File transfer with TightVNC 2.x

[popy2k14]

Describe the bug
I have tried droidVNC-NG on Android 14 (API 34) and it has correct permissions to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
With TightVNC viewer 1.3.10 the file transfer is working and not grayed out.
With TightVNC viewer 2.8.85 or RealVNC viewer the file transfer is working and IS grayed out, so not working.

To Reproduce
see above

Expected Behavior
File transfer also working with newer viewer versions.

Logs/Backtraces

Your environment (please complete the following information):

• droidVNC-NG version: 2.12.0
• Android version: 14 (SDK 34)
• Client-side OS and version: Windows 11 24H2
• VNC client and version: TightVNC viewer 1.3.10 / 2.8.85

Additional context
Is this a known issue that with newer TightVNC versions file transfer is not working?

Yes, this is a known issue that is also documented in the README, see https://github.com/bk138/droidVNC-NG/blob/master/README.md#features ;-)

It basically boils down to the fact that TightVNC file transfer was rewritten for v2.0; this needs support from the underlying server lib we use, see LibVNC/libvncserver#624

I'll leave this open as a tracking issue.
