MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Looking for a way to transfer books from an Android device to a Kobo Aura 2

I installed PuTTY and realized it is beyond my capabilities. Then used WinSCP, I've attached the log. I can open PuTTY from WinSCP, it opens a window and then times out. The reader and computer are connected to the same wifi network. I've left the password blank, and entered something random as well. The connection times out.

Spoiler:

Installed right now are KSM 09 (2018.01.05), Nickel 4.20.14622, Koreader v2020.03.2

I reflashed the SD four times installing old versions and trying different things. It typically goes like this, maybe my mistake is in there somewhere?

Spoiler:

By now I'm well over ten hours in total into trying to connect an e-reader as usb storage to a phone. Shouldn't be this complicated, should it?

Oh, and I tried exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software meanwhile, but it didn't see the reader either.
