What FTPManager Pro is
FTPManager Pro is an app for accessing and managing files on FTP servers from an iPhone or iPad. It connects through FTP, FTPS, and SFTP over SSH, and lets users copy, move, rename, delete, sort, and search files. Transfers can run between servers, cloud storage, and iOS devices, with drag and drop support; the App Store listing also says the app can access Dropbox. A built-in text editor provides line numbers, syntax highlighting, and full-text search, and the app can display listed document, photo, music, and video formats. For local transfers, its FTP server moves files between a computer and an iPhone or iPad on the same Wi-Fi network, using port 2121. Nearby iOS devices can also exchange files directly without Wi-Fi or LTE. Configuration export, import, and MDM distribution are available only in the Pro version. The App Store requires iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad.
