works).
So 1st things is to know if imap works outside with some IMAP client wihout VPN, else no way it will works for your note wihout a VPN.
BTW: QR code is just a code that our phone can "capture/read" with info inside (a url or some contacts infos or such) in this case probably a DL link , You can read it with barcode scanner or shopsavvy or such free from market, so once you have one QR code reader in your phone you can just point it to the QRCode (your screen) and dl/open the link directly in your mobile (no need to send or connect a cable to transfert the apk in your phone)
EDIT: The patch 1.1 is workings but the is still missing stuff because even if it apply correctly now I still does not have my exchange server serving any email even in IMAP so .... The only way for now is to use the "Email.apk-SGS2-v2.3.5.exchange-policy-patch.zip"

Thanks a lot for tests and your feedbacks!
Should I have a try with this version of the apk on my Note, what would be the process to install it? Should I use CWM? I have not yet installed it but I might do that, having rooted the phone and installed Mobile Odin, so I may have CWM
But sorry, I never used CWM to flash an apk part of the system!
And what about the reverse to the stock version if this doesn't work? Should I flash again all the stock firmware to get back a "clean" installation or could I back-up the official mail.apk and re-install it if this doesn't work in my case?
Last but not least, if you have tryed it on a Galaxy Note: how different is in terms of graphics and user interface this SGS2 version of the mail apk?
MANY THANKS!!
In addition to the tests on the the mail.apk, is anybody here expert about VPN in order to try with Aventail Connect or NetExtender to bypass the problem and so simulate the office WiFi environment?
As I said Aventail client connects with my company server but the mail doesn't pass thorugh it (how to correlate the two applications??) and NetExtender cannot connect
Any experience here?? Many thanks!
So 1st things is to know is, if IMAP clients (like Tunderbird or Outlook or such from your computer at home for ex.) works outside without VPN, else no way it will works for your note without a VPN once you are outside your Office WIFI. (Your office have probably block outside access to the server)
For the SGS II email.apk, not sure which thread it was ... Find it a few weeks ago here on xda.
But I have attach it here some you and other can use it/have a look if needed.
To install, here are just 2 ways to do it :
A) use a soft like RootExplorer or Root Browser (free and from an xda user) to:
1. go to /system/app/ and mount r/w
2. Backup Email.apk - Rename it to Email.apkBAK
3. Copy the Email.apk attached to the /system/app
4. VERIFY PERMISSIONS (DUPLICATE THE SAME AS ORIGINAL)
5. Mount system r/o
OPTIONNAL DEPEND ON WICH KIND OF APK REPLACE
6. Reboot and clear cache
7. Clear Dalvik-cache in case 6. was not enough
If any thing happens or you want to you can rename to SGS Email.apk to Email.apkSGS and put back your original Email.apkBak to Email.apk
B) with adb through a shell with command line and usb mode debug enable from your computer .... But if you have to ask your are better with A)
Good luck

Well the strange thing is that using an i-Phone/i-Pad or my old Windows Mobile 6.5 we can still access the Exchange Server outside the office net! Both of them use the Activesync protocol.
I don't understand why you talk of IMAP client, because Outlook does not use IMAP with Exchange, as far as I know, and instead uses a Microsoft proprietary protocol.
From a mobile device, the protocol used is Activesync, quite different by IMAP and strange thing is that, I repeat, the i-OS and Windows Mobile versions are working perfectly also outside the office WiFi.
So apparently Android does not implement the same type of Activesync security profile that i-OS implements. My bypass (to avoid to change the mail.apk) was to use a VPN, but I couldn't take to work properly the ones I tested, mentioned above (Aventail Connect and NetExtender). Don't you know how to configure those? If we knew, I guess I could avoid changing the mail.apk
OK, you can connect to exchange server a few different ways, ActiveSync or IMAP ... , here the issue, with exchange with both IMAP or ActiveSync, exchange enforce security policies from your devices. Android has been at first a bite behind with those proprietary things of MS (that why IT did not "support" officially android for email at first). In recent device/android wanting to be able to say they are corporate phone, they have enforce and verify if your devices comply (for ex.: it will only works outside if your device as a PIN/Password unlock compliant with your password security from what they have enforce, and/or if they can remotly wipe the device or such).
And if Win Mobile and I-OS (works now, at one time it wasn't), if for Win it is a windows product so if their proprietary Win could not handle their proprietary exchange protocole and things .... Anyway try the SGS II apk posted and see if it works first. My old exchange 2003 server that is only open for outside access without VPN for IMAP is also enforcing thoses security (with my other/old android Motora Milestone is was OK with Note stock KO)
BTW: Outlook can connect to email server through Exchange, IMAP or POP - just like our phone (depending what have been enable/open in the server side)

[APP] X-Link - Zero Setup File Transfer

The app I would like to present is called X-Link and is intended to make file transfers between devices (Android or PC) easy.
It's using multicasts to find other clients within the same WiFi network.
So no setup ist needed.
In addition to the Android app there is also a Java based PC client available.
This client has been tested on Linux and Windows but might work on other configurations.
The full description and a short video can be found on the Android Market page:
https://market.android.com/details?id=de.fun2code.android.xlink
You can not only transfer files between PC and Android but also between Android devices.
This is beta software, so there are still bugs.
Please report them in this thread. I'll have a look as soon as I find time and will contact some of you to get things fixed.
There are surely some timing (and timeout) problems which need some attention.
Make sure your router supports multicasts.
Please post comments, I'll try to read them all
Link to PC client
http://www.fun2code.de/downloads/xlink/XLinkClient.jar
Copying of directories
Supported since 0.8.4 beta.
Testing and how you can help
Multicast test
To test if your network is able to deal with multicast messages you can do the following test:
1. Download the file MulticastSender.jar and MulticastReceiver.jar.
2. On one PC start the MulticastSender.jar and on another the MulticastReceiver.jar.
The sender sends screenshots. If you see the screenshots on the receiver's side, multicasts are working for you.
If not, X-Link will not work.
If this works but X-Link doesn't it's likely that there is a problem concerning timeouts within X-Link.
In this case, please send me a mail (xlink [at] fun2code.de).
If sharing on Android does not work
Sharing does not seem to be working in some apps.
If you encounter such a problem, please download the app XLinkDebug.apk and install it.
Use sharing as you normally would with X-Link but select X-Link Debug instead.
On execution the app will copy the information needed for me to fix the issue to the clipboard.
Please paste the clipboard into a mail ans send it to the following address: xlink [at] fun2code.de

Was your phone on a WiFi network?
obviously, yes it is
The devices have to be connected to the same WiFi network and the network has to support multicasts (which usually should be the case).
If you are on a weak WiFi signal it might take more than one try to find other devices.
My test devices are:
Galaxy Nexus, Nexus One and Notion Ink Adam
i really do not have knowledge about the Multicast thing, but my Wifi Signal is good. And i used SAMBA and other wifi file sharing apps and they all worked using the same wifi.
And clicked RELOAD many times but i cant see any device in the popdown menu..
Hm ... so this seems not to work on your network
Multicast is different from TCP connections, so this can't be compared.
Wow, it actually worked in HTC Desire!! Great app!! Now I can transfer files w/o any cables!! Need sometime to allow 2 devices to connect though..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I don't know anything about Multicast, but my Mac is on the same Wifi network as my Galaxy Nexus, and the Mac couldn't see the Nexus. I tried "Reload" several times.
Works on Windows 7 64-bit and a Galaxy Nexus. Cool app, really like it!
My only suggestions would either be to get rid of the menu and put it all in the "drag file here" area, or maybe some slightly simpler graphics. They come off a little cheesy.
Other than that, it works well.
Next steps would be to keep app closed, but still have access to dropping files. Root access? I'm not sure how it would work.
App and client work seamlessly with windows 7 and tmo sgsII.
Only thing I notice is inability to share pics directly from my phone's gallery. I use my file explorer and it works fine.
Amazing work. Coffee money on the way
So this is like airdroid but rather than the file browser/tools being built into the web address there's a desktop client?

Hello There,
Using Windows8, DHD and TF101. My PC had no problem seeing the items on my network Alas, every time I tried to swap a file over I just kept getting a pop message telling me there was an upload error. Thanks.
Pity because it was something I had been looking for :-(
Worked perfectly on Macbook running Lion and galaxy nexus
awesome app!
amazing app and super simple to use/set up, great stuff dude =D

Make sure you have x-link at the front of your screen (on your phone) seems it disappears after being inactive and you'll get the upload error problem. I am of course speaking from experience as I just fought with that, bringing x-link back to the front seemed to solve it.
Thanks to all of you for testing!
The X-Link app has to be active on the Android device to be visible to others and for the transfer to work.
If you close the app during data transfer, the transfer will break.
I'm glad that it worked for some of you. I'll do some debugging next week.
Hope things will improve...
For does of you having problems seeing other devices.
You can do the following test.
Run the PC client from console: java -jar XLinkClient.jar
Then try to detect you PC from the Android device.
You should see an output similar to this on the console:
Connecting: 192.168.0.198/4500
If an Exception occurs there was a problem when connecting back to the Android device.
If no output is visible, it's likely that multicasts are not working within your network.
Might help newer users who want to try out your app if you put a download link on your web site or here in this thread. I found your app through xda article and didn't realize that I had to type the link out verbatim with 'XLinkClient.jar' having correct capitalization lol. Took me a minute to figure out, so newer people might just give up without trying it. Just fyi ;-)
Great app, thanks for your work! Working on Mac running Lion and Droid 3.
Working great on Windows 8 Consumer preview and LG Optimus 2X. If i had a job right now, i would send you money for a beer, but i dont have a job at the moment, so a cant. Thanks.

[APP] ClipSync: easiest way to copy paste text between devices.

I noticed there are some questions on this forum that relate to copying text between phones and PC's.
I'm an independent developer and have written a free app that does just that. It runs as a service on both windows and android. It works over LAN. And it allows you to do 2 things:
1. You can copy text from android to your PC by simply copying some text in android (Long press -> copy) and then pasting it in Windows (CTRL+V or right click -> paste)
2. You can copy text from PC to android by simply copying some text in Windows (CTRL+C or right click -> copy) and then pasting it in Android (long press -> paste)
It's really that simple. Here's a quick demonstration of me showing you how it works:
Wondering why you would need this?
Have you ever wanted to copy paste a URL from your android device to your PC to look at it on a bigger screen? Ever wanted to send a text message by typing it on your PC? Ever looked up a route description on your computer and realize you had to type in the exact same address in your GPS client? Did you ever e-mail yourself because you needed some text on another device?
No? Well then you probably don't need it at all. Sorry to have wasted your time
If you do think the app is useful you can get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.bdwm.clipsync
The Windows server is available at http://bdwm.be/cs
Hope you like it.

Like what I'm searching for a long a long time
Thank you so so much
Mutiple network addresses
Works a treat! Very simple to set up and use.
One wee problem I encountered though: where I'm at just now my PC has multiple network connections open: LAN and VPN. When the ClipSync server started up it was listening to the VPN address which ison an entirely different subnet to the LAN connection. So my Nexus, which was connected on the LAN subnet, couldn't find the server. When I disabled the VPN connection the server switched over automagically to listen on the LAN address and was found straight away by the Android app. A way to specify which IP address the server listens on would be great in this instance.
Another concern is using this in a multi-android environment e.g. at work the standard issue phone is a Galaxy Nexus so there's quite a few conected to the LAN at any one time. What's to stop someone installing the app and connecting to another users ClipSync server and getting / setting the contents of their clipboard? I'm being picky I know, but it's something I had to work around when writing a webOS app many moons ago that would use mDNS to broadcast stuff across a network. Setting a PIN on each client and using that to encrypt / decrypt broadcasts was where I ended up for that FWIW.
Also, if the server restarts, clients don't reconnect until you go into the app and manually reconnect.
I've just tried copying something on my Nexus 7 and it synced, not only to the server, but to my GNex as well Shutting down the server, unsurprisingly, stopped that particular magic from happening *sadpanda*. A feature request would most certainly be to allow clients to sync with each other without the need for a server to be running at all. You hate me, I know I've no idea what the mDNS capabilities of Android are but that would be one way of doing it.
All that said, this is a fantastic start to something extremely useful! So thank you very much for making the magic happen :good: and apologies for the rather rambling post
Northernmost, thank you for this post. Seems like you have really thoroughly tested the app. I really appreciate that. I'm aware of most of the issues you mentioned and I have just moved them up in my TODO list. Will be working on it this weekend and next week.
One thing I wasn't aware of yet was the problem that your PC can indeed have multiple IP-addresses.
This will be solved in the next version of ClipSync Server. Thanks again for your great feedback and your support
I wouldn't say I've thoroughly tested it... but I have been playing with it some more. Namely, I've been aiming at having the server program running on my home server (with a static IP so it's easy to find) and the clients connecting to it. Then having assorted desktops and servers sync their clipboards to the ClipSync server. The aim is to have all my devices keeping their clipboards in sync.
After forwarding the right port I could connect and sync clipboards between Android devices over any net connection rather than just a LAN one But the connection gets lost quite often (which is probably down to connectivity issues rather than the app itself) and you have to reconnect each device manually... which will get old real quick. Again, not the fault of ClipSync!
Then, using a program called Copycat to sync clipboards between various PCs (including the master ClipSync server) you end up with everything sharing the same clipboard automatically! Huzzah. Or that's what should be happening... but it looks like Copycat can get itself in a muddle and play clipboard changing loop-de-loop. There's a few other network clipboard syncing programs out there to try yet so hopefully I'll get that all ticking along nicely. Anyway, I'm rambling (again) :silly: but looking forward to where this all goes!
GREAT!!!
Just some days ago, i thought, that it would be a great feature, if i could copy and paste between my PC and my Phone.
Brilliant!

1. You can copy text from android to your PC by simply copying some text in android (Long press -> copy) and then pasting it in Windows (CTRL+V or right click -> paste)
2. You can copy text from PC to android by simply copying some text in Windows (CTRL+C or right click -> copy) and then pasting it in Android (long press -> paste)
It's really that simple. Here's a quick demonstration of me showing you how it works:
Wondering why you would need this?
Have you ever wanted to copy paste a URL from your android device to your PC to look at it on a bigger screen? Ever wanted to send a text message by typing it on your PC? Ever looked up a route description on your computer and realize you had to type in the exact same address in your GPS client? Did you ever e-mail yourself because you needed some text on another device?
No? Well then you probably don't need it at all. Sorry to have wasted your time
If you do think the app is useful you can get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.bdwm.clipsync
The Windows server is available at http://bdwm.be/cs
Hope you like it.

I Used evernot to create a note to send it to my computers web browser this should make life soo much easier
Hello,
I'd like to report a problem.
On my Win8 Enterprise RTM OS the desktop application crashes as soon as I connect.
If you need more information or debug data, I'd be glad to provide you as much as I'd be able to collect.
Hey well done. This is a simple and handy app that should have been integrated in Android frol the begining. Of you can patent the technology vecause I'm sure Apple will include this feature in a future release of iOS and call it revolutionary
Microsoft should at least have done this in Wubdows Phone since it runs on the same kernel.
Btw mooi dat iemand van Gent in het nieuws komt haha !

Thanks for reporting this. I have installed windows 8 RP today and had the same problem. I think it's solved now. I've updated ClipSync Server on website. Go and get it

There's a Java version coming up. I might need some Mac and Linux testers cause both my netbook and laptop have 3 different versions of windows running for the moment, and no way I'm going to buy me a Mac
If you are interested in testing a beta jar on Linux or OSX, please e-mail me and I will send it to you.

Didn't expect such a warm welcome to the community :victory:
Edit: Oops. Just noticed you are the author. Thank you so much!
Some more feedback:
The app could use a tray icon on the Android
Missing security settings, how can I know that another computer/phone doesn't use ClipSync in my network?
That seems like a very nice tool. Some nice features would be:
A manual sync mode. You (double/right/don't know) click on the tray icon and you send or receive the clipboard. The same on the phone, maybe the actionable notifications on jb also works with tray icons.
A keyboard extension. You open a tool and use your computer keyboard to type on your phone, like a bt keyboard.
Amazing!
The best app on the planet period!:good::laugh: exactly what i was looking for but never thought it could be that easy or even possible.. cheers!
congrats!
Great app! I was searching a lot for a such solution and I have found it in Airdroid and get used to it. Will see if ClipSync could convert me.

[APP][2.1+] FTP Server Ultimate - FTP, SFTP, FTPS server with multi-user, no-root

Unlike other FTP Server apps we have released an FTP Server with almost all the features you can think of. Some features FTP Server Ultimate has and most other apps don't have:
- Add multiple users: and give every user their own root, allow write access and force stay in given root directory
- Run FTP server over SSL (FTPS Implicit) to have a secure connection
- Or run FTP server over SSH (SFTP) to be even more secure! With even support for Secure Copy (SCP) and public key authentication.
- Run multiple servers at the same time!
- Extensive logging!
- No root needed!
And more features:
- Start/Stop a FTP server automatically when connected/disconnected from a specified WIFI network, or on boot
- Optionally only allow specified IP addresses to access a FTP Server
- Add a Dynamic DNS Updater using the local or public IP of your device
- UTF-8 support
- Optional anonymous access
- The FTP Server can be accessed from the web (for example through your 3G connection) if supported by your mobile network
- No more need for an USB cable
- Share files with other devices
You can download it for free from Google Play (see the link below). I would appreciate it if you could leave a message stating what you think of the app, whether it works ok and whether you are missing anything. Quite some time has been put into it.

FAQ
How come I can't run a server on a port below 1024?
That is a limitation of Android. However, you can try out our app Port Forwarder Ultimate which allows you to access the server on a port below 1024! So you can for example run it on port 21.
All feedback is welcome!
No feedback yet? I would really appreciate it if someone could try it out and let me know what you think of it. I really have put some time into it
Thanks
Did anyone try the app yet?
I tried it just now!
I dig it!
A suggestion if I may:
Add a little more dummy-proofing like tell them their connect string is "ftp://192.168.0.7:41839/" or whatever... and for both public and local URLs. Instead of just letting them know their current port number and IP addresses, etc. People familiar with FTP and FTPS will get it but n00bs will get lost.
In all I dig it tho! I'll use it!
Thanks man!

Vibrate on Connect (with my Galaxy Note SC-05D) isn't working.
And a status window with connected users (IP and/or login_name) and current operation (sending, receiving, CD folder name, etc) would be really nice - and in the basic version - it's kind of a safety thing IMO. Then press-holding on a user name should bring up an option panel menu: Kick, Kick-ban IP, Kick-Ban UserName, (and in the pay version: Send message).
Here's a little treat for ya... Opened into PhotoShop directly from my SC-05D phone:

Now all I need is a gopher server and I'll be in retro-la-la-land! (j/k of course)

Great to hear it's all working ok! Did you also try the sftp or ftps server? Thanks for the feedback!
Would you also be able to leave a review on Play? I would really appreciate that!
Did anyone else try the app??

How to access from the web?
I'm using it and it works great!
Are all of the same features present in your "servers ultimate " app?
Sent from my M886 using Tapatalk 2
Great APP! Thanks!
This got featured on the XDA portal!
Downloading and reviewing just for the sake of the hard work you put.
I'm having problems (Can't connect) using this with my Samsung GT-7100 Galaxy Note II.
I think is not an App problem but from the device. Every time i try to connect I'm getting this message : "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server"
Using other FTP Server and same result.
Never had this issue with my other device Galaxy S III.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Good to hear it works. About accessing from the web, you will need to use the public IP (visible under the info button on the start screen of the app). However, depending on your internet provider it might not work (some internet providers block it). If you use it through wifi you would need to enable port forwarding.

Yes, however, this app will be updated faster and is way less intensive to run on your device, since it's focused on FTP.

That sounds like a port forwarding problem. Do you try to access it through WIFI and are you with the client on the same WIFI network? Could you elaborate a bit?
It would be great if everyone who tries it let's me know whether it works ok and whether you are missing anything. Also, reviews on Android Play are of course welcome
Thanks!

Hello I'm a bit of a noob at the whole FTP thing. I downloaded the app, set up the server, and enabled port forwarding on my router. How do I gain access to the server? When I type my public ip into the url bar it just goes to my router login. I'm confused...
Thanks for any help!
Edit: I tried switching to 3G. I got a different public IP but I still got a "could not connect" error in the browser.
Sidenote-When I slide up the log menu it shows the different servers underneath, like there's no background in the log menu.

Server SSID Behaviour
Hi and thanks for putting this out. I've added, run and connected to a SFTP server with no problems But here's my problem - I'd like the same server to run on multiple SSIDs (e.g. my home and work ones).
When I tick the "start server when connected to selected wifi network" box I can only enter a single SSID and have the server start automatically when a connection comes up. I took a long shot and tried entering my two SSIDs with common delimiters (comma, semi-colon, backslash etc.) but no dice - the server wouldn't start automatically when connecting to either SSID (which wasn't unexpected as it's worded in the app to indicate whatever is entered is meant to be a single SSID). In the log I could see the server stop when wifi went down, log when wifi was connected to any SSID and when a server started and stopped.
I then tried creating an exact copy of the first server but with a different SSID set. Upon trying to save the second new server the app warned about two servers using duplicate ports and wouldn't let me save it. Fair enough but, with the particular settings, neither server should be running at the same time i.e. they are both set to only run when connected to different SSIDs. Picky picky I know
I also tried leaving the SSID field blank.The thinking here was that, when left blank, it would try and start the server when any SSID was connected.
To summarise... the ability to start a server on: any wifi connection, multiple named SSIDs or a single SSID would be great.

hi:
I set up the sftp server without problem, but when i tried to access i got an error.
I tried to connect with:
ssh -p serverport [email protected]
sftp [email protected]
sftp serverip
But i get,
for ssh:
ssh: connect to host serverip port sererport: Connection refused
for sftp:
Connecting to serverip
ssh: connect to host serverip port 22: Connection refused
Connection closed
However, i connected with winscp without problem.
So, do you have any idea of why i can't connect with ssh and sftp?
And if i could solve the problem, can i use scp?

Really cool, worked good, f*** MTP

Ah, it sounds like you forget using the port number. For example, you have an FTP server running on port 2121 with internal IP 192.168.1.54 and enabled port forwarding on your router to forward outside port 2121 to inside IP 192.168.1.54 and port 2121. Now you can access the FTP server using your public IP, for example 123.123.123.123
However, you need to specify the port number when using the IP. If you use a browser, type: ftp://123.123.123.123:2121/ That should work.
Let me know!

Ok, so client and server are on the same wifi. The server is, for example, running on 192.168.1.54 and port 2121, now on the client (probably a computer) use the browser and type in ftp://192.168.1.54:2121/
Let me know whether it worked!

Good idea! Great to hear you tried all those options but unfortunately at this moment only one SSID can be specified. However, as soon as we thought of 2-3 more servers to add for the update we will also include the ability to select multiple SSID's

Good point, the SFTP server only supports SFTP commands and will work great with all SFTP clients, however, SSH commands are not all supported. You can try the linux sftp command.
However, we also released an SSH Server (on Play) which also supports SFTP and SCP. So if you try that app you can connect through SSH commands from the command line.
Let me know whether it worked.

Hi:
I tried your ssh server and with winscp i had no problems. I could also connect without problem trough ssh command. But when I tried scp, the server disconnect the command and some times the app closed itself.
I don't know why this happens, I hope you can help me. I could let it like this because with ssh command it is enough for me but it bothers me xd.

Could you send me the steps you took? So what client are you using and what command did you send that produced an error?
