Remote access on mobile without app?

For FTP or SSH SFTP, you’ll first need to enable them in the WD Dashboard settings.

If you’re just accessing within your LAN, then just provide your MyCloud internal hostname or IP to those android apps server details.

But if you want to access them from the internet, 1st you need to take note of your Public IP, Google “what is my ip”. Replace the server details with your Public IP then port forward to the MyCloud IP as below on your router:

FTP: 21(TCP)
SSH SFTP: 22(TCP)

But I must warn you about opening access to the internet especially SSH SFTP. With a weak root password, your MyCloud security could be easily compromised! Make sure you know what you’re doing. Read my guide Securing WDMyCloud SSH & FTP Remote Access at the bottom of the 1st post.
