Obvious. They want to sell you 'their' cable at an inflated price.


Does *nobody* else just use the "remote manager" facility built into ES
File Explorer which, as I've already posted, gives an ftp address to use
to manage files on the device from a PC?


I do *now*! But I hadn't discovered it until you pointed it out - and I
guess that many others are the same.
