   We are both correct in that we all know an "FTP Server" has to be on the   
   device. AFAIK, almost everyone has ES File Explorer on their Android   
   device.   
      
   I'm sure there are some who don't - but "almost everyone" does.

   If Android came native with a "server", I'd use that (SMB? FTP?).   
   Is there a native 'server' on Android that talks, over wifi, to Windows &   
   Luinux?
