> I once had to transfer files that were downloaded on my phone to a work laptop that couldn't access the external internet and no access to external storage. I installed Termux on my Android phone, dropped to the linux terminal, installed http-server and spun up a server on the local network. I was then able to download the files I needed off of my phone.
I don't get it, why didn't you plug in a USB cable?
It's so mondbogglibg what we still use it. With every phone becoming a camera phone, it's unusual NOT to have hungreds or even thousands of 2-3MB photos on your phone. But try to copy your Camera folder on a PC, - and Win Explorer acts like it has a heart attack! And it hasn't improved in entire freaking decade!
even remember a time when my galaxy s4 mini would ask me how it should represent itself when connected via usb; also drivedroid to emulate a cdrom drive with an downloaded .iso in order to boot older computers that don't know how to usb.
maybe i have been spoiled by the real computer in my pocket experience of custom rom's.
