adbtuifm

adbtuifm is a TUI-based file manager for the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), to make transfers between the device and client easier.

It has been tested only on Linux. Windows/Mac is currently not supported.

Note that this is an experimental release, so expect bugs.

Features

• Transferring files/folders between the ADB device and the local machine
• Copy, move, and delete operations on the ADB device and the local machine seperately
• Ability to change to any directory via an inputbox, with autocompletion support
• Ability to select multiple items and perform various operations on them (multiselection mode)

Installation

go get -u github.com/darkhz/adbtuifm

Bugs

• In directories with a huge amount of entries, autocompletion will lag. This happens only on the device side (i.e ADB mode), where there is significant latency in transferring and processing the directory listing to the client.
