Large app data after few uses #263

The data size of primitive ftpd ballooned to 400mb after a few uses. If primitive ftpd keeps some cache, is there anyway to clear it?

That is interesting. If you use features

it stores files in private app directory. Except log files those files should be deleted automatically.

Can you have a look in private app folder to see what files and directories are there? It is located in: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.primftpd/files You should be able to access it through ftp/sftp.

I use the QuickShare option very often (btw does it support sharing multiple files?), and I think the large app data could be because prim ftpd copying the file into internal storage and run a ftp server on it. I cannot replicate the issue even when I tried to send a big file, it seems like the file gets deleted afterwards. Maybe prim ftpd crashed (or got shut down by Android; battery saver ftw) and didn't delete the temporary file.

If old QuickShare files are found during startup, they are deleted automatically. Recently I've seen a sample where log file was ~400 mb in size. You should look into that directory and see what really eats up space.

Currently QuickShare supports just one file. I could look into it ...

I'll be splitting the QuickShare thing into another issue.

I will come back to this if I ever encountered this issue again. This just feels like a freak issue caused by some coincidence.
