Research direction

Start by reproducing the transfer with an .srt file and compare it with the renamed .txt case. Read the logged paths around ops.py, remote.py, interceptors.py, server.py, and transfers.py, especially the referenced lines, to trace where the transfers diverge. Done means an .srt file transfers successfully to Android without renaming.
