     Your smartphone will only connect if you *let* it connect to his SSID   
   and *give* the correct password/key.   
      
     Even if it passes this, *your* phone has to start a FTP server (or   
   have it running) and he has to figure out the IP address which his DHCP   
   server has assigned to your phone. That's of course doable, but not   
   trivial.   
      
     If you let all that happen, you'll get what's coming to you! :-)
