method to install files on PPP from linux PC
#1
Wish to move at least contacts file to PPP.

I tried jumpdrive (pp version) on an sd card and nothing.  My linux pc file managers do not even see the PPP

Anyone have a breakthrough?

I enable ssh on my PinePhones and then use scp as my phone is generally my network hub (tether) as well.
Other times I may remove the SDcard from the phone and put it in the PC temporarily.

I did get a file transfer to PPP made from a linux PC using kdeconnect app.  That app needs to be running on the phone and the PC.  It was a bit of trial-n-error so I can't layout the specific steps.  My contact list is now in phonebook on PPP.

I am not using SD card.  There is none installed. I am running on system memory.  In my opinion, an SD card is primarily for extra data storage not for running the sysytem.  Why is there system memory if you need to run from an SD?

SD cards are great for testing before installing, and good for rescuing a broken installation, also they can easily be moved to another device.

Though it does run faster from the eMMC.

yes, I did find ssh could be used to transfer files
