For example, accessing the camera folder of the phone takes very long (several minutes) when there are lots of pictures. This often causes a timeout in the client unless the timeout value is extended.

primitive FTPD version: 7.0 (code: 63) Phone: Oneplus 3T OS: LineageOS for microG 18.1 (Android 11) Protocol: SFTP Storage type option: plain old filesystem Client: Filezilla 3.63.0

Yes, that is known. What storage type do you use? With SAF that is very slow. It is better with the others. This is caused by Android APIs. There is not much this app can do about it.

The approach Google wants us to use here is:

select pictures you want to transfer in some Photos App
share it with this app (in this case QuickShare works well, which launches a server serving those shared files)
