In today’s world, sharing files between devices should be fast, private, and internet-free. That’s exactly why I built DropLine — a lightweight FTP server app for Android that lets you share files instantly over your local Wi-Fi network.
🔧 What is DropLine?
DropLine is an Android app that turns your phone into an FTP server with just a single tap. It helps you access or share files using FTP clients like FileZilla or even directly from your web browser.
No cables.
No internet.
No ads.
Just clean, fast file sharing.
🌟 Key Features
✅ Start/Stop FTP Server with One Tap
✅ Share files over local Wi-Fi — No internet required
✅ Works with any FTP client
✅ Shows IP address and port info
✅ Clean & simple UI
✅ Lightweight — uses minimal resources
✅ Secure with optional password protection
⚙️ How It Works
Once installed and launched:
Tap the Start Server button
DropLine shows your local IP & FTP port
Open any FTP client (e.g. FileZilla)
Enter the IP, port, and credentials (if set)
Boom — browse or upload/download files
Example:
ftp://192.168.0.105:2121
You can even open this in Chrome or Windows Explorer to browse shared files.

📦 Use Cases
📁 Transfer files from phone to PC (or vice versa)
📶 Share photos/videos between Android devices
💻 Access phone files directly from a browser
🧑💻 Self-host small files or scripts on the go
🔐 Is It Safe?
Yes. DropLine only runs the server locally — only devices on the same Wi-Fi network can connect. You can also set a username/password for extra protection.
