Hi all,

We have two smartphones, a Samsung S10 and a Samsung A53. On both phones
I installed a SSH server. ón my pc (Windows 10 Pro) I have an FTP
client, CuteFTP 9.3. With this client I can make a connection with the
A53 phone, after starting up the SSH server. Very easy!
However, with the S10 phone it won't work. The same SSH server, a
different user name and password. If I try to make a connection, there
is an error.
I wrote it in usenet and got a lot of answers.
Thanks you all very much.

Now I'm almost there!

On the S10 phone I removed the SSH server and installed a FTP server.
And this works, apart from the fact that there is a problem with the
directory where the photo's are.

I installed Total Commander File Explorer on the phone and found out
where the photo's are:

/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera

I programmed this in my FTP client on the PC, but it comes with an error:

What may be wrong?

Are you still "in" the FTP client at that point?

Yes

Still connected to the
server?

No, the connection was closed.

Can you either enter FTP commands manually or use the GUI to
explore the phone's file system?

No.

Try the following ...

PWD
to see which folder you're in on the phone

CWD /
to change into the root folder

LS
to list the content of the current folder

Where should I type this in?

if you see "storage" as a folder, move down one at a time with

CD storage  (then emulated, then 0, then DCIM etc)

note that folder/filenames are case sensitive.

On the phone I discovered that the images are in /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera. This is what I entered in the FTP client.

If the connection has closed, you can't, unless you can convince client
and/or server to keep the connection open?

On the phone I discovered that the images are in /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera. This is what I entered in the FTP client.

I think it is likely android permissions not letting the server see the emulated storage, see how it goes with the github version ...

I just downloaded it on my pc and will copy it to the phone. And install it. I'm curious.

Notice that you are installing an ssh server and connecting with an ftp
client. You are asking to connect with different protocols.


Notice that in Linux parlance, "sftp" refers in fact to SSH protocol
used to transfer files, not to the FTP protocol.

sftp — OpenSSH secure file transfer

In the Linux world, running an ssh server to transfer files is often
done out of the box. So, it would be interesting to do it in Android too.

So, when you use a clever ftp client to connect to an ssh server to
transfer files, you must make sure that you are telling the client to in
fact use ssh, not ftp.

Now I'm almost there!
