  3. Here are some settings for you to play with.
    1. Port number: can be changed to your proffered port no.
    2. Anonymous access: let the user login without user id and password. Do not mark this option. (I don’t recommend this option for security and privacy reasons, after all, it is up to you).
    3. Userid: set up your preferred user Id.
    4. Password: setup password.
    5. Use FTPS: enables secure FTP protocol over TLS/SSL and requires an ‘S’ added before IP address. For example: type “ftps://192.168.x.xx:xxxx” instead “ftp:// 192.168.x.xx:xxxx”.
    6. SSL mode: Implicit (recommended)
    7. Root folder: Can choose option folder as root directory to share over FTP.
    8. Read-only: Makes root directory as ‘read-only’.
    9. Theme: dark or light (Default).
    10. Display password: the password will be displayed on your app home screen.
  4. After done with the ‘Settings’, go back and click on the ‘start’ button to start the Android FTP server.
