So I’m trying to move some files from my Linux desktop to my tablet. I suppose the easiest way to do it would be via USB, but it would be nice if I could do a file transfer over the wireless network. I set up the Android with a linux shell, and I’m able to ssh into my desktop with it. But when I use the Android app “andFTP,” which everyone seems to praise, to scp files, it won’t authenticate. Anyone have any idea what the issue could be?

In FTP server settings, select SFTP or SCP (not FTP or FTPS)?
I did select scp.
Anything in Linux logfiles from time of attempt, maybe /var/log/secure?
Alternately you could try Wireshark and see if you even see the connection coming in.
IDK, I’d have to go look. I ended up just moving them via USB, so I’m less motivated to figure it out right now.
