## Features

### Client
- **Dual Pane Interface**: Classic Commander-style layout (Local vs Remote).
- **Bookmarks Manager**: Save your favorite servers (Host, Port, User, Pass).
- **Anonymous Support**: Easy connect to public FTPs.
- **Fast Navigation**: Keyboard-driven workflow (`Tab` to switch, `Enter` to open).
- **Robust**: Handles connection drops and timeouts gracefully.

### Server
- **Instant Setup**: Start an FTP server in any folder with one command.
- **Auto-IP Detection**: Shows your LAN IP immediately.
- **Anonymous Mode**: Just hit Enter at username prompt to allow public read-only access.
- **Solid**: Based on `pyftpdlib`, rock-solid and secure.
