Description

I am using your library to upload photos in android app. When device uses Wi-Fi everything is fine, photos are uploaded to FTP server. But my customer wants this app to be able to do the same when Wi-Fi in app is turned off and device gets net from personal computer(Windows) connected to the device via USB cable. I was able to connect device using "gnirehtet":

When I use gnirehtet my app uploads only firsth photo to FTP server and hangs on getting reply code at the end of "_storeFile" function in FTPClient class of AppacheCommonsNet. When I use WiFi everything is ok, the problem is only when I use reverse tethering. I checked other reverse thetering solutions and I met the same problem.
 
 
Maybe I do something wrong but I think that your library may not support reverse tethering. Could you consider expanding your library with support for reverse tethering?
