Worst comes to worse. I guess it's not really needed since mine was all garbage too.

files/usr/bin/bash -lic 'export PATH=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin; export

That solved one problem but stat: /sdcard/ Permission denied is still an issue.

And you can list the SD card within termux directly?

Only thing I can think of is maybe try removing the trailing forward slash.

pull /sdcard

I can cd into sdcard and make it show the files. I tried what you suggested and it's just the same.

Ok this must be something new with Android 14. I'm seeing the same error here. I can list in Termux but not over the adb shell termux wrapper or SSH.

I'll let you know if I get it working.

In the meantime, the proper fix for path is \ escaping the $

adb shell -t "run-as com.termux files/usr/bin/bash -lic 'export PATH=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin:\$PATH; export LD_PRELOAD=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec.so; bash'"```

Thanks for the script, transferring my photos/videos with 250MB/s now. Much better than mtp.

That solved one problem but stat: /sdcard/ Permission denied is still an issue.

But you did give Termux access to files right? :P

I've figured out the solution. The way to correctly allow permissions is to disable files permission, termux-setup-storage, enable files permission and it would work.

Could this be made to work with specific files in a folder? I kind of don't want to do a one large file transfer
