Hi i am new and i use openwrt / luci.
My question in short.
I want to send big mkv files from my phone to the plugged usb drive.
I am connected to LAN and 5ghz.
With which app can i do this? Fast as possible!
I need the full read/write rights.
Maybe someone give me some advice.

First you need to mount the USB on the Openwrt.

Skip the Samba instructions and instead use an SCP client on the phone to connect to the router and transfer the file.

Most likely you are limited by your USB stick writing speed.
I believe that your problem is solved, so you can mark the topic as Solved.

FTP is fast. You are connecting with SCP, which consumes more cpu cycles due to encryption.
Moreover we don't have any information about the router or the usb stick.

Connect the phone via usb cable to the pc and copy the files to the usb drive.
