FTPManager - FTP, SFTP client Reviews

by AlexB1985

This is trash and doesn’t work. The requests from FTPManager on the server side don’t even make sense. The same “developer” puts out multiple similar apps under different names and floods FTPManager Store with positive reviews. It’s a shame that the Store isn’t policed by Apple like it used to be. Again, this is garbage that you need to ignore. I’m not sure how paying for a premium/pro version will help

This is the second time I’ve lost 80% or more of a file, thank you app developers. I’ve figured out the problem. FTPManager freezes while it’s saving, so I go back hoping it will cancel the save that’s in progress. Instead, it saves the first 10% of the file, and completely deletes the remainder of the file. So thank you for 1. Dismissing my first complaint and making me feel like I’m the idiot who used FTPManager wrong, and 2. Completely ruining and entire file that I’ve spent multiple days perfecting.

Thanks again!

FTPManager is called this app which I assumed meant it would allow managing files on ftp. This is a complete “free app” trap. To actually manage files requires a paid upgrade. I have no problem paying for an app that would do what I need but not being upfront about whether FTPManager does what it promises at the price listed is just ridiculous. If you want to get paid for your app then list it as a paid app and don’t try to catch people when they downloaded your “free” app, went through the setup of the servers only to finally discover at the last minute that it was a waste of time.

I entered all of my information to access my FTP. It tried to connect and gave me an error message. Thinking I (or perhaps FTPManager itself) had made a simple mistake when I set up the account, I clicked “edit” to review the account. It then told me I had to upgrade and would not let me edit anything. So there’s one mistake and FTPManager won’t allow me to fix it? Completely worthless to me. Deleted!

For no reason, FTPManager will close the built-in server for totally random time, and it's totally unreliable. Just imagine when you need it work, it just simply doesn't, no matter how you try to fix it by switching on and off, or just kill FTPManager and reopen it... None of them work out. So, if you want to use file transfer service for some business purposes, STAY AWAY FROM FTPManager.

Downloaded to check it out, made a mistake setting up the FTP server I wanted to connect to and it won’t let me edit it without upgrading to PRO. I don’t even know if it works so I am not going to upgrade something I can’t even test out.

Plus it is constantly nagging you with a pop up. I was looking for one to buy but I couldn’t even use this one and the whole experience of the free version left a negative impact right off the bat so I bought another one instead.

Love FTPManager , but every time I go to save something (or multiple files in same the folder), I have to jump through the same hoops each time since I’m using the ftp to access my website from the art programs I use. It would be nice if it would FTPManager would remember the folder I’m in. Won’t stop me from using FTPManager , just would like to streamline the process.

Purchased several days ago. Great looking interface, and intuitive, however I cannot connect to FTP with correct credentials (already tried my hosting tech support, etc) and have sent a few messages in hopes to get help from developers.

I’m still waiting- but if it works, it’ll get all five stars! I need to upload video to my website which is typically too large to reasonably transfer in other ways.

For a lot of use cases, the fact that you can only have one ftp server set up would be a big problem. For me, it's actually what I'm looking for: I want to be able to edit one particular website from my phone. And this does that.

Pretty much what the title says. It gets the job done of accessing my FTP and copying and pasting my files, but it is a bit troublesome to stumble around the ui as you figure out how to move files from your phone to your FTP.

I wish there was an option to have the downloads of images go directly into my Photo library and to maybe change the location of downloaded files to my downloads folder, but a good app nonetheless.

I gave it 4 stars because I like FTPManager and I don’t know why, it might be because of an iOS update or something else I don’t know about, but they deleted the ‘On my iPhone’ section on FTP Manager, FTP Manager Pro, and FE File Explorer. The only reason I downloaded it was to transfer my Minecraft worlds to Xbox, although I can’t do that anymore.

It's certainly not the easiest interface in the world to navigate but, if you needed an ftp with HTML editing or whatever, this works like a charm. Obviously this is meant for people who are very familiar with writing web environments from scratch. It won't help people much if they are reliant on DreamWeaver, Wixx or some other common website building tool.

I have tried a number of FTP apps and have found all of them to have bugs or just plain don’t work. This one works perfectly, quickly and efficiently, every time. It works exactly as advertised. I recommend it.

My keyboard was down when I wrote the title of this review and so I relied on auto suggested words.

This program has simplified my workflow and allows me to edit from anywhere. Free. What’s not to love.

FTPManager works so well it's scary. I can't believe I'm actually editing my custom PHP website from a different country so easily. The FTP connection works seamlessly- better than full FTP apps I have on my desktop computer. And support for a minor question was quick via email. Outstanding!

by MacMage2

I had an urgent situation where I needed to edit a PHP script. All I had was my phone. FTPManager came to my rescue! I was able to edit my script from within FTPManager . Thanks for making that ability!

Contrary to what some reviewers say, it is possible to edit the settings of an FTP connection. Simply tap and slide to the left the connection icon to view the options: duplicate, edit, and trash.

I’m very impressed by the quality and variety of features in FTPManager. Highly recommended!!

Best FTP app for mobile out there. Log in was quick and easy, user interface is simple and easy to understand, unlike many other FTP apps, saves files very quickly. Definitely recommend you try out FTPManager.

by Pantera Ruber

I was looking for just this functionality.

by (Not The Omnipotent) Q

I was looking for one and already had their other product, an EXIF viewer(a must for shutterbugs), and saw they had this FTP app.

It's clean, straight forward, and has a great flow. I'm not a super user just needed simple FTP and some other "desktop" style features on my phone. This fits the bill nicely!

The last version of UI working very very bad. In text editor I can't access to last lines, because in the top of editor is a white line (it's about 15px, or smth). When I rotate device, the buttons after changing self position don't return back, especially when search line is active, so one buttons become overlapped by another ones. Fix it please, can't work!
