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
