I installed the SSHelper in the samsung C7 mobile and connected with ssh to the port 2222 from my ubunut 18.04 laptop i open the sdcard in a terminal here is:

Code:

u0_a206@msm8953:/data/data/com.arachnoid.sshelper/home/SDCard/test

Now i want to rsync the folder test in the mobile with the /store/stuff/test folder form my laptop i run this commmand inside the mobile test folder:

Code:

u0_a206@msm8953:/data/data/com.arachnoid.sshelper/home/SDCard/test $rsync -avr /store/stuff/test/ ./

get the error:

Code:

rsync: change_dir "/store/stuff/test" failed: No such file or directory

try absolute path not partial path?
if that /store dir is not on the root dir mount.

~/store/.../...
equates to
/home/user/store/.../...

/store/... is mount point parent dir.

Thanks for reply the path is absolute, the / partition is /dev/sda3 and the store partition is /dev/sda6.

why that ssh from ubuntu
just use termux and run rsync from android

just rsync -avz /storage/emulated/0/download username@192.168.0.101:/home/username/download

192.168.0.101 being your computer/desktop ip
replace paths accordingly
i searched a lot for how to rsync on android, this is from memory
if it doesent work, ill search the exact command
make sure you have the rsync service started on the pc
might work from pc but i didnt try it, since you dont have user/password on android

Looks like he used

Code:

rsync -avz /storage/emulated/0/download username@192.168.0.101:/home/username/download

to send from his Android to his PC.
