    I just installed it from F-DROID. Then read the documentation at
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/FAQ , and  found that

    - termux storage is private for filesystem reasons: Android
emulates FAT on top of any fs. OK, no problem.

    - you need a symlink to access Android proper storage, eg for DCIM,
and obtain access right, which is normal Android security.

    - you cannot access external storage; I understand it as the SD
card where all my photos and videos are stored: too bad!

    Well, it remains interesting. I understand it would be more
powerfull if the phone was rooted, which I don't feel ready to do atm.
Looking more at F-DROID, I can see SshDaemon, which looks promising.
Does anyone have experience with it?

    I'm looking at that mostly out of curiosity because I'm rather
happy with my own application which works with any web browser in any OS
-- with limitations on everything Apple as one might expect.
