Yes, changing where the db file is stored is the point of my question. I want to create or update the file in termux and then access it (ideally read/write, but read-only would be acceptable) in PasswdSafe. What is /data/local/tmp? I don't see anything by that name. Possibly tmux-share might be part of the solution; I'll have to investigate how it works.

Then may be you should consider to change where the db file is stored and how it is accessed by PasswdSafe. Have you tried to store the file in the app-private directory of termux and "send" it to PasswdSafe via Intent containing a link to a Termux content provider serving the db file? Alternatively there would be /data/local/tmp left where both apps can write if they know the file-name (directory has AFAIR no x flag set).

| Jul 18, 2021 at 21:05 | comment | added | Keith Thompson | @Robert I prefer to manage the password database myself without storing anything in the cloud. More generally, I like to use Termux to manage files on my device, including files used by other applications. In Android 10, I could do that. In Android 11, I can't. I'll consider other solutions if necessary, but I'd prefer to doing what I do now. | |
| Jul 18, 2021 at 11:37 | comment | added | Robert | For what purpose do you need access to the folder used by PasswdSafe? If you use it for synchronizing a password database file this should better be done by a plugin that runs inside the password manager. For example I use Keepass2Android + Dropbox + a keyfile that is never synced anywhere (so password brute forcing the password database will not work without the keyfile). So no matter who get access to the file in dropbox the file is useless to that attacker. | |
