What’s up everyone? In this post, I will show you how to make your Android Device’s Internal and External (if any) Storage an FTP Server, how you can download, upload, move, copy, delete, etc. with access from another phone or PC.

So why delay, let’s start our today’s topic.

For this we need a small application. That is

App name : HTTP FS

App Link : PLAYSTORE

Now come to the details of how to use it

(1) At the beginning enter the App and give permission.

(2) Then you can go to settings and see all logs here. It also has the option to start the server with the device start.

There is also an option to start the server with the app start.

There is also haptic vibration. If you give battery permission, the app will not auto kill from the background. As a result, you can keep your server running 24 hours a day.

(3) By going to server settings, you can also decide which storage folder you will access, starting from ip & port.

(4) You can use password and ssl (https) if you want.

(5) Settings review is done. Now I am going to tell you how to use it. Return to Home.

(6) Then click on the circle button. Now see 192.168.0.100 written and given a QR CODE. You will get access by scanning the qr code or writing the address on another phone.

In case of PC, server ip address should be given instead of qr code. You can change this ip address if you want.

So this was our topic today. I am leaving here today. Inshallah, see you in the next post.
