Important Notes

• Third-party tools like Android SFTP can sometimes have security issues or vulnerabilities, so always use them responsibly.
• Always ensure you have the latest Android Security Update (AST) installed to fix any security-related issues.
• Use strong passwords for your SFTP app and never share sensitive information with third-party tools.
• Avoid using the client in environments where you can't access Android Studio or make changes to the client.

If you prefer a more secure and trusted solution, consider using the built-in Android File Transfer (AFT) app:

1. Open the AFT app in the Android Market.
2. Select the app you want to transfer files to.
3. Choose the server for the transfer.
4. Start transferring files through AFT.

The AFT app is built-in and maintained by the Android team, making it a safer and more reliable option for SFTP transfers.
