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

Research direction

Start by reproducing the FTP startup flow on Android 9 with the SAF prompt, using the steps in the issue. Trace the prompt's root-storage selection through the FTP start path and verify that FTP starts without repeatedly requesting access on the reported Android version.
