PierlyFTP is an FTP, FTPS and SFTP client for connecting to servers you are authorized to access and transferring files between local folders and remote directories.

01

Browse and manage

  • View local folders and remote directories side by side
  • See names, sizes and modified dates; SFTP also shows permissions returned by the server
  • Enter a path directly or set a default remote directory for each connection
  • Sort by name, size or modified date, show hidden files and copy remote paths
  • Create remote folders, rename items or delete them
02

Upload and download

  • Upload and download files and folders over FTP, FTPS or SFTP
  • Select items from the local list or drag files and folders into the window to upload them
  • Skip, replace or keep both when an item with the same name already exists
  • Run between 1 and 10 transfers at the same time
  • Follow progress and activity, cancel a transfer, or retry failed and cancelled transfers
03

Connections and authentication

  • FTP, explicit FTPS, implicit FTPS and SFTP
  • FTP supports username and password or anonymous access, with automatic, UTF-8 or GB18030 filename encoding
  • SFTP supports passwords and Ed25519 or RSA private keys
  • Passwords and private-key passphrases are kept in protected system credential storage
  • FTPS checks TLS certificates; SFTP asks you to confirm the SSH host key on first connection and warns you if a saved host identity changes
04

Free and Pro

The free version saves one server connection. A one-time PierlyFTP Pro purchase removes the server limit. Personal and family options are available as one-time purchases.

PierlyFTP does not require an account. Server settings and trusted host identities remain on this device.
