67
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
68
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
69
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
70
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
|
|
71
|

|
73
|

|
74
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

|
77
|

use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
78
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
79

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
80
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
81
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
82
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
83
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
84
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
85
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
86
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
87
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
90
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
91
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

|
92
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
95
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
96

99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
101
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
102
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
103
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
104
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
107
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
108
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
109
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
110
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
111
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
112
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
113
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
114
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
115
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
116
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
117
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution

notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
119
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
120
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
121
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
124
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
125
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
126
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
127
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
128
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
131
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
132
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
136
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
140
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
141
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
145
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
146
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
148
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
160
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
166
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
167
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
168
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
169
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
170
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
171
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
172
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
173
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
174
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

# Primitive Ctrl
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
Remote control of your phone's [Primitive FTPd Android SFTP server](https://github.com/wolpi/prim-ftpd) and optionally [Tailscale VPN](https://tailscale.com/).
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
Though Primitive FTPd consumes minimal power when it is not used, remote start/stop can be usefull for zeroconf (DNS-SD). Android doesn't reply DSN-SD queries when the screen is off, but Android announces the new service when the Primitive FTPd server starts up. So SFTP clients can/should capture and cache the announcement at Primitive FTPd server startup to connect to a phone through zeroconf even when the screen is off.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
But in case of Tailscale, it is a real battery and mobile network data drain when not used, remote start/stop is de facto very useful.
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
With the help of this script you can sync your phone with eg. your home NAS server whereever your phone is on a WiFi network - or even on cellular. Your phone doesn't have to be on the same LAN to make zeroconf working when you have alternative access through VPN.
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
See my other project, https://github.com/lmagyar/prim-sync, for bidirectional and unidirectional sync over SFTP (multiplatform Python script optimized for the Primitive FTPd SFTP server).
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
See my other project, https://github.com/lmagyar/prim-batch, for batch execution of prim-ctrl and prim-sync commands.

**Note:** These are my first ever Python projects, any comments on how to make them better are appreciated.

### Automate
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
- Depending on whether you installed the [forked](https://github.com/lmagyar/prim-ftpd) or the [original](https://github.com/wolpi/prim-ftpd) version of Primitive FTPd, download the appropriate Automate flow to your phone:
|
|
106
|
+
- Flow for the **forked** Primitive FTPd: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lmagyar/prim-ctrl/main/res/prim-ctrl-lmagyar.flo (see [image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lmagyar/prim-ctrl/main/res/prim-ctrl-lmagyar.png) of the flow)
|
|
107
|
+
- Flow for the **original** Primitive FTPd: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lmagyar/prim-ctrl/main/res/prim-ctrl.flo (see [image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lmagyar/prim-ctrl/main/res/prim-ctrl.png) of the flow)
|
|
108
|
+
- Import it with the ... menu / Import command
|
|
109
|
+
- Enable all privileges
|
|
110
|
+
- Click on the flow, edit the 2. block ("Set variable google_account to...), enter your Google account and press Save
|
|
111
|
+
- Start the flow
|
|
112
|
+
- Settings
|
|
113
|
+
- Run on system startup: enable
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
### Primitive FTPd
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
- Configuration tab
|
|
118
|
+
- UI
|
|
119
|
+
- Show notification to start/stop server(s): disable - this is necessary to determine whether Primitive FTPd is running on the phone or not, because the Automate flow determines whether the server is started with checking the existence of it's notification, and if the notification is always shown, that would make it false positive; please use another way, eg. a Quick Settings Tile to start/stop the server manually
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
### Tailscale VPN (optional)
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
Follow Tailscale's instructions on how to configure Tailscale VPN on your phone and laptop.
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
For more details see: https://login.tailscale.com/start
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
### Tailscale Funnel (optional)
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
You can configure Tailscale Funnel on your laptop (for incoming connections to this script's webhooks from the internet). Until the Tailscale VPN is up on the phone, the phone can't send information directly to your laptop, to this script's webhooks. But Tailscale Funnel makes it possible to access a Tailscale VPN connected device's services from the wider internet.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
For more details see: https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
An example Tailscale Funnel config command for this script is: `tailscale funnel --bg --https=8443 --set-path=/prim-ctrl "http://127.0.0.1:12345"`
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
## Usage
|
|
136
|
+
|
|
137
|
+
If you decide to use this script, I suggest to configure Tailscale VPN and Tailscale Funnel, this will provide the most functionality.
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
Without any VPN, the script will start and stop the Primitive FTPd app on your phone making a best effort and assumes the phone is on the same LAN (ie. zeroconf works). This is fine if you start the script manually and your phone is with you.
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
But if the script runs scheduled, we can't be sure whether the phone is on WiFi, is on the same WiFi as your laptop: it is better to configure the VPN and Funnel. And I suggest to use the backup and restore functionality also, in this case a scheduled script will not interfere with a manually started Primitive FTPd or VPN, you won't notice the synchronization is running while you are doing something else on the phone with the Primitive FTPd or the VPN.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
Notes:
|
|
144
|
+
- Even when -b option is **not** used, the script will output 'connected=(local|remote)', what you can use to determine whether to use -a option for the prim-sync script
|
|
145

# Primitive Ctrl
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
Remote control of your phone's [Primitive FTPd Android SFTP server](https://github.com/wolpi/prim-ftpd) and optionally [Tailscale VPN](https://tailscale.com/).
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
Though Primitive FTPd consumes minimal power when it is not used, remote start/stop can be usefull for zeroconf (DNS-SD). Android doesn't reply DSN-SD queries when the screen is off, but Android announces the new service when the Primitive FTPd server starts up. So SFTP clients can/should capture and cache the announcement at Primitive FTPd server startup to connect to a phone through zeroconf even when the screen is off.
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
But in case of Tailscale, it is a real battery and mobile network data drain when not used, remote start/stop is de facto very useful.
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
With the help of this script you can sync your phone with eg. your home NAS server whereever your phone is on a WiFi network - or even on cellular. Your phone doesn't have to be on the same LAN to make zeroconf working when you have alternative access through VPN.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
See my other project, https://github.com/lmagyar/prim-sync, for bidirectional and unidirectional sync over SFTP (multiplatform Python script optimized for the Primitive FTPd SFTP server).

### Tailscale Funnel (optional)
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
You can configure Tailscale Funnel on your laptop (for incoming connections to this script's webhooks from the internet). Until the Tailscale VPN is up on the phone, the phone can't send information directly to your laptop, to this script's webhooks. But Tailscale Funnel makes it possible to access a Tailscale VPN connected device's services from the wider internet.

|

|
+
For more details see: https://tailscale.com/kb/1223/funnel
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
An example Tailscale Funnel config command for this script is: `tailscale funnel --bg --https=8443 --set-path=/prim-ctrl "http://127.0.0.1:12345"`
|
|
112
|

|
|
113
|
+
## Usage
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
If you decide to use this script, I suggest to configure Tailscale VPN and Tailscale Funnel, this will provide the most functionality.
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
Without any VPN, the script will start and stop the Primitive FTPd app on your phone making a best effort and assumes the phone is on the same LAN (ie. zeroconf works). This is fine if you start the script manually and your phone is with you.
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
But if the script runs scheduled, we can't be sure whether the phone is on WiFi, is on the same WiFi as your laptop: it is better to configure the VPN and Funnel. And I suggest to use the backup and restore functionality also, in this case a scheduled script will not interfere with a manually started Primitive FTPd or VPN, you won't notice the synchronization is running while you are doing something else on the phone with the Primitive FTPd or the VPN.

Notes:
|
|
122
|
+
- Even when -b option is **not** used, the script will output 'connected=(local|remote)', what you can use to determine whether to use -a option for the prim-sync script
