Hi,
I'm having trouble using the WiFi transfer plugin to share whole folders in Android 13. It works fine if I share some individual files, and sharing whole folders also work fine in the same environment when using a phone running Androind 8. I searched for similar reports and only could find a couple of them (viewtopic.php?p=394958#p394958, https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=389276#p389276) but the steps proposed in them won't fix my issue.
To reproduce the issue:
Long-press a folder in Total Commander (storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera in my case) to open the context menu,
Select either the "Send to" or "Send to */*" option,
Choose "Send via WiFi (Total Commander)" in the apps list,
The web server is properly created and can be accessed from a computer connected to the same network but,
Trying to use any of the links to download as a ZIP archive produces an HTTP 404 status code with message "No Files To Send!"
Trying to navigate inside the selected folder produces the same status code with message "Not found".
In rare cases, after (unsuccessfully) trying to share a whole folder, stopping the server and then sharing a few individual files from the same folder, the web server would show both the folder and the individual files (!). I can then navigate inside the folder and see the *full* list of files, but using the links to download as ZIP will still produce the 404 error with "No Files To Send!" message. Also, trying to download individual files from the list only succeeds for the actual files selected to be shared.
I can see the WiFi plugin does not have the permission to access the phone file system, but I can't find a way to manually grant that access (there are countless tutorials to do it, but the steps shown in them are not reproducible in Android 13).
Any tips on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
