USB file transfer question
#1
Thanks to the 5.9 kernel I'm once again able to see my phone (UBPorts CE with the upgraded main board) when I plug it into a computer, which is great. But when I try to transfer files from the computer to the phone I can't open them on the phone (I get various errors, depending on the file type).

At first I thought the files were being corrupted somehow by the transfer, but I just realized that's not the problem. The files are being transferred over with root ownership and permissions, instead of mobian. I know I can go in afterwards with chown to change the ownership to mobian, and then the files can be opened on the phone, but it would be nicer if they could just transfer over with mobian ownership from the start.

Does anyone know how I can transfer files to the phone with mobian ownership already set up?

Thanks!
