Point being there are lot choices, find combination that works for you. But also maybe I am just more familiar with it. Though as I point out Ghost Commander works really well as FTP client in combination with tcpsvd on computer side.Īnd way back to using ES as FTP server on phone, well Filezilla on computer is fine, but MX has Midnight Commander installed though Thunar is the default file manager. I am probably doing something wrong, but Ghost Commander seems bit more hassle once connected. I change my mind, for samba, like AndSMB better as samba client on phone end. Oh will mention I also played more with samba. Its easier for me to have server on phone and client on computer. I truly hate squinting and poking at tiny screen with my finger. I didnt try to also use scrcpy at same time.

I will say the downside of having client on the phone is you have to interact with client on phone to move stuff. Opened Ghost Commander and easy peasy to move files.

Found on MX its better to put it in the /home/user directory, but Puppy is run in root so could put it anywhere I suppose.īut set up a no internet wifi adhoc network with create_ap, connected with phone wifi. And so tiny, its trivial either way.Īnyway I created the /ftp storage directory. No Busybox so only way to get tcpsvd is to install the ipsvd package, there is no separate tcpsvd pkg in the Debian repositories. I cant hotspot or native tether on my phone, those apps are locked. I am using MX, mostly cause it had create_ap already set up from some prior use.
