You can use 'sshfs' to mount the file system on your tablet. This way, you can more easily browse and edit files on your tablet. First, ensure that you have sshfs installed on your Linux machine. Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt-get install sshfs Arch sudo pacman -S sshfs Then create a writable catalog where you want to mount and run sshfs: mkdir foodir; sshfs root@10.11.99.1:/home/root foodir
