well something positive happened, I tried a different app called FV file explorer, set up a webdav server on my android and connected my fedora VM to the server. It worked and the better thing is instead of showing binary for videos like the olive tree’s app webdav server pro, FV file manager shows the video file as the proper filetype MPEG-4 file. When I tried the find and zip command again, it doesn’t give me the zip I/O error bad address.
The downside is that it can’t be set to the root folder
