Cannot create new file or copy files in with file manager

[Alexmac22347]

This is not an issue with tinc itself but im not sure where to ask this.
Basically I auto generated the configuration files, and now i want to copy my servers configuration file into the hosts folder on my android device. Normally, I would create a file in the hosts folder, then share the hosts file with myself over email or something and copy/paste it into the file I created in the hosts folder.

It seems like on the default file manager, there is no option to create a file (I even tried copying an existing file, this almost worked but I was not able to rename the file).
Opening in ghost command just gets a permission error. (when I first opened ghost commander, I got a request to grant it permission to the filesystem which I did)
Any ideas?

Hi, File managers are sometimes broken on some ROMs... You might have more luck creating the files through a text editor app (like [Editor] or [Acode]). [Editor]: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.billthefarmer.editor/ [Acode]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxdebug.acodefree
