Add FTP access to Panda Touch #98

Is there a way to access panda touch through FTP so that we can access the USB key remotely?

I suspect FTP has too many security issues leaving it vulnerable to attack =

  1. Data sent in plain text: FTP transmits usernames, passwords, and data without encryption, making it vulnerable to eavesdropping, sniffing, and interception.
  2. Weak authentication: FTP uses plain text passwords, which can be easily compromised through brute-force attacks or password cracking.
  3. Lack of encryption: FTP does not provide built-in encryption for data transfer, leaving sensitive information exposed to tampering and interception.

FTP is available directly from the printer (port 990 (implicit ftp), user: bblp, password: access code) so wanted to have it also available when using panda touch to access the USB key.
