I changed the If-Then at line 43 and compiled it, and now I can use FTP.

I wonder,after I used the Aeric's source code for editing Thai edition. Why the bridge can be used Ftp service again?

Not on later editions of Android. It was removed because Android no longer allows Store Apps to access the entire file store except for a few exceptions where it can be demonstrated as necessary for the apps primary purpose.

Manage all files on a storage device | Android Developers

If you compile and side load your own version then you cn re-enable FTP using this permission

Manage External Storage - access internal external storage >= SDK 30

Google seems intent on dumbing down Android to the point of uselessnes to me. I think of my devices as little computers and I want a proper file system on them, not the limited tortuous things that Google offers and that I don't understand, ContentChooser, FileProvider, ... o_O I'm getting old...
