I emailed the app developer several weeks ago but have received no reply, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if any of the other ftp server apps on Google Play have the code necessary to allow them to be granted the necessary permission. I now have to perform the copy indirectly by using Filezilla to ftp the maps to a folder such as Downloads, and then use File Manager + on the phone to move the maps from Downloads to the correct folder under Android/data.
I've just upgraded to a Pixel 6 phone running Android 12, and the app can no longer access any of the folders under Android/data on the phone. For several years I've been using the FTP Server Pro app from Olive Tree Software when copying files (mainly updated maps for my mapping app that I batch download on a PC) to the folder under Android/data where the app stores its maps.
