[Chisan Gelu]

hi. i created a droidscript plugin who enable a ftp or sftp access to droidscript folder .

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QyduPq7XyG1iRbmIglNi_JGXu6rtDCSI/view?usp=sharing

usage: create a droidscript app in ide :

function OnStart()
{
var servicejs=`
app.LoadPlugin("FtpServer");

var sftp;

function OnStart()
{

app.SetInForeground("SFTP","SFTP","","","high");
    sftp = app.CreateFtpServer();
    sftp.SetOnServerEvent(OnEvent);
    sftp.SetProtocol("sftp");
    sftp.SetAuth("user1", "pass1");
    sftp.Start(2222);
   
    // Notify user
    app.ShowPopup("SFTP started on port 2222");
}

function OnMessage(msg)
{
    if(msg == "stop") {
        if(sftp) sftp.Stop();
        app.StopService();
    }
}

function OnEvent(status, msg)
{
    // optional: notify main app
}
`;

app.WriteFile( "Service.js", servicejs );

    lay = app.CreateLayout("linear", "VCenter,FillXY");
    txt = app.CreateText( "", 0.4 );
    txt.SetTextSize( 22 );
    lay.AddChild( txt );

    btn = app.CreateButton("Start SFTP", 0.5);
    btn.SetOnTouch(function() {
        svc = app.CreateService("this", "this", OnServiceReady,"Persist");
        svc.SetOnMessage( OnServiceMessage );
    });
    lay.AddChild(btn);

    btnStop = app.CreateButton("Stop SFTP", 0.5);
    btnStop.SetOnTouch(function() {
        if(svc) svc.SendMessage("stop");
    });
    lay.AddChild(btnStop);

    app.AddLayout(lay);
}

function OnServiceReady()
{
    txt.SetText("Service Ready");
}

function OnServiceMessage( msg )
{
    txt.SetText( "Count: " + msg );
}

the run the app and press start SFTP.........

FTP dosent work to connect from same device......only from another device.....

sftp works from same device.....

check plugin samples docs....`

tested on : Android 16 Acode editor (very good editor) and in MAcOS VSCOE extension SFTP/FTP sync by Natizyskunk .......

the sftp server is alive while droidscript ide open.......after starting ftp server from app,you can exit that app and run another apss...it uses a service.......

HI,

In DS you can write/edit your code 

using the built-in editor or the WiFi IDE.

This plugin and DS app allows you to use other editors

that can use ftp/sftp (or have extensions to do so), 

to access the DS folder directly.

Other editors may have additional abilities (for example an AI assistant).

Regards, ah

Dear Alan,

thank you very much for clarification! 

Ok, we will know this but DroidScrit tools are enough for us at this moment.

Have a nice day.

Best regards

Dmitry

Dear Gelu,

thank you very much! You did a great job of making this feature available and publishing it. I only wanted to say about myself - I work with built-in DroidScript editor, and it's very convenient for me, but for many developers it's a really useful option.

Thank you again! Have a nice day.

Best regards

Dmitry
