But data served by the phone over one of its interface is decrypted just like data on a Linux LUKS partition is decrypted over samba and nfs etc.

Hm. Actually I never tried to access my computer via cable. I use ssh and can't get in without a user password. Could I copy files from my computer via usb-(or another)cable without logging in?

I just thought, the phone would ask for a password.

I don't understand the other questions you asked about cabling to your computer.

As on the phone it was possible to simply plug an usb-cable to get full access to all it's contents even if it's "locked" (not completely switched off) with the default USB-settings, my question is: - Provided somebody has physical access to my computer and could plug a cable, is there a similar possibility to access files on my LUKS-encrypted computer without the need of giving a password, while logged out or having screen locked with password? Concrete: somebody steels my encrypted laptop that is running, but the screen is locked by KDE. Can he get my files without knowing the pwd?

Get ES File Explorer (free Android app) and transfer files by Wi-Fi. Samba, sftp, NFC,. Power full, but slightly obtuse interface.

I do have that, because I did not know that simply plugging a USB cable would give full access (now not anymore, because I followed the advices here and set USB to charge-only). -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
