How to transfer files between mobile Phone to Ubuntu Desktop using WiFi FTP Server

Wireless technologies are finally taking over their wired counterparts. Gone are the days when you would plug in your USB cable to transfer some data between your mobile and PC.

File Transfer Protocol lets you connect two devices and stream files between them in their most basic form. You can use FTP to connect to a device on your Wi-Fi network or a remote server because it works over the Internet. You will need an FTP server on one device and an FTP client on another to use it.

Connect to your Computer

  • Go to your Ubuntu file manager.
