Xiaomi is a smartphone vendor from China that uses an Android-based operating system. Xiaomi has developed its own Desktop Interface called MIUI. MIUI stands for Mi User Interface, where the word "Mi" itself refers to the name of the manufacturer Xiaomi. The advantages of MIUI are a simple, easy user interface, and an elegant yet lightweight appearance (does not take up much memory). There are many forms of MIUI display that spoil users and can be chosen according to taste.
One of the facilities of MIUI is transferring files to a computer via Xiaomi's built-in Explorer application. In this case the Xiaomi built-in explorer application has an FTP server. FTP itself stands for File Transfer Protocol. A protocol in the world of computer networks used for sending files. So in simple terms, our Smartphone acts as an FTP server and the computer as an FTP client (using Windows Explorer).
