Description hiweka2673 2023-09-20 10:08:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
I'm using KDEConnect from my laptop with Windows 11 Home, build 22621.2283 to connect it with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (Android 12, MIUI GLOBAL 14.0.5)
I have set up the important plugins for: browsing my phone file system with SFTP, and take a photo from my phone and have it immediately transferred on my laptop.
I use this for studying purposes, but when I try to browse the filesystem, WinSCP tells me "Access Denied, error 3", while if I try to take a photo from my phone, after the photo has been taken, nothing appears in the folder that I set up!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE BEHAVIOR
1. Try to access the phone file system/try to take a photo from the phone
2. Access is denied/photo doesn't appear on the laptop

OBSERVED RESULT
File System access with SFTP doesn't work
The photos that I take with my phone are not uploaded on my laptop

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the cited plugins to do what they're supposed to

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11 Home 22621.2283
