Once the FTP server is installed on Android, open the app then press the red power button to start FTP server.

Once it's started, it will give you the FTP server address, username and password of your android device. It also tells you that anonymous user is enabled and where the home directory is located.

Now open nautilus file manager on your Ubuntu desktop, go to File > Connect to Server. Call of duty modern warfare login.

Enter the FTP server address of your Android device. Then click Connect.

In the next window, select the default Anonymous option and click Connect.

And now nautilus will take you to the home directory of your Android FTP server.

Needs update of pkgver, otherwise the package will always rebuild itself when used with an aur helper (continuous.r9.g5de45af-1 -> 3.2.r26.gb966969-1)

The command for git clone is resulting in timeout. I had to clone from the git repository manually.

Well, after several times of trial and error, I manage to figure out that `--as-needed' flag is to blame. Since ldflags in `makepkg.conf' defaults to be `-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now', you can safely use `-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,-z,relro,-z,now' to obtain better optimization.

Zepp commented on 2017-11-16 06:11

@andrej, It seems to be caused by the default linker flags set in `makepkg.conf', just pass one more parameter `-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS='' when invoking cmake in PKGBUILD, it should solve the issue.
@sirocco, Please update PKGBUILD after confirming this issue.

How To Transfer From Android To Computer

Something has changed (presumably dependencies of dependencies), and the package refuses to build if mesa is not installed (can't find GL/gl.h). Namcap also reports that 'file' should be added to the depends array, as several binaries link against /usr/lib/libmagic.so.1.
Please add 'file' to the depends array, and 'mesa' to the makedepends array. Thanks!
