Description

First thank you so much for the best file manager of Android!

Is there a way to start up the ftp server remotely through adb?
For example if I run "adb shell am start me.zhanghai.android.files/.ftpserver.FtpServerActivity" the ftp activity is bring to focus, but I can't find a way to turn it on.

Research direction

Start with the FtpServerActivity entry point and reproduce the provided adb shell am start command. Trace how the FTP server is enabled from that activity and determine the supported remote-start behavior. Done means the FTP server can be started through adb shell, with the resulting behavior verified on Android.
