Using Ghostscript

Ghostscript has a feature to merge multiple pdf files into one. Although ImageMagick also has this feature, I prefer this one, as it doesn’t rasterize and scales down the pdf files.

+

Setup Termux

+

Install Termux using F-Droid.

+

Update software repos.

+
pkg update
+

Grant file access permissions using.

+
termux-setup-storage
+

Establishing an ssh +connection

+

If network (such as eduroam) is blocking ssh trafic between machines, +open a Wi-Fi Hotspot on your Linux machine and connect the Andoid device +to it before using rsync or ssh.

+

Configuring Android

+

Install the openssh server on Termux.

+
pkg install openssh
+

Start the ssh server daemon.

+
sshd
+

Get the ip address of the Android machine (in the Hotspot).

+
ifconfig
+
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (Permission denied). Limited output.

+

In this case 10.42.0.200.

+

The ssh server should now be running and listening on port 8022. You +can check by running

+
nmap -Pn <ip_address>
+

For me <ip_address> whould be 10.42.0.200.

+

Get the username.

+
whoami
+
u0_a700
+

Set a password for this user.

+
passwd
+

Connecting to Android via +ssh

+

Make sure you have an ssh key pair on the Linux system. If not +generate one using ssh-keygen

+

Now connect to Android by ssh

+
ssh <username>@<ip_address> -p 8022
+

Syncronising files with +rsync

+

Install rsync on Termux and Linux. Make sure to keep +your own openssl config.

+
pkg install rsync
+

Now on your Linux machine, syncronise your Music library with +rsync.

+
rsync -av -e "ssh -p 8022" ~/Music <username>@<ip_address>:/data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/music
