I added FTP server support to my EPUB reader for remote libraries

Many ebook readers focus on local storage or cloud services, but I wanted an easy way to access books stored on my own server.

So I added FTP server support to Shiori EPUB Reader.

Now you can:

• 🌐 Connect to any FTP server
• 📂 Browse your remote library
• 📖 Open and read books directly from the server
• 📚 Keep your collection in one place instead of copying files to every device

I originally built this for people who keep their ebook collection on a NAS, home server, Raspberry Pi, or other self-hosted storage.

Setup only takes a minute:

1. Add a new FTP server.
2. Enter your server address and login credentials.
3. Browse your folders and start reading.

I'm interested in how other people manage their ebook libraries.

• Do you keep everything on your device?
• Use cloud storage?
• Run your own NAS or FTP server?

Here's a short demo showing the setup process:
