Making My WIndows 10 PC as FTP Server?

[nitinvaid20]

Hello everyone I am using windows 10 and my PC is shared with all my HDD Drives i use that on my android device by using ES file explorer but the speed of data transfer is too low it was mapped as SMB what if i make my windows 10 as FTP server and then use the esfile explorer to connect with that server over same wifi will it improve the speed?
and how to make the my PC FTP so that i can use that on my mobile
I am using Netgear R7000 Router with One Plus 3T

A file server should have a wired connection to your network for optimum performance. If you can't or won't run an ethernet cable, then you should try powerline network adapters for the file server.

FTP does have lower overhead than SMB, but is much more limited in functionality.

I am going to bet the bottleneck is your android device but it is hard to say for sure. SMB by itself is not really a limitation. There have been discussions for years how to tune servers to use 10gbit ports more effectively. Maybe if you are getting lots of errors on your wireless transmission it is causing the issue. SMB is does not tolerate data loss as well as some other file transfer protocols. Maybe FTP will help but data loss and delay in wifi will hurt ftp also.

i am using filezilla on my windows 10 as FTP and in my mpbile i am getting speed upto 300Mbos over wifi
and in SMB i was just getting like 70-80Mbps

Not sure why you get results like that when you consider SMB is the standard for commercial installations. If FTP runs better you would think everyone would use it but FTP is very rare to see. This must be something unique to your implementation. 300mbps also is much higher than you see the wireless connection speed on that router when it is tested on many of the testing sites.

i am using ES file exploere and by default in LAN it uses SMB i was using it fro from long time but getting too low data transfer speed and even when i upload a file from my mobile to PC it was like max 7-9Mbps which is 800-1000kbps

then i thought of give it a try to Ftp as i bought this AC1900 router and still so low speed
since i am using ftp the upload and download is like 30-32mbps or 300Mbps+ my whole 10+GB of sd card data transfered in minutes
