Description

Currently only one path can be selected, eg : can not use both internal storage and memory card at the same time. And no encryption support, dangerous on public WiFi.

  1. Add sftp or ftps support.
  2. Add virtual path support (maybe even permission control of each path? Am I asking too much😳 I really love this project and wish it becomes better devastatingly)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing FTP server implementation in the Android application and how it currently selects a single storage path. Determine the scope for encrypted transfer and virtual paths with per-path permissions; done would require the requested FTP security and multi-path behavior, with validation for both storage locations.
