[Q] SSH connection and transfer files to external SD card ? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to transfer files over my home wifi directly to the external SD card on my rooted Galaxy Tab S 8.4 lte SM-T705.
1. I can't create ROOT ssh connection It connect only as user and Putty also not work...
Two days ago I installed 14 different "SSH server" applications and found that only 2 can see both of memories (internal & external). They can transfer files from Tab to PC, but can't transfer files from PC to external SD card, can only to internal.
Googling found that KitKat have limitation for this
I use WinSCP and create SFTP connection.
Please, can someone explain me how I can create normal ROOT ssh connection and use/change sys files and transfer files directly to ext. SD card ?
2. Because of this problem I created a simple script for transferring files from specific folders on internal memory to specific folders on ext. SD card.
I opened this tread, because I don't know how to add my script to run automatically after boot.
Thanks

but require a 2gb becasue i need more spcae on the card.
Simply use a card reader to transfer the contents of the supplied card to the PC, then back to the new larger card.
Make sure in Windows Explorer you go to tools/ Folder Options select the View tab and make sue the following selections are made:
Show Hidden files and folders is checked
hide extensions for known file types in NOT checked
do this before copying the data to the PC and back to the card - Mike

[Q] USB Storage setup

Confused on External SD card, Internal SD card etc etc. I have a 32GB Patriot Class 10 card. I formatted this card in Clockwork recovery on the phone with a 1024MB Partition. Don't think it even asked me about ext 3, or 4 etc. OK. Now, If I use settings, then under wireless and Network settings Usb Utilities, Click on connect the storage to PC. I connect my USB cable then I have the familiar Android and it says USB is connected. OK, now I have a drive I will call Drive Q. This drive has all the TMobile stuff such as QIK , Photo editor, etc. It also has a folder called External_SD as well as another Folder called usbStorage. This drive Q is roughly 12GB. OK...Now, my SD card which is 32GB is seen as drive U on my desktop. This drive has my clockwork folder with my backups and my Music folder.
I guess I am trying to figure out the best use of drives and there intended purposes. The External_SD folder is only 580Kb or so. The usbStorage folder is a zero byte folder. And finally, when I did run a backup using Clockwork recovery, it basically said it was skipping External SD card since folder was empty.
Now that I am confused on all of this, maybe someone here can actually follow my post and make sense of how the storage is working on our phones

[Q] My External Micro SD card is locked up! Can't write to it (android 4.3)

I'm not sure if this is related to the 4.3 bug or not but I have the tmobile galaxy s4 and I can no longer modify anything on my external sd card. Everything still reads fine but it seems alot slower than before.
I tried using es file manager to delete/write , but it dosen't work. It will say deleted successfully but when i refresh, it reappears. When i try to create a new file it says "sorry, operation failed"
I also checked the permissions file and it says it has r/w access for external storage.
Is my card just dying or corrupted or what? How can I fix this?
I just want to be able to use it again.
I also tried formatting. When i do it on the phone it just freezes. When I do it on the pc, it says write protected.
I tried gparted as well but it hangs during detection.
This is the default micro sd card that came with the phone...

Remove your external microSD and plug it into a card reader and or the adapter which came
with the card then plug it into your computer.
Make an empty folder on desktop of computer and copy all files and folders from the microsd
card into the empty folder.
Format your external microsd using this windows utility and copy all the files/folders back onto
the card from your computer and replace it into your phone.
Here is the direct download link for this fat32 formatter which is a windows utility:

[Q] SD card MTP and mass storage in the car

I’m trying out my new Sony Xperia Z1C.
And there are some things I have questions about
Before I had a HTC One and I could connect it by cable to my audio equipment in my car (BMW 3 F series). This worked because the BMW can read MTP devices.
Connecting the Sony the first time it took ages before it was ready and then only the contents of the internal memory were shown.
When starting mirrorlink on the phone made it unusable in the car.
With a task manager I could remove the mirrorlink background task, is there no other way to stop that background task?
But the problem remained, it could connect but nothing of the SD card was shown.
So I switched to Mass storage and tried to connect again.
This was a lot faster but only four directories were shown.
I copied files on the sd card directly from my pc and not through the phone connection,
so I reformatted the card
and copied files to it through the phone connected to the pc. Copying then failed on .m3u files (why , the phone cannot do anything with them so why not copying?),
so I skipped all those files and
mounted the sd card once more as mass storage,
and now the car audio can see all of the directories. Now I know how to copy mp3 files but it is still a strange way of working, copying to the SD card directly works so much faster.
Mounting the SD card as MTP has almost the same result as before, it reads the card a lot faster now but it still does not show content of the sd.
Can anybody explain me what the correct way of working is,
is MTP only for internal memory (when connecting to the pc on MTP I can see both sdcard0 (internal memory) as sdcard1 (sd card )?
What about killing background tasks such as mirrorlink, how to proceed?
What about copying files to the SDCard, from the pc to the card or from the pc through the phone and then to the card?
Are not all filetypes supported on the card?, I think my initial problem was related to the M3U files.
no time to get into details but i know 2 things
MTP mounts the phones internal memory plus the external sd card
mass storage mounts only the sd card like any other mass storage device
and yes, MTP is slower compared to the mass storage.

Safest Route to File Recovery on Encrypted SD Card

VZW Galaxy Note 4, SM-N910V.05, Android Version 5.1.1, Kernel 3.10.40
Phone and Ext SD Card (64 gb) Encrypted
Problem: Accidentally deleted 5 mp4 files from ext SD. Have been vigilant about not writing data to card.
Solutions Explored: 1) Droid Apps 2) PC programs
Tried numerous apps and programs but they are going to require me to root the droid as they aren't turning up the goods.. I'm in the middle of a backup of internal and external storage, which will take a whole day, plus ---- in case I have to give in to the root option. I've done jailbreaks and roots before, successfully, but have no desire to run that risk. I like to have a vague idea of what I am doing so resist one-click routes but am willing to go in that direction if others here might assure me of just the right solution.
Solution Considered: Decrypting SD card then mounting via usb and running recovery programs, which don't otherwise recognize the phone (internal or external storage) even in the usb mass storage mode (PC recognizes all phone storage for file management just not recovery programs/apps). Would decryption overwrite crucial data (file content of deleted files) or only higher levels?
Update: Ext SD Card was NOT encrypted
I unmounted ext sd card. Connected to PC via usb card reader.
The phone indicated that the card was encrypted but it was not. I see earlier threads here where this happenned in kit-kat and jellybean. Now, add lollipop.
What gives?
Galaxy Tab S ext sd card not encrypted
Device says the card is encrypted. I checked via card reader because of experience with phone. Same deal. Not just file names and metadata but file contents are recognized. NO encryption. Does the unmount make it readable? What's going on?
