Interesting. I might be misremembering, but I thought tcpsvd came pre-installed with termux.

I believe you can also get it from busybox by using pkg install busybox.

You could also use other (and probably better) means of starting the ftp server, such as the one listed here: wiki.termux.com/wiki/Remote_Access

Let me know if you're able to figure it out. I'll try and do some more investigating and get back to you.

Hey I did some testing and can confirm that tcpsvd doesn't seem to come with newer installations of termux, but it is still available form busybox.

After installing busybox you're meant to run tcpsvd (and any of its other commands) by putting busybox in front of it.

busybox tcpsvd [...options]

If you prefer you can also run this command

ln -s busybox $PREFIX/bin/tcpsvd

Which will allow you to run tcpsvd without prefixing it with busybox like normal.
