Destination storage is write protected

Hello to all ;)

With my PC, I copy a file into my Android (connected by USB cable) into File.DirDefaultExternal

My B4A program (that's running on Android), see this file, read it, execute a command, and then delete it.

All works fine !!

But then, if I want to copy another file into File.DirDefaultExternal, my PC can't do it and the error is "I can't copy the file. Destination storage is write protected". :(

How to solve it without disconnect and re-connect USB cable ??

Thanks
Sergio
 
You can try to kill the app process by calling ExitApplication.

Thanks for your reply, but I need that the program waiting for another file.

I have also try to add ExitApplication for a test but it don't works, I need to disconnect a connect USB cable :sign0085:

Not sure that you can workaround this. Why don't you transfer the files over the local network? It can be done with SMB library.

Yes, I think that it's not a good idea to use files on folder :(

I'am already working on HttpServerService for to accept command from a PC by WiFi connection

Thanks
Sergio
