FTP Server (Free) vs Spider
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FTP Server (Free)
This app can serve files over the internet but the most likely usage is to access files from another computer without needing a cable. The name Demo in the launcher just means that it corresponds to the free version on Google. The app is fully featured so instead of buying the "Full" version as a way of contributing you can donate via the Paypal link.
Spider
This application connects you to your SFTP server. As login methods you can use a password or your PEM private key. At the moment only PEM keys are supported, so check to have it in the correct format. With release 0.2.2 also encrypted PEM keys are supported. You can browse your files in the SFTP server and download them with a long press, or upload new ones using the '+' floating button. It also supports swipe down to refresh.
