ftp when not using wifi

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please describe the change or addition you'd like to see:
Using it when not connected to wifi. For example when I'm at work without 
wifi and without usb cable. If it also worked when using g3 I could just grab 
my phones ip and sue that to connect.

Do you have any skills or resources that could be used to help with
development of the requested feature?
I have programed in several languages(including java). Though i have not 
developed with androids tools.

This is planned for inclusion in version 2.

The problem is that mobile ISPs may block incoming TCP connections (T-Mobile 
does).
The workaround is to run a proxy server that accepts connections *from* phones 
on one
side, and FTP clients on the other side, and proxies between them. This proxy 
server
is under development.

FTP Client --> Proxy <-- Phone

This would also be useful for running an FTP server while tethering, for 
example.

Count my vote for this as well. Another option would be to use a text message to
initiate a reverse connection, effectively bypassing any restrictions. This 
would
work nicely with the DynDNS app.
