You probably see your phone in File Explorer and *only* in File Explorer. If your phone is a Windows *drive* (or a Network Share), you could - for example - open a file on your phone with a Windows program - for example Notepad, *without* first copying the file to your Windows system. I.e. you can not open a file which resides on your phone. You can only copy it to your Windows system and *then* open it. This difference might seem semantics, but it is a big difference in functionality. Without it, programs on the Windows system do not have direct access to the files on your phone. For example you can't make backup (backup, not just copy) of the files on the phone, by using a (generic) backup program on your Windows system. [1] Old Android devices might still have (USB) 'Mass Storage Mode', which *does* give a Windows drive (letter).

Hi Frank Slootweg (cc, Wolf K), Thank you Frank, for being only one of two adults on this entire newsgroup who _understood_ the topic (Paul included, having posted elsewhere). Even though this thread has tons of posts from the child-like: o *Ken Blake* [From: Ken Blake <Ken@invalid.news.com>] o *Wolf K* [From: Wolf K <wolfmac@sympatico.ca>] o *Danny DeVito* [From: Danny DeVito <invalid@invalid.invalid>] o *Char Jackson* [From: Char Jackson <none@none.invalid>] o *Rudy Wieser* [From: "R.Wieser" <address@not.available>] o *Sam Hill* [From: Sam Hill <sam@example.com>] * etc. Not _one_ of those child-like trolls appears to have _understood_ even the _simplest_ of technical problems posed in this thread. *All the ignorant children like Wolf K & Rudy Wieser _can_ do, is troll.* Only you and I are intelligent enough, not that it takes a lot of intelligence to comprehend the subject line - but only you and I seem to have comprehended what the problem set is. (And Paul, elsewhere.) > [1] Old Android devices might still have (USB) 'Mass Storage Mode', > which *does* give a Windows drive (letter). This is a good point, which you and I both know, where, oh, somewhere around Android 4.4 or so, things changed such that what we _want_ to do is no longer easy to do. The best any of us can come up with, so far, is to use the proprietary solution I outlined elsewhere in this thread, which allows "some" Windows DOS commands to work unrestricted (but not all DOS commands). In summary, only you and I (and Paul) have shown that we comprehend the technical issue here; the rest are simply proving they're children who don't have the capacity to understand even the _slightest_ of technical issues.

Don't flatter yourself! In this case, for totally random (non-)reasons, you haven't drawn first blood. But in another thread, you fsck-ed up again and instead of *reading* and *trying* to *learn* from what people post, your threw yet another tantrum and uttered yet another slew of misdirected and inappropriate insults (fool, childish, you have no concept of advanced use, you'll never graduate above, you won't grow mentally, rigid mindset, Classic fifth-grade drivel, etc., etc.). So you - and *only* you - switch at random between - somewhat - adult behaviour and acting like a total jerk/creep. Which shows the need to re-issue the challenge, which no doubt you will dodge *again*: [Rewind, repeat dodged challenge:] 'Arlen', name *one*, just *one* person in these groups who agrees with *any* viewpoint which you raise in one of the zillions of threads you (think you) 'author' (and *prove* that with a verifiable cite). [Sounds of audience not holding their breath.]

Frank Slootweg, What you fail to comprehend, is the simplest of facts. I'm a mirror Frank. A mirror. o When you post like a child, I treat you as a child. o When you post like an adult, I treat you as an adult. I do that tactically - every single time you post - Frank Slootweg. I take _each_ post on its merit - since I'm trying to funnel you into acting like an adult, Frank Slootweg. There's a consistent strategy - and tactics that fit that strategy. Frank - this isn't my first rodeo on Usenet. o Worthless trolls like Rudy Wieser & Wolf K & Char Jackson abound o They're cowardly bullies who haven't graduated past fifth grade Most of you use what I call the 'chitchat' model of Usenet behavior. By that I mean you post 99% to other people's thread.\ Most of what you post is sheer drivel, worthless in and of itself. You have nothing whatsoever invested in any thread coming to an answer. o I don't use the chitchat model. o I use what can be called the Q&A model. In the Q&A model, I ask a question and I work toward the answer.

The fact that they don't even comprehend the topic doesn't stop them. They have _nothing_ invested in the technical outcome. Nothing. They're just vermin trolls, all. Once these vermin arrive at the potluck Usenet picnic, it's ruined. o You can swat away the vermin, or, o You can pack up and leave the picnic. Those are your _only_ choices, Frank Slootweg, once the vermin arrive. The vermin like Wolf K, Char Jackson, Ken Blake, Good Guy, and particularly that vermin Wolf K feel that they must _prove_ their right to infest any potluck picnic with their worthless posts. Rudy Wieser just _proved_ what I say, since I only speak facts, Frank: These vermin are who ruin Usenet for the adults that are still left. o *Wolf K*, *Danny DeVito*, *Char Jackson*, *Ken Blake*, o *Rudy Wieser*, *Sam Hill*, *joe*, *Good Guy*, etc. But, mostly, the vile vermin who can't stop themselves from swarming, are: o Rudy Wieser o Wolf K o Char Jackson Every statement I make is valid & verified by their actions in this thread.

I didn't see Char Jackson's post, until now, as this morning I turned off my filters for another reason, where I've _never_ seen Char Jackson _ever_ answer a technical question when I didn't have him filtered out. Hence, it's kind of funny that Char Jackson says I don't supply details, when Char Jackson has _never_ once answered a single technical question. *All Char Jackson _can_ do, is troll.* Nonetheless, I have something to report on FTPUse for Frank Slootweg. Here's a snippet from my log file on FTPuse, for the record... The Android FTP server (v 1.32) I used was set up in its default mode: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserver> o Network interface (o)WiFi (_)Ethernet (_)Mobile network (_)Bluetooth PAN (_)Loopback (127.0.0.1) (_)All o Port = 2221 o Passive Ports = 2300-2399 o Anonymous user = [x] o User name = francis o User password = francis o Home directory (_)Root (/) (o)SdCard (_)DCIM (_)Custom folder (_)Ext. SdCard o Read only = [_] o Show hidden files = [_] o Energy save mode = [_] o High priority service = [x] o Show server details = [x] The FPTUse command I used on a Windows 10 Admin window was (verbatim): ftpuse X: 192.168.1.7 francis /USER:francis /PORT:2221 /debug ftpuse X: 192.168.1.7 francis /USER:francis /PORT:2221 /nopassive /debug Reboot 1: Most of the time FTPuse simply fails: o <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=5451129dir022.jpg> Reboot 2: But once in a great while it actually appears to work ... but ... even then, _nothing_ shows up as a drive letter as a result. :( o <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4121239dir021.jpg> Reboot 3: And even then, FTPuse fails the next time: o <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8726712dir023.jpg> I've mostly lost my patience with FTPUse, because o I already have plenty of freeware FTP-mounting solutions that work o All I ever cared about, for FTPUse, was that it works for _others_ I don't usually deal with firewalls, where I turned off Windows Defender (at least I think I did) for these experiments, but again, this isn't for me so it really doesn't matter because if I can't do it out of the box, neither will others be able to, which is the whole point, let's not forget. Start > Settings > Update and security > Windows security > Firewall and network protection > (everything is turned off) <http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=9234464dir024.jjpg.jpg> I'm sure FTPuse works for others, which is all that matters to me. Since FTPUse seems to be flaky for me, my tentative conclusion is: o Don't use FTPUse if you already have another solution that works But this FTPUse talk is relatively useless because o FTPUse isn't the real problem here anyway o The real problem is that we don't have freeware to mount over USB These are the only two problems I care about to solve for this thread: o How to run any Windows command on Android over USB using _freeware_ o Freeware to mount Android as a drive letter over WiFi using SMB

Ken, > Since it looks like it will never happen and I not only have to > read his messages that the two of you quote and your tirades > against him, I'm killfiling you both to end it. I do not know which newsgroup reader you are using, but a few weeks ago I posted a question about how, in outlook express, to suppress a *thread* instead of just a single person. And that works quite nicely. I see a new thread being started, but once set to ignore I do not see any message in it, regardles of who the poster is. It allows me to ignore a conversation, while still being able to see some of the well meaning responders to it in other threads. Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. I do not blame you for killfiling though. I can imagine it must look like nothing but a nuissance to anyone not involved.

I understand your point and you're of course free to do as you see fit. Having said that, some comments: 1. In most (all?) newsreaders, one can mark a thread as read. If you do that as soon as 'Arlen Holder' starts a new thread, you won't see anything, i.e. not out quibbles. 2. You may want to check if Agent has a 'Ignore thread started by poster' feature. If so you can do 1. automatically. 3. There are many, many others (than R. Wieser and me) who respond to 'Arlen Holder' (see his recent list(s) of 'vermin'). Do you want to killfile all those posters?

Paul already confirmed that Agent can do this ('Ignore thread').
Thanks, Paul.

I checked my old notes and Agent *does* seem to have a 'Ignore thread
started by poster' feature.
This is a partial quote from a 2011 posting in news.software.readers
[1]:
<quote>
In Agent 6.0, killfiling "JohnDoe" and choosing as Action "Ignore
Thread" means (after setting my View to 'not ignored') I see nothing of
his posts and nothing of those who respond to him.
</quote>
So Ken, it seems that in Agent you can killfile 'Arlen''s threads
completely (i.e. also any and all responses), without killfiling us (R.
Wieser and me) in other threads.

Ken Blake did not respond (while he posted in several other threads).
I don't know why. Did the solution not work? Is his problem different
from what I (we?) think? Other?
Anyway, without feedback we can't help him. Pity.
But I hope this wasn't/isn't a case of a poster telling how others
should (not) behave.

But I still don't see a problem. I can open the files from Explorer, one at a time only of course, but since I don't see any point in messing with the files directly _on the phone_, I don't see that as a serious problem. If I do mess with the photo, and then Save the altered photo, it's saved on my HDD, which from my POV is where it belongs. Anyhow, if I really want to alter the picture on the phone, the photo viewer has that facility built in. I've never used it. My photos are good enough to share without tweaking. :-) BTW, the photo viewer has a slew of other capabilities, the only one I use regularly is Share via email. So while I see there's a functional issue here, I don't see a problem. Maybe a puzzle, to solve just for the hell of it.

Consider the backup example (note *example*, not the only scenario) I mentioned (but you snipped). Say you have a phone with 80GB of storage (16 internal, 64 SD-card). If you want to backup that phone, you'll need to copy upto 80GB to your Windows system, even if perhaps only 10% (8GB) has been changed. You also need upto 80GB of temporary space on your Windows system. Only *after* that upto 80GB copy, a (real) backup program can - try to - figure out what has changed and backup only the 8GB to the backup device (incremental backup). If OTOH, your phone was presented as a (real) Windows drive (or Network Share), you could have made a backup of your Android filesystems, the same way you do for any Windows file system. There are many, many other examples where *direct* file access is desired or even needed/mandatory. FWIW, because all methods to get a (real) Windows drive or Network Share to access an Android file system suck in major ways, I've given up on this and have only solved *my* major issue - backup - by doing things in the opposite direction, i.e. the Android system does the incremental backup to a Network Share.

I don't see a "need" to back up the whole phone, since I copy photos/videos ASAP after taking them, often within an hour or so. The email merely duplicates what arrives on the PC. If I mail from the phone, I may send a copy to myself, but very few of emails are that important. > You also need upto 80GB of temporary space on your Windows system.

Sure, the back-up issue is a plausible scenario, except that I don't use the phone for anything other than calls and photography, plus news and a handful of neat apps [1]. No music or movies or games etc. And as I said, I copy (backup) all new stuff to my PC box at least once a week, and usually within an hour or so after taking the photos. So I don't see a need to back up the phone. In fact, now that I've lived with 64GB SD storage, I feel that's more than I want. But smaller SD cards are getting almost impossible to find, so... As for backups of our PCs, that's handled automatically while we sleep. > FWIW, because all methods to get a (real) Windows drive or Network > Share to access an Android file system suck in major ways, I've given up > on this and have only solved *my* major issue - backup - by doing things > in the opposite direction, i.e. the Android system does the incremental > backup to a Network Share. That's may turn out to be a useful tip, FFFR. Best wishes, [1]: If you like astronomy, you may like APOD (Astronomy Photo Of the Day).

For your use, backup indeed isn't an issue, provided you don't mind the 'risk' of 'losing' your "handful of neat apps" (i.e. knowing which ones you had and where/how you got them) or/and their settings/data. However many people *do* care about losing their apps, their app settings, their app data, etc.. "The Real Bev to the Central Desk, please!" :-) > As for backups of our PCs, that's handled automatically while we sleep. You *sleep*!? What an utter waste of time *that* is!
