How to Resolve CX File Explorer Access Denied Issues?
We came across the Oculus Quest connectivity issues, but sometimes CX File Explorer access is denied.
Why is this access denied?
Causes of Denied Access
There are various reasons that why the access is denied so let’s go through the causes of access denied issues:
- File Permissions can prevent access causing the “access denied” error.
- Accidental Modification and deletion of system files and folders sometimes causes this error. Unauthorized modification and deletion will result in these access issues.
- Network restrictions can cause this access denial as these permissions are set by the network administrators which might block access to the folders and files located in the network drive.
- Corrupted files can cause the “access denied” error.
- Security softwares of antivirus programs also blocks access to files/folders as it could potentially threaten the file management app.
Solutions to resolve access denied issues
- Scan for viruses: Run through a malware software to scan the apk to ensure there is no threat causing a malicious program.
- Update CX File Explorer: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the CX File Explorer. IN case of using the outdated version, there would be compatibility issues with your system.
- Reinstall the app in case you find any issues like reinstalling CX File Explorer. It can sometimes fix the “Access Denied” problems caused by the corrupted installation files.
- Check for all the unauthorized permissions to ensure file/folder assessment. Also try launching the CX File Explorer with administrator privileges.
- Network Access Permissions: Ensure to verify the network access with necessary permissions from the network administrators to share their network drives or folders.
- Clear Cache and Data: Resolve this issue caused by corrupted temporary files. Do app settings to clear it or do it through the device settings.
- Check Disk for Errors: Use the in-built tools like CHKDSK (check disk) on your PC. Scan it for repairing the disk errors which might affect the access.
- Disable Antivirus programs: Temporarily block your legitimate access. In case the issue gets resolved, it would configure your antivirus to allow CX File Explorer access.
- Configure UFW for PC Access: In case you are using the uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) on your PC, configure it to accept these connections from the Android devices. Adjust the firewall rules for allowing the device’s IP address.
- Modify Folder Permissions: Ensure the shared folder is completely and properly configured. Just right-click the folder, select “properties,” and go to the “sharing tab” to check whether the option “allow others to create and delete files” is enabled for file management between different devices.
- Change the File Permissions: Adjust all the permissions to ensure your android device can access the folders. Set “Other” under the “Permissions” tab to “Access Files.”
- Check the connections: Use the CX File Explorer app on your Android devices to text either this connection is successfully working. If access is successful, the configuration is correct.
- Use SSH for File Transfer: If the above solutions don’t work, consider using Secure Shell (SSH) methods like ‘scp’ or ‘rsync’ for transferring files. While more technical, SSH provides a reliable alternative for file access.
Troubleshooting Using ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
What is ADB?
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a powerful command-line for communication between an Android and PC. Their advanced features and functions like the file transfer, app installations as well as the system configurations are important.
In the Android 11, the “Android/data” folder is restricted making it difficult for the managers to access the file. Using the ADB, you can bypass these restrictions.
In Android 11, the ‘Android/data’ folder is more restricted, making it difficult for file managers like CX File Explorer to access it. By using ADB, you can bypass this restriction.
Installing ADB on Your PC
To start troubleshooting:
- Install ADB from the official Android developer website
- Connect the Android device to your PC via USB.
- Enable “Developer Options”
- Turn on “USB Debugging” on Android device
- Use the ADB commands for accessing the restricted folder or to fix the connectivity issues.
The “Access Denied” issues may be an outcome of the permission restrictions, network limitations or anti-virus Softwares; however, resolve them by scanning viruses, adjusting network settings and clearing cache. Also use the ADB commands to fix the “Access Denied” problem in CX File Explorer.
Conclusion
Resolving the “Access Denied” issues in CX File Explorer. Use different factors including the file permissions, anti-virus interferences and the network restrictions. Also, it will remove the disk errors by scanning the viruses, clearing cache and updating this app.
Utilize all new ADB methods to fix the issues and regain access to your files/folders. If none of the methods work, consider using SSH or alternative file managers for your device.
