Hi Herbert,
On *just* the sub-topic tangent of transferring files between platforms...
You've helped me a lot so if you want, I can walk you through how to
transfer a file from Android to the PC using WebDav instead of FTP.
With WebDAV, (almost) the entire Android file system is a Windows drive.
It's not full & complete root access as it's read only, not writeable root:
But you can use the full Windows file explorer GUI on Android like I do:
File Manager has permission
My Files has permission
Permissions are the same
Both sdcards mounted
Mount the entire filesystem
Each sdcard is a drive letter
FOSS general purpose solution
Free Android WebDAV servers
Mount sdcards read & write
As Windows drive letters
Over Wi-Fi on your home LAN
Since I have over a thousand apps installed on my 64GB Galaxy, most of my
user data is on the sd card so I have two free WebDav servers installed,
where one serves up the internal storage & the other serves teh sd card.
Here are some free WebDAV servers that I've tested for the Android team.

Let me know if you need assistance. We can start a separate thread on how
to mount Android onto Windows for read/write access to the user partition.
