@hfpop: No idea, I've *never* used FTP to communicate with an eInk device, always scp/sftp.
I do build busybox w/ ftpd support, but I'm not quite sure I've ever actually tried it besides just making sure it accepted incoming connections
.
EDIT: Turns out I do have ftpd enabled on my end, and it still works, yay!
And I'm not seeing anything weird with hidden folders?

(Yes, in the time it took me to actually install an ftp client, I got synced the latest FW update
, so yeah, that was over WiFI).
