Windows cmd move file to android device

I want to move a file called "logger.txt" to an android device connect to my pc. The text file is currently at "c:\logger.txt" and I want it to go to - "Computer\Nexus 7\Internal storage". There is not drive letter so how do I know where to move it to. I have tried:

move c:\logger.txt Computer\Nexus 7\Internal storage

It returns "The syntax of the command is incorrect."

Solution

  • Use ADB (Android Debug Bridge)

    adb push the_file_you_want_to_push the_directory_on_the_device will push a file (the_file_you_want_to_push) onto the device (in the_directory_on_the_device)

    To get the name of the_directory_on_the_device, you can use adb shell and ls/cd command to get a path

    ADB executable is in ADT_DIRECTORY/sdk/platform-tools

    You can also get a file from Android to your computer using adb pull

    Hope it helps
