Description
Describe the bug
FTP no longer works on my device running android 9 due to the recently added SAF prompt.
To Reproduce
- Attempt to start FTP
- Get SAF prompt
- Press OK, pick the root of the internal storage
- Nothing happens, pressing start again results in the same prompt showing up again
Expected behavior
FTP should start (without the prompt, as it has never been necessary on this android version)
Smartphone
- Device: Pocophone F1
- OS: Android 9 (LineageOS 16)
- Rooted: Yes
- Version: 3.6.1
