Supported Protocols
FTP. Classic FTP for legacy servers.
FTPS. FTP over TLS (explicit and implicit).
SFTP. SSH file transfer with password or private-key authentication.
Connection Profiles
Save reusable connection profiles with hostname, port, protocol, username, password or private-key path, default remote directory, and a friendly name. Profiles are stored as JSON in app-private storage, sandboxed to Stealth by Android. You can also choose not to save credentials per profile so the password is requested at connect time.
- One-tap reconnect from the saved-connections list
- FTP transfers run in binary mode
- Passive mode is used for FTP / FTPS
Browsing and Transfers
Local pane. Browse internal storage, SD card, and Storage Access Framework locations.
Remote pane. Browse the connected server with breadcrumbs and quick navigation.
Transfer queue. Watch upload and download progress per file.
Background transfers. A foreground service keeps transfers running when you switch apps.

| Save credentials per profile | Skip the password prompt on reconnect, or leave it on to be asked every time |
| Confirm overwrites | Prompt before replacing existing files |
Why Use the Stealth FTP Client
Built in. No separate FTP app to install.
Saved profiles. Hit a profile and you are connected; no retyping host, port, and creds for every session.
Three protocols, one client. Old FTP servers, TLS-protected FTPS, and modern SFTP all share the same UI.
