About this app

Ferry moves files between your iPhone or iPad and the machines on your local network (your NAS, home server, or desktop) over SMB and SFTP. Open it, pick a host, move a file. That's it. No accounts. No cloud round-trip. No ads. Nothing leaves your network. WHAT IT DOES • Connects over SMB (SMB2/3) and the SSH family (SFTP/SCP) • Finds hosts automatically — anything advertising SMB or SSH on your Wi-Fi shows up under "On your network" via Bonjour • Saves connections so the next transfer skips the login • Password or SSH key auth — import an OpenSSH key and connect key-only • Browse both sides: your device's files and the remote host, with size and modified date • Tap to transfer, or multi-select a batch • A Transfers screen with per-job progress, a queue, and retry on failure • Warns before overwriting a file that already exists • Open local files with the system QuickLook hand-off • Adaptive by design: a clean single pane on iPhone, a true side-by-side dual pane on iPad NOT A FILE MANAGER Ferry does one job. It is not a cloud client, not a media player, not a "manage your whole NAS" suite. Browse, transfer, and basic delete — nothing more. Scope discipline is the whole point. • No Dropbox / Drive / S3 / iCloud connectors • No in-app editing or archive browsing • No server mode — your device is a client, it does not host its own share One honest note on iOS: transfers run while Ferry is open. If you leave the app, iOS suspends it and active transfers pause — Ferry keeps the screen awake during a transfer and tells you this plainly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no sign-up, no backend — there is no Ferry server to phone home to • No analytics, no crash SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no telemetry • Saved hosts and metadata stay in the app's local container • Passwords and SSH private keys live in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device • Ferry only opens connections to the hosts you configure Requirements: iOS 17 or later. iPhone and iPad. Free.

Baseline captured. Growth appears after the crawler observes a changed rating count.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
