Transfer Files from Your Phone to Your Server
Need to upload a file to your server while you're away from your desk? FilePort Pro is a mobile-friendly SFTP and FTP client that runs in your phone's browser — no app to install, no credentials stored. Connect, browse, and move files right from your phone or tablet.
Why use a browser on your phone instead of an FTP app
File-port apps on phones exist, but they add an install step, need updates, and often sit unused between emergencies. A browser-based client is always current and needs nothing but the browser you already have. It works the same on iOS and Android, and there's nothing to clean up or update when you only needed one quick transfer.
How to transfer files from your phone
- Open the app in your phone's browser — no install step.
- Choose SFTP (recommended, port 22 by default) or FTP — enter host, username, and password, plus an optional starting folder.
- Connect and transfer — the layout adapts to your screen so you can browse folders, upload files, and download what you need.
On your phone right now? open a browser-based FTP connection — no app to install.
SFTP from mobile is the safer choice
When your server offers SFTP, it's the secure way to move files from a phone: everything runs inside an SSH connection, so your login and files are encrypted in transit, and the app verifies the server's host key so it can warn you if a server's identity ever changes.
Plain FTP sends your password unencrypted by protocol design, so FilePort Pro warns you before you connect over FTP and recommends SFTP whenever the server supports it. In all cases the app runs over HTTPS, and your credentials are held only in memory for the session — never stored or logged. To relay the connection, your credentials pass through our server to reach yours, as with any hosted client.
