From Windows, how can we open a command line on the Android filesystem?

Please elaborate. I guess I should have realized ahead of time that adding a WebDav server to Android wasn't going to change anything, where the results would have been essentially the same with _any_ server running on Android, whether they be FTP, HTTP, SMB (if rooted), or WebDav. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV Nonetheless, I ran that test just now, which had predictable results in that it worked fine to mount the entire Android filesystem as a drive letter so that DOS commands would work - but - it only works over WiFi (and not over USB, which is the goal). http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8605173dir05.jpg Here's my log file in case others wish to improve upon the process. ================================================== ========== How to mount Android filesystem as a drive letter on Windows over WiFi using a free WebDav server on Android Download and install any desired WebDav server on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.webdavserver Read basic documentation: https://www.webdavsystem.com/server/access/windows/ You can run a WebDAV, FTP, HTTP (or even SMB if you're rooted) server on Android, which you can then mount on Windows as a drive letter. http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8605173dir05.jpg WebDAV: 0. Make sure your Android device is on the local WiFi network 1. Download a WebDav server on Android 2. Start that WebDav Server on Android 3. A message says: "WebDAV server available on http://192.168.1.6:8080" Home directory: /storage/emulated/0, password disabled 4. Change WebDav Server: Settings Home Directory = Root (/) 5. On Windows, open a r/w network share using the address: http://192.168.1.6:8080 6. Or, on Windows, right click on "ThisPC" & select "Map Network Drive" (Y = \\192.168.1.6@8080\DavWWWRoot\ 7. Or, on Windows, in the command line, type: net use X: \\192.168.1.6@8080\DavWWWRoot\ Any of those commands will mount the root of the Android file system as a drive letter on Windows, over WiFI so that you can run DOS commands on that Android file system over WiFi. http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8605173dir05.jpg But this won't work with USB, which is the desired goal. ================================================== ========== |

Arlen,
If it's not obvious to you worthless vermin yet, I want to _alienate_ you. Hey! Thats funny, I want you to be an alien to. Preferrably *far* away. :-) I want you worthless chitchat vermin to just go away. Yeah, you already made that clear. You're really trying to bully me for all you are worth, aren't you ? But for some reason it still doesn't seem to register with you that that method doesn't work with me. How come ? Why do you worthless vermin insist on infesting a technical thread? Why do you keep insisting on spamming multiple newsgroups with your contrived "I'm a noob, give me *everything*" questions - only to than wrap that leeched info into some ill-contrived "tutorial" sprinkles and post it with your, and *only* your name above it ? And why do you keep doing that while clearly refusing to put any efort into finding the answers to such questions yourself ? *Do I need to be more clear with you Rudy Wieser?* Yes please. Explain to me why your questions do not show you having done your "what could the solution be?" homework yourself. And no, I do not expect you to find the full answer/solution. But I *do* expect you to come up with a bit more than nothing. *Especially* when I had the (dis)pleasure to find out that some of the answers to your questions only cost me 30 seconds if googleing^wsearching for them. The fact that you did not find them really speaks volumes. And, other that your ass-pullery fantasy accusations and claims, the above *is* verifiable. Or 'facts' as you regulary claim you only speak. As for worthless ? What do you call a beggar knocking at doors claiming to be hungry and asking for fish, but refusing to learn how to fish for himself ? Worse yet: You attack the fishermen who got wise to you and are telling you you are not getting any anymore (and are warning other fishermen about it). So, by al means just keep on posting your ad-hominem rants. As mentioned, they serve my goals much more than they ever will do yours. :-) Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. Posts of several people who do not agree with your method of contributing to these newsgroups, and you attack them all. There is an old joke: News announcer: "motorists on {important road} are adviced to keep to the right, as a ghostrider is signalled there" Ghostrider: "Just one ? All of them !" You're that ghostrider, kid. Going the wrong way and refusing/unable to see it. :-( P.p.s. I see you are pretty-much templating your answers^wrants. I see the phrase "This isn't my first rodeo " pop up in several other of your posts (like to Char and Wolf). Smart move. :-) |

Arlen,
Hi Frank Slootweg, You're the only one who posted to this Windows thread who stands a chance of helping us come to a working technically competent solution on Windows, Lol ! You think you are some kind of royalty ? If not, do you maybe have a split personality that you are actually aware of ? If not, who the heck is that "us" you are talking about ? You and who else ? @Frank: Just a warning: He will pump you for all knowledge about he subject you have, and than some. Please do take notice of (the lack of) his contribution toward the actual solution. Make sure you *help* him, and are not just playing an unpayed employee (gofering for the boss). @Arlen: Once they arrive, the thread is ruined for everyone. Its already ruined for most of us the moment you start it. I just serve to "poison the well" for newcomers. But hey, You *could* try to make your threads less attractive to us "vermin". You already know how. You only have to do it. Heck, you might even discover that you will get (much) more help that way, enabeling you to enjoy the feeling of success having solved, with just a few minor hints and suggestions, your own problem(s) ... And I tell you a secret: I *still* enjoy being able to successfully finish a (self imposed) problem. even after all those years. Nonwithstanding, or maybe because of, that I often spend hours, if not days googeling my ass off, finding tidbits of info that I than have to piece together. I'm trying to move the technical ball forward, which isn't easy. That is most likely because you have a singular "only when my specific requirements are met its acceptable" focus, but no will to actually put effort into researching possibilities towards it. In other words: You sit back and expect/demand others to present such solutions - matching your exact specifications - to you on a silver platter. And yes, as long as you lean back in your chair waiting for others to come up with your answers you won't be moving forward *at all*. Duh! But to say that that laying-back waiting "isn't easy" is a bit overdone, don't you think ? :-) Ofcourse, seeing that you have had *FOUR* possible solutions and see you cast them aside doesn't make anyone think that a fifth will not go the same way - wasting all their hard work (always *their* hard work, not yours). Take a wild guess why most people here shun you, kid. but which does have proprietary solutions so we _know_ it's possible *Everything* is possible. Its just a question of how much resources (energy, time, money, etc) you are willing to spend on it. In your case starting with an USB "packet sniffer" and than *lots* of time trying to reverse-engeneer the used protocols. (if that ain't technical info I don't know what is) But do you even know what "proprietary" means ? And if you do, are you really unaware that anyone providing you with a solution which would mimic that proprietary method could well fall on the wrong side of the Law ? .... which "possibly" is also why you won't find any third-party commercial or GitHub solutions to it floating around. Did you ever think of that, Arlen ? Regards, Rudy Wieser |

Arlen,
*You cowardly bullying vermin prove you insist on your _right to troll_* o Ken Blake [From: Ken Blake ] o Wolf K From: [Wolf K ] o Danny DeVito [From: Danny DeVito ] o Char Jackson [From: Char Jackson ] o Rudy Wieser [From: "R.Wieser" ] o Sam Hill [From: Sam Hill ] You have a growing list of people who all, in your mind, are against you (and currently only a single one you seem to like) How many more does it take to realize that *you* might be the problem, and not all those others ? (which is what I tried to convey with my ghostrider "joke") Thats psychology 101 for you, kid. You do not need to have a 120 IQ to figure that out. Other than Frank Slootweg, who did bring technical value to the potluck picnic that is Usenet, I see you already fully forgot about the contributions Paul and others made to your previous thread. Are you really *that* short of memory (my guess: yes. They are only usefull - and remembering worthy - as long as they have something you want). And by the way, you are throwing that "technical value" blurb around. Care to describe what it means (to you) ? Or is it just one of those "bull**** bingo" words with which you try to exclude everything you do not want to hear ? (my guess: yes, its indeed exactly that). Regards, Rudy Wieser |

As long as he somewhat behaves, I might continue, but as soon as he does his usual first-blood drawing spiel, that's the end of me being nice. Most times, it only takes one response to get to the first-blood drawing stage. This time is an exception. Well, you can't 'win' them all! :-) Take care. |

[...] While this question is a _hard_ technical question to answer, the good news is that there are _proprietary_ solutions that allow Windows to map the sdcard of the Android file system to a drive letter, which means we can then run DOS commands on that mounted file system. e.g., MTPDrive, which means an overall general-use non-proprietary solution should also be possible. Yes, I am aware of solutions such as MTPdrive, but since these - as least the ones I saw - are payware and you don't like/want payware, I didn't mention them. [...] |

I'm really easy to figure out, Frank Slootweg, because I'm consistent: o When you act like an adult, Frank, I treat you as an adult. o When you act like a child, Frank, I mirror your intent. See? Easy peasy. As I said, I've been on Usenet for decades, where my methods are honed. My goal is to alienate children - so that they pollute some other thread. Back on topic, I've partially solved the difficult age-old problem of mounting an MTP device as a drive letter on Windows (it was solved on Linux by default). There are only two or three people on these combined newsgroups that _can_ help solve this difficult problem, Frank. I'll bring up the technical issues separately as this is getting long. |

It's really a very simple dynamic. Frank, To reiterate what _you_ said, and what I said... 1. You erroneously "think", that "it only takes one response" "to get to first blood" ... which is how a child thinks. 2. I have proved many times that my strategy is to funnel you into acting like an adult - where - I do that the adult way. o When you act like an adult, I treat you as an adult. o When you act like a child, I treat you as a child. What's funny, is that when _you_ act like a child, and hence, when I appropriately treat you as a child, you do NOT see that dynamic (even though I've been doing it for _years_ with you Frank Slootweg). I've _explained_ this _many_ times to you, Frank Slootweg. Yet, you _still_ think like a child, Frank Slootweg. A mere child. You _think_ it's all about "first blood"; yet you don't _see_ anything. You can't seem to _comprehend_ this very simple dynamic, Frank: o When _you_ act like a child - I treat you like a child. o When _you_ act like an adult - I treat you like an adult. Your comment above about 'first blood' shows you didn't comprehend even a dynamic _that_ simple. That's sad, Frank. Because it shows you own the mind of a child; not that of an adult. You can't even comprehend that it's _you_ that I respond to. o You only see the response - but you can't comprehend your actions. That's how a child thinks, Frank. The child doesn't see "cause and then effect". The child only sees "effect". When _you_ comprehend I'm a *mirror*, Frank, then you'll comprehend. You'll comprehend that I respond to _your_ posts. o If you act like a child - you will see "second blood" o If you act like an adult - you won't see any of that When you _comprehend_ that simple dynamic - you'll be an adult, Frank. |

Hi Frank Slootweg, Thank you for comprehending that I am always seeking *universal* solutions. By that, I mean solutions that benefit _everyone_, not just one person. As such, any payware tests are mere examples, to prove the concept. The MTPDrive crippleware had two advantages in that regard: o MTPDrive _proved_ it's possible to map Android to a drive over USB o MTPDrive actually worked, for free, for "some" DOS commands Since adults comprehend detail, this last point above is critical! What it means is that MTPDrive actually is a universal solution, of sorts. By that, I mean it runs the "dir /s/a/l/on/b" command to inventory files! There were two limitations of MTPDrive crippleware that I saw yesterday: o It doesn't seem to see the internal sdcard (only the external sdcard) http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6181360dir01.jpg o It limits a DOS "copy" to 30 files per session (but it allows a "dir") http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8315262dir03.jpg I realize, Frank Slootweg, that you are adult enough to comprehend that we could _always_ have mapped the Android file system to a drive letter over the Wi-Fi network (i.e., not using USB), so I appreciate that you understood that from the start (e.g., you noted SMB servers on Android have inherent port limitations in non-root applications). As a test though, I did run the "ftpfuse" command, since I was hoping to find a hidden trick that allows me to use ftpuse over USB (if possible). For some reason, ftpuse v2.2 failed to map the network drive. Have you ever seen such a thing? (The FTP server works fine otherwise.)

If there's someone else out there who wants to test how to get FTPUse to mount their Android device as a drive letter, over WiFi, maybe they can let me know if it worked for them. TIA. Meanwhile, I'll move on to trying to solve the _difficult_ question posed in this thread, where only one adult here (and one elsewhere) has added any on-topic value (the rest were trolls from worthless little children). |
