AeroFTP
Capability: AeroFTP
Use it when
- You juggle FileZilla, WinSCP, rclone, and cloud web consoles and want one desktop client with an encrypted credential vault across FTP, SFTP, S3, WebDAV, and 25+ cloud providers
- You need to migrate saved server profiles and credentials between transfer tools like rclone, WinSCP, and FileZilla without hand-editing plaintext config files
What it solves
Not the fit when
- Headless application code that needs a storage SDK rather than a desktop client.
- AeroShare P2P transfer is a beta preview.
- macOS and Windows builds are not platform-store signed; macOS installation requires bypassing Gatekeeper.
- Bridge imports can recover credentials from other tools, and exports may re-encode credentials into weaker destination formats; back up configs and review the destination format before exporting.
- programmatic object storage SDK for applications
- scheduled server provisioning
- web scraping
Install
Download an installer from https://github.com/axpdev-lab/aeroftp/releases, or winget install axpnet.AeroFTP (Windows), snap install aeroftp, or AUR package aeroftp-bin (Linux); macOS .dmg is unsigned and needs sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AeroFTP.app
Invoke
Launch AeroFTP and add a server profile for FTP/FTPS/SFTP/WebDAV/S3/Azure/Swift or a native cloud provider; bridge existing configs with `aeroftp import rclone` or `aeroftp export winscp`, or use Settings > Export/Import > Bridge in the GUI.
