DISCLAIMER : this isn't really an awesome list, I don't care about guidelines, rules and etc. so I don't bother make a real repo and a real pull request.
This list uses the power of my advanced Google Play search engine to get some free, in-app-free and ad-free apps from it.
DISCLAIMER : these 3 criteria are the only one I use, what I mean is open source, decentralization and retrocompatibility aren't important in this list.
However, I sort these apps according to my own user experience.

I prefer SSH over FTP and the protocol supports more than just file transfers, it allows you run scripts or commands remotely on an Android device. Plus SSH is encrypted where as FTP isn't. So it can be used on networks such as office and schools where not everyone on the network might be trusted.
