Description

Whenever I added an FTP server to the app, i could browse files just fine and even create files, but whenever I try to delete a file, it doesn't work, and instead created a toast indicating an exception. Using other android ftp clients allows me to delete the file just fine, but Material Files can't do it for some reason

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the app's FTP client: connect to an external FTP server, create or select a file, and attempt to delete it. Inspect the resulting exception and compare the delete operation with the working browse and create operations. Done means deleting a remote file succeeds without showing an exception toast.
