'''FTP server for Pythonista (iOS)

You can use this to exchange files with a Mac/PC or a file management app on the same device (e.g. Transmit).

If you use a Mac, you can connect from the Finder, using the "Go -> Connect to Server..." menu item.

whenever I try to run this on pythonista on my phone I just get a bunch of errors

This script is targeting Python 2.7. Try modifying the script for Python 3 or set the Pythonista to use 2.7 as the default interpreter.

https://pypi.org/project/pyftpdlib/ could be upgraded.
