FTP computer from phone

I've been trying to do this for two days now, everything leads me to access my phone from the computer with things like SwiFTP, which is super awesome(screw that usb cable non-sense.
But I would like to access my computer from my phone, I tried the default browser and Dolphin both to the result of just giving me the Google results of my computers address. Even if the browser would work, that provides read only results and I would like to be able to transfer files, is there a file manager that will allow this and I'm just over looking it?
I am rooted, so any option is viable.

ES File Explorer has an FTP option that I haven't used, although upon preliminary observations it seems to be what you need.

(Open ES File Explorer, Tap 'Menu', Tap 'Show Tabs'. Tap 'FTP' at the top of the window. Add a server through 'Menu'->'New'->'Server').

Cheers.
 
Might have to try that one next, shortly after my OP I found File Expert and it seems to be what I need also but getting it setup seems difficult or better yet I just have no clue what I'm doing... Thanks for the tip on ES
