This trick will save you huge amounts of time, and lots of fiddling with cables.
1. Make sure your phone and computer are connected to the same WiFi network
2. Go to Explorer –> at the bottom screen, FTP –> Start server –> There will be a link on the screen, started with ftp://xx.x.x.x:xxxx.
3. Go to your PC –> My Computer –> Paste the ftp link in the Computer address bar.
Now you’re all set to transfer file wirelessly from you computer to Mi Device.
Nice article, though this worked for me only one way, Android to pc. Couldn’t transfer files from pc to Android (redmi note 3 pro) via http://ftp.Am I missing something?
I’m following the instructions exactly and I’m able to transfer from pc to android aswell. Redmi Note 2 rooted.

It worked for me. Are you trying to do it through a browser? Do it through explorer. I dragged and dropped from one Explorer instance to the ftp Instance. Xiaomi Redmi Pro 64.
Yes I was doing it through browser. I later realized that I had to create a new network drive and input ftp address. It then worked both ways!
I’m glad you found success. Happy new year Aditya
Happy new year to you too Ruca!
Nice article. For the newest version of Miui (so far) 8.2.3 the Ftp icon is directly with the other icons, not below.
