There is also a (third party, I presume) version of Warpinator for Winders: 'winpinator'.

@itsfoss i personally believe that nothing beats a USB cable directly connecting both devices

[midijunkie64@tkz.one]

@itsfoss localsend and KDE connect are pretty good

Reinventing the wheel.

OpenSSH server (or ftpd if you're so inclined to reduce overhead) on the Linux machine and Total Commander on the Android device. Full control, put the files where you want them to go the first time.

Some of these are useful for copying files to friends' phones or other devices (though Total Commander has that covered too as long as its same network).

File/folder syncing is a different use case and deserves its own article.

@poisonedsandwich @itsfoss In some cases where I don't have a USB cable with me (almost always, unless I'm already doing something that requires a USB cable (e.g. flashing firmware), I prefer LocalSend.

@poisonedsandwich agreed, but sometimes cables can be finnicky if the mobile device doesn't take to it...
