Hi Folks,
I'd like to browse my PE using my laptop via USB mode and have ability to transfer back and forth across the entire filesystem on the PE, starting at / . However, when I connect in USB mode, it seems I only get to play with /mnt/sdcard or whatever the default place is, and the PE presents this as though it were the root directory, without any possibility of changing directory upwards. Do any of you know a way around this? Thanks for any help!
