I have an app that has a scripting capability - as well as saved scripts, it is possible for the app user to create new scripts in File.DirRootExternal which can then be run.
There are any number of in-phone apps that can edit the scripts but the limited realestate of a phone screen is severely inhibiting.
If the phone is hooked up to a PC via USB (in my case Samsung S5 to Windows 10) I can readily access the scripts from Windows Explorer - if I click on a file it comes up in Notepad.
Trouble starts when I try to Save the edited script directly back to the phone - there appears to be no mechanism for directly doing this.
I can save the script to somewhere on PC then use Windows Explorer to copy and paste it back to the phone - which is decidedly ugly.
I have spent a full day looking at all sorts of alternatives: FTP, SMB, ... you name it I have installed and googled my eyeballs till they are raw.
All these alternatives share at least one common flaw - they are not SIMPLE (it is ultimately going to be used by individuals of all levels of computing competence).
Is there any such animal?
If not, what is the fundamental problem?
Why can I copy and paste in Windows Explorer yet Notepad (and a succession of other Windows text editors) can't save to the phone?
Thanks as always for any help...
