Description Giuliano 2019-03-23 19:12:17 UTC
SUMMARY
I am running Debian 9.8 amd64 with KDE, and installed KdeConnect in the version provided by Debian.
Everything works fine on the phone side (Honor 7), right upon connecting.  
On the desktop side, I can ring the phone and share clipboard. 
When trying to browse it,instead, while I correctly get the device listed on Dolphin (and Konqueror and Krusader), the content is just a folder with a strange denomination (5D67-6224). Trying to open it I get the message:
"Error: The file or folder /home/giuliano/.config/kdeconnect/1ee2f76378eb5b6a/kdeconnect_sftp/1ee2f76378eb5b6a/5D67-6224 does not exist." And in fact that folder does not exist.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
As said above. The error repeat always, and with the same folder name. Installing the files suggested with KdeConnect does not change the situation.

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
Being able to browse the phone is of course a major feature of such a wonderful instrument, for which I congratulate and thank you for your work.   
Please give some hint on how to solve the problem, even considering that the connection via usb cable does not work (the connection goes up an down), so I have no way to browse the phone.

What version of kdeconnect are you using (desktop and android)?

well, in fact they do not match: the one on Android is newer than the one on Debian stable (Stretch). 

Waiting for the new Debian release, how can the mismatch be handled ? and once they are synch'ed , how to avoid that one gets "asynchronously" updated ?

There's probably some ppa out there that carries the latest kdeconnect. Other than that you could try to compile kdeconnect yourself or bug the debian maintainers to keep up with the versions of software they ship.

The problem on the PC side is that Kdeconnect has tens of dependencies to satisfy  ...

On the Android side instead, I don't know if there is the possibility to install a previous version, and worst,

if it is possible to keep the present version (which is working well with Debian Testing release) from automatically being updated, thus probably causing the same problem in a few months.
