Termux, and then you will use the following command:
 y g
 

cp /sdcard/document $HOME

The chmod command is used to modify the file and folder

permissions. Often specific files are only allowed to read. To alter

Or
 

chmod +x FILE NAME HERE

Read or create a file.

 

You can read any document, HTML, python file, etc. For example, I

following command:
 

cat document.txt
 

Please note that the file is not available at the location. It will then
generate the document.txt file.

Zip is a standard Termux command. It is used to compress and

decompress a single file or folder.
