Do you know how to upload files to a web server? If not, and you’re using FileZilla or similar, then you can use this article for a walk-through of how to upload large/multiple files to your web servers using FTP.
Uploading Files To A Web Server
There are two ways to upload large files to a web server, one of which is better than the other.
The first way is by using FTP software. This is the most common method and it works well enough. The problem with FTP is that it’s not very secure and can be vulnerable to eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.
The second way to upload files is by using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). This method uses SSH encryption to ensure that your data cannot be intercepted or altered while in transit between your computer and web server.
If you want to send files from your Android device to a remote web server, you’ll need an app that supports SFTP. There are many different options available in the Google Play Store — we recommend trying out File Manager by AndroNexus or ES File Explorer .

Host Name – This is the actual IP address of your server;
Port Number – It should be 21;
Username – This is usually the same as your username on the server;
Password – The password for your account on the server;
PASV Mode – Set this mode to Off if yours is not set up yet
