Hello there! I'm a new Cloud Commander user and discovered the project while looking for file managers to use with my personal server.

I noticed that rclone has already been recommended here in 2018 (#204), and that fully integrating rclone may not be feasible.

I think a good alternative would be to support FTP similar to the current Dropbox implementation. This would, in practice, enable support for all backends/protocols supported by rclone, since it can serve any of its remotes over FTP.

Hope this is worth taking a look at,
A grateful new user.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Cloud Commander's current Dropbox implementation and the linked rclone FTP-serving documentation to understand the intended integration boundary. Done means adding FTP support comparable to Dropbox and confirming that rclone remotes served over FTP can be used through it.
