Good point, Robert (though I never encountered such a device myself) – you might wish to integrate that with your answer. Unfortunately, using busybox cp would be a chicken-and-egg issue here #D // If you integrate the facts from the comments with your answer, please ping me afterwards for comment-cleanup :)

@Izzy I remember having encountered a lot of devices that did not had the cp command. However cat was on each and every device available I ever got my hand on.

@iBug that depends on the redirect – and how you quote it: adb shell "cat foo > /sdcard/bar" will stay on-device. But remove the quotes, and it may complain it misses the /sdcard on your computer :)

@Izzy Plus, the adb shell cat will cat something to the computer, not the phone.

There's even at least one Busybox installer not requiring root (Busybox Installer (no root)). Apart from that: Any reason you use cat to copy a file – instead of cp?

I want to add that chmod is not available in Android versions prior to Lollipop.
