Hello,

at ths momentt I have my maps stored on my external SD-card. My tracks are also stored on my external SD-card. But I would to to have the tracks on my internal memory.
I want this because I can easily transfer files with ssh to my internal memory but not to the external memory (permissons denied). I tried apps that can write to the sd-card but I found it easier to transfer the files to the internal memoary and the on my phone move to theexternal memory

So my question is:
Is it possible to create a symbolic link on my SD-card that links the tracks map to the tracks map on internal memory??
And how can this be done??

I just found a ssh/sftp server app that is able to transfer files directly to the external card. So now I do not longer have the need to put the tracks in the internal directory.

The app I found is called: "SSH/SFTP Server Terminal"

The file explorers FX and Totalview can write onto the external SD card.
If your device is rooted then Apps2SD can bind-mount a folder on the internal SD card to the external SD card.
