I`m using usb-OTG to link my usb device, I see others could found external storage folder in ~/storage after excuted termux-setup-storage, like /storage/XXXX-XXXX/Android/data/com.termux/files or /storage/external-0/
but it not works for me. I can only found internal storage there(pic1).

I also installed termux-api and dependencies as this docs said (https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux-usb), and devices shows normal(pic 2)

And this device could be found in /mnt/media_rw/86B6-1A0C/ via root user (su) ( but I need no-root user to access it because I want to use sftpd and root user cannot start a sshd service)

Does someone meet the same problem or know if it possible to solve it?

Here`s my environment:

OS: LineageOS 13
Android version: Android 13
Device Xiaomi 8
Termux: 0.118.0

Luckily, I found another way to access /mnt/media_rw/xxxx-xxxx after I asked chatgpt...
So I don`t have to access it through /storage

rooted device, installed openssl & openssh
pkg install rsu & excute rsuinto root user.
Update $PREFIX/etc/ssh/ssh_config add PermitRootLogin yes

~ # cat $PREFIX/etc/ssh/ssh_config
SendEnv LANG
PermitRootLogin yes

set password to root user passwd
restart sshd service pkill sshd & sshd
ssh root@<ip_addr> -p 8022
(optional) mount --bind /mnt/media_rw/<device_id>/data/ /storage/emulated/0/sftp_data/external
