File transfers - how do you do it?

[tcecyk]

are you missing some gvfs dependencies for mtp to work? see “other options” for what transfer methods you can use via cable or wifi:

Data transfer FP5 Murena to Ubuntu pc

the Mate ubuntu should be able to pickup MTP when gvfs-backend is installed Settings → Connected Devices → USB → File Transfer (de: Einstellungen → Verbundene Geräte → USB → Dateiübertragung) and then just mount the device in the file browser. Other options for cable are plain adb pull or adb push. For simple networked file transfer there’s localsend, for continually syncing (involving a bit of setup) syncthing is alright.
