I got everything SOLVED, after fixing perms in my localhost with these instructions, I could copy over the adminer file into my /var/www/html and now invoke it with localhost/adminer.php in my browser (Firefox).
Thanks anyway for your kind advice, I can login with user root and password, same as phpmy admin.
Back in the day, I used to backup database with adminer and save it in my computer and backup files with tar command.
BTW, database backed up with adminer are not the same than with phpmyadmin, maybe compatibility problems have been addressed now.
I don't use Filezilla or any other FTP program, my KDE desktop can connect remotely over fish protocol, so I transfer backups into my computer seamlessly. I did write a tutorial in the KDE forums, I have lost that URL but can retrieve it if there is interest.
