I have a android device and laptop that servers as my server, I want to transfer file from android device into my laptop that both are using different networks but connected to the same VPN Server (Android is using Mobile Data and Laptop is connected to wifi). Thank you very much!

What I have tried:

I tried to use FTP applications available in Github/Play store but whenever i change the network of one device the file transfer fails all the time.

If there is a network link between the two devices then it should work.

That's going to depend entirely on the configuration of the VPN and your other network devices. They have to be setup to allow connections between the two networks.

There may be a firewall between the two networks that may need to be configured.

Routing may need to be configured.

A quick check os to try an PING the machine from the Android device and try to PING the Adndroid device from the machine you're trying to send files to. You're going to need the IP addresses of both in order to try this and you're going to need a set of network tools on the Android device to be able to do a PING from there.

Once you have the network working between the two, you can then move on to working on to verifying an appropriate server is running on the target machine to receive the files and an appropriate client on the Android device to send them.
