I'm trying to copy a file to the /system/bin directory from the Evo and none of the file managers like Astro are letting me either copy or move the file from the root of the SD card to the /system/bin directory.
Anyone know of any rooted file managers (preferably free) that I can use?
Thank you in advance.

OI file manager also works
Which is the best file manager on Android platform? Now I use the eFile app, but it has some deficiency (cannot write/delete root files, strange way of sorting the files, etc.). I've tried at least 15 file manager apps, but I haven't find yet the best. I need basic file handling (copy, move, etc), unzip/zip, unrar, modify on root, small size (yeah, X8 with 200 MB phone memory). So which is the best?
Have you tried androzip? It's great for archiving tasks. I'm using it in conjunction with astro.
Root explorer is what you need if you want total control over your entire file system.
There are .apk around here somewhere.
I use ES File Explorer, it knows everything (maybe except unrar) and it's free. You can set it to be a root explorer and you can mount the partitions from within the app

I've tried androzip, ES and Astro, but they cannot extract rar files. This is very important for my work, I always receive emails with rar attachment ( rar is the official compression method in my company)
I've no experience with root explorer, but i will try it

I love ES File Explorer. It is best for me, to manage files from my computer over W-LAN.
Aksi sometimes i am using Root Explorer.
I would recommend Astro File Manager.
Another vote for Root Explorer.

+1, for all your files' needs
for navigating to my sd card and installing apps I use Astro File Manager, and for system management, permissions... creating folders etc.. I use Root Explorer.
I've tried a few but I use ES File Explorer. Just my preference to manage files with. Well I use that and AndroZip of something needs decompressing. Is root explorer just for your root folder for your phone or does it have access to all.folders? Probably a silly question.

Yes. It gives you access to everything. When in root folder just scroll down to/sdcard/ to access your sd card contents.
Definately Astro for me

Miui file explorer work for me
My z3 is rooted. I want to change the default File Commander to ES explorer.
I have uninstalled file commander system app as well still unable to set ES explorer as default app for browsing file/manager.
Where do we need to make changes?
Hi,
ES File Explorer behaves in a strange way with Android task switching : when you open a file with ES File Explorer, it shows up inside ES File Explorer window instead of showing up in a separate window like any other app do.
I have joint a screenshot of the problem: you can see that ES File Explorer is opening the app (Doninn app here, but it is valid for any app, even stock Android app, like Gallery ) inside its own ES File Explorer window, instead of just opening the corresponding app in a different window. Here the .m4a music file is opened inside ES File Explore.
The current behavior is seriously limiting the possibilities of ES FIle Explorer: how can I browse to another file .m4a file while listening to the 1st .m4a app?
Best regards, Chris
Can anyone with ES File Explorer installed, check if they have the same behavior?
just open any file from ES File Explorer and take a screenshot of Android task switching.
