Send With FTP vs Share via HTTP
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Send With FTP
Manage your FTP(S) URIs within the app and share files via the Android Share Menu.
Share via HTTP
N.B The app doesn't make an entry in the app list: only the share menu. Share files from your phone to one or many, quickly and easily. Just share the item via the Share Menu and a mini web server will be started allowing others to download the file. If there are multiple files a zip archive will be created on the fly. If https://f-droid.org/packages/com.google.zxing.client.android is installed a QR code can be produced with the URL. It will only work if the recipient is on the same LAN if you use WiFI but should work anywhere if you use GSM (2G/3G), though more slowly. The server can be stopped at any time from the screen that shows the URL (press the back button if you're on the barcode).
