Get FULL access to android device by the use of FTP

Hello!
I have:
1. Android's tablet with FTP server installed on it. I choose SwiFTP on this role.
2. Ordinary desktop computer under Windows 7 with FTP client. I use Total Commander built-in FTP client.
In general - all works, I can see tablet's files/folders from desktop through Total Commander. BUT! I can't see ALL folders on tablet! Example: I want to see files in /data. Answer from Total Commander:
Code:
CWD data
550 The path is inaccessible
In the same time I can see folders like /sys, /system, etc. Of course, I have rooted Android on my tablet. So - what I can do to get absolutely FULL access to Android's file system over FTP?
I thank in advance for your answers.

I'm not sure, but I guess that the ftp server is not running as root, so that's why you can't navigate to directories which are only accessible by root.
You could use QuickSSHd - it's a nice front-end for the dropbear SSH server, and it can start dropbear as root, so you can access everything (e.g. with WinSCP).

QuickSSHd "root" is only it's default username. It tells you that it will only access root folders on your Android if it's a rooted device.

Swiftp does not run as root therefore it does not allow to access those folders. But fortunately there is another application Root FTP that allows that (you just need the rooted phone of course) - see it here

VPN and file browsing?

Hi guys, I am new to Android (Galaxy Note) from iOS.
I have successfully connected to my works VPN. How do I browse files on the device?
On my windows PC I connect to the VPN and then use explorer to browse to this directory:
//D*****R/DATA/SERVER/Filing cabinet/
This directory contains all our invoices in excel format. I want to be able to look at them and edit them.
I downloaded a file explorer program but that asks me to put all the server details in again. I tried that and it said couldn't connect.
Anyone else use VPN for work?
Help?
Thanks.

[Q] Android - How to open a file directly from a server.

Hello everyone,
I'm an android user, with a Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1.
I have a QNAP NAS which I can easily access from my android phone via WebDav or Ftp.
Currently, when I select a file (doc, xls), it downloads the file to my phone and then opens it in in it's respective application.
When I edit the file and save it, the changes are only made to the local file which was downloaded to my phone. I then have to upload the file back to the server and overwrite the existing file. Such a pain!
Are there any methods or applications that will open the file directly from the server? Such that edits and saves are done on the server instead of on my phone?
Thanks,
Daxton

try File Expert, I think could help you.

Thanks Ikubik,
Unfortunately File Expert doesn't work.
It connects via FTP and gives me a directory listing.
However, when clicking on a file, it says "Opening Directory..." and then does nothing. It doesn't even appear to download anything either.
This is really chapping my a**. You'd think this would be possible??
I've tried FX file manager - connects via ftp - only opens files as read-only
Solid Explorer - connects via ftp - saves files locally for editing & changes are not made on the server
X-Plore, couldn't establish connection
Kingsoft Office - Has WebDav support which refused to connect
ES File Manger - Same result as Solid Explorer
How to people manage their files on the go?
I want to get away from online cloud services and manage my own data. Apparently, this is more difficult that I thought.
I found an application call FolderSync which keeps your server files synchronized with your android. But, it downloads all of your network files to your phone. I've got 13 gigs of documents = no thanks.
Any other suggestions?

[Q] synchronize a file using usb

Hi,
I'm developping an android application that need a file generated from a web application. the problem is that this application is for a hospital where we can not use wifi to download this generated file (xml) directly from the web application.
Thats why I'm searching for another meathod to synchronize the file and to transfert it to the tablet.
Could you give me some propositions ?
Is there some open source application to synchronize a pc folder with a tablet forder throught MTP protocol ?
is there any good java library ?
I found two libraries but :
jMTP successfully recognizes my Android devices but as of this writing there is no support for file transfer of any kind. All I've managed to do is go through the file system.
jusbpmp is supposed to be able to but its awfully buggy and fails to recognize some of the devices I'm trying to develop for.
Thank you,

You can use a MicroSD card.

Why not use ADB?
I sync my Kyocera Rise nicely with ADB and adbsync.exe
