can't get file transfer working. Help, please!

[Zebulon Walton]

The file transfer via USB cable is currently disabled, I think. It did work in Mobian early on but files copied to the Pinephone wound up owned by root and were not accessible to the "mobian" user unless ownership or file access bits were changed.

What I'm currently doing for file transfer is using sshfs on the PC and ssh server on the Pinephone, so to mount the phone's home directory on your PC:

Code:

sshfs mobian@pinephone-ip-address:/home/mobian /local/mount/point  #sudo not needed if you have read/write access to mount point

You can then use the command shell or file manager to copy files back and forth. When done, unmount sshfs:

Code:

fusermount -u /local/mount/point

A limitation of sshfs is that it does not support symbolic links.
