Description
Hi I've found this on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5097389/can-androids-internal-memory-be-mapped-to-a-drive-letter-on-pc , but not sure exactly what it can do or is or what's needed to make it work (to ssh / sftp to droids)
installed with the winget command 👍 Whilst the documentation is comprehensive, I'm not sure if
- I need to create a tunnel to connect to my devices (usb connected rooted usb debug s20 android 13, and usb non-rooted oppo) re jump hosts
- How to identify the name of my device, or it's port
- Whether any apps are needed on the device to start the connection, or any available to help with this step (maybe I should try one of the GUIs mentioned)
- whether
adb shellcommands (and similar) can be issued to do any of the connecting / querying...
I searched a few stores, and first grabbed SSHDaemon from F-Droid. This tells you to get winscp or filezilla.
Does sshfs-win work with this?
I've started the ssh server on my droid (with sshdaemon) and have ip and port, user and password, and folder mapped 👍
With windows map network drive I tried using ip:port as server, then using \\ip:port, but always get cannot access , even when credentials provided
ping ip returns packets, whereas ping ip:port does not find host (perhaps expected).
💡 Using WinSCP the key signature device authentication prompt was received, and the file-system is mounted 😍
But still no drive letter assigned 🤦♂️
D'oh!

Research direction
Start with the project's README and its linked Using Jump Hosts section, then review the reported SSHDaemon, WinSCP, and Windows map-network-drive workflow. Done means the documentation clearly explains prerequisites, device and port discovery, tunnel or app requirements, and whether an SSHFS connection can receive a Windows drive letter.
