Features

Everything you need to share files locally

A full FTP server with a simple interface. No terminal or config files needed.

One-click server

Pick a folder and press the power button. Your files are shared on the network right away.

QR code for phones

Scan the QR code with your phone to connect. No need to type IP addresses.

Password & read-only

Allow anyone to connect, or require a username and password. Read-only mode stops uploads and deletes.

Live activity

See connected devices, every download and upload, and the total data transferred as it happens.

Launch at startup

Start with your computer and share automatically from the system tray, so your files are always ready.

Runs in the background

Close the window and keep sharing. LanShare FTP asks first, and can remember your choice.

Update notifications

Get notified when a new version is out. One click downloads the right installer for your system.

Works with everything

Use Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, Linux file managers, FileZilla, or any FTP app on Android or iOS.
