FTPManager - FTP, SFTP client 4+

I downloaded this app to access the files on my Vespera smart telescope without having to drag the laptop and FTP into it. I turned off cellular data, connected to the Vespera instrument's Wi-Fi network, and set up a new connection for the Vespera FTP address. That's the only thing I needed to put in. left everything else blank or on the default setting. It took a minute or two to connect, which is the same with the laptop, and then I had access to all the user accessible files on my Vespera. I was able to view, open, download and share the JPEGs and tiff files right from the scope. Perfect!! This is a super simple app that does one thing. And if you don't know your way around FTP, then you're gonna need to do a little reading on how to set it up for your particular application as it is geared to someone who does know the basics of FTP. One limitation of the free version is that you are only allowed to set up and save one FTP connection. For my Vespera it's no big deal because all the scopes use the same FTP address, it's the Wi-Fi network that you connect to that determines which scope you access.

Apple gives me a headache but this app is like an aspirin—takes the pain out of it. I have had a terrible time getting photos off my iphone12. I am an Adobe creative cloud user and I need the actual data—not a pointer on a cloud. So this app was able to pull all images off the phone and put it right on my ftp server. Took time because I think apple puts a timeout in the way but this app waits and waits and gets it. Another great surprise is the conversion from apple heic to jpeg during the transfer. So happy I am buying the pro version. Thanks again. Great app!!!

So I’m currently traveling for a 1 hours ride to camp, and it seems like I forgot my laptop since I needed to hurry. I use my laptop to access my 3DS XL files but I didn’t bring the laptop. I had FTPD installed so, why not give this app a try? It worked! Extremely happy about this. 1 single problem is I have to drag my files from the “My Files” app and it’s a bit annoying.
But great app, useful for a ride
