A few years ago, I had installed a a nice FTP server (WiFi FTP Pro) on my wife's Android phone, to make it easy to download photos etc. Then Google forcibly installed Storage Access Framework (SAF) on Android: it blocks access to all but a few directories (e.g., can't even get at the SD card!), and there seems to be no update for this FTP server to coexist with SAF. P.S. Google claims this was done for security reasons (which it does somewhat improve), but I wonder if it isn't also to trap you into their ecosystem (Google Drive et all). _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
