This is Midnight Commander extfs plugin for browsing Android device through adb interface written in Python.

Rquirements

• Python 2.7

• adb installed and in $PATH

• An Android device or emulator preferably rooted

• Busybox installed and available in the path on the device

Make sure, that issuing from command line:

$ adb shell busybox ls

should display files from root directory on the device.

Features

• Listing the directory with (default), or without skipping system dirs (acct, dev, proc, etc)

• Copying files from and to the device

• Creating directories

• Removing files and directories

• Symbolic links in lists are corrected to be relative to the file system

• Symbolic links also point to the right target, skipping intermediate links

Installation

Copy adbfs into ~/.local/share/mc/extfs.d/ directory and make it executable if needed.

Usage

To use it, just issue:

cd adbfs://

under MC - after some time you should see the files and directories on your device. For convenience you can add a bookmark (accessible under CTRL+) for fast access. The time is depended on how many files and directories you have on your device and how fast it is :)

Limitations

• Initial listing might be slow. Depending on how fast the device is, how many files are on the device and so on

• Some filenames might be still inaccessible for operating

• All files operations which needs root privileges will fail (for now)
