Description

Hi, last year we talked about rudimentary tools to write to the external sd card using the API here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/112187690141583660341/posts/a7vMDeZUENs
I am just opening this here to track it and so it doesn't get forgotten.

Something like termux-cp, termux-mv and termux-rm could be implemented into the API and the Java app can then do the proper calls to Android API and copy, move or delete the files.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing API entry points and the Java app's Android API calls. Define the scope and behavior for termux-cp, termux-mv, and termux-rm on an external SD card, then verify that each requested file operation works through the API.
