> Not that I said On some devices you can set the USB mode to "USB" (not FTP, USB Tethering, MIDI, PTP). In newer OS versions that mode has been disabled for security reasons. So if you don't find it you have to transfer the files with the dedicated program first to a PC, modify them there and then transfer them back again.

Perhaps you get better access to your phone with a different mobile app e.g. CX file explorer
