  • Yea, that’s a challenging part for sure, one that I still deal with.

    It can be done, but you need to configure the sync jobs “just so”. Send only from the phone, don’t sync deletions, etc.

    In the past I’ve setup a master folder on my phone and used subfolders for “upload only” Syncthing shares. Then wherever I put a file on my phone it gets synced to the appropriate folder on my server.








  • Does it have to be SFTP?

    I use both Syncthing and Resiliosync - both are better on battery than conventional file transfer mechanisms, and they don’t require babysitting. They simply sync files as you define.

    Alternatively if you must have FTP/SFTP, I have used FolderSync (Play store or Apk Mirror) since about 2010 - I’ve even bought it twice because it’s such a great app. Though I haven’t upgraded in a while because I don’t like the new UI.

    The free version does pretty much everything the paid version does, and the devs have always been great.

    But I’d use Syncthing, you can even set it to only sync on your wifi and while charging, though I’ve found even syncing a few gigs doesn’t impact my battery (I probably sync 10GB a day while on battery).











  • Yea, its not that, too thick/square, handle too small, etc. You’d never get a plug in with it (I’ve done thousands of them - tires are really tough). But I get how it looks like a plug tool.

    Looks like some kind of levering tool.

    As an aside, check out the screw-type tire plugs available today (basically a plastic #8 screw with glue on it). Way easier than the traditional plugs and work just as well.
