The MAVFTP screen shows the SYS folder twice. It is not two separate but identically named folders but rather the same folder.

I've confirmed that MAVProxy does not show the folder twice so I think it's an MP issue. Here's the output from MAVProxy when listing the directories

This was first reported [here during Copter-4.6 beta testing](https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/sd-card-folders-structure/130477/3)

Research direction

Start at the MAVFTP screen and compare its directory listing with the MAVProxy output shown in the issue. Trace why the same SYS folder is displayed twice, and consider the issue done when the folder appears only once in Mission Planner.
