Primitive FTPd
A simple FTP and SFTP (SSH file transfer) server. Allows to exchange files with other machines over WiFi. No more USB cable searching. Runs without root privileges and is not started when device boots: Control yourself when the server runs. However, while it runs it prevents standby to avoid long uploads and downloads to abort.
