SwiFTP allows you to run an ftp server on your android device. This means that any other computer/device can access the files on your android device while the ftp server is running. For example, entering 'ftp://...' in the firefox url bar will allow you to browse the files on your device from a desktop pc or a laptop.
By default, the user name and password are both 'ftp', you should change them. You use this user name and password when accessing the server.
For power and security reasons, it is recommended that the server be stopped after use.

After checking if this app discontinued or not, I found that it has changed it's name to FTP Server (swiftp).
Current website is http://ppareit.github.io/swiftp/
Old version still available in Google Play and used by people, but new version is also exist and keep updating here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.ppareit.swiftp
Not sure if this app should be added separately or updated.
