Hi,
I am traveling with my laptop with OS 15.5(KDE and should copy large files from my phone to the laptop.
I have sshelper on the phone. But I forgot to copy the rsync command I use at home and didn't find out (google doesn't help). I can connect via console to the phone with ssh, but all my rsync trials failed (the parameters and/or path are wrong).
I see you are trying wireless methods. Why don't you simply use the USB cable? Just plug the cable ends to both phone and laptop, and dolphin should see the phone instantly and allow you to copy files in the normal way.
The phone should pop a message as to what to do with the connection, because it can be used for several things. Just select "file transfer". After you do that, dolphin should see the phone directories and files.
Yes Carlos, you made my live a lot easier!
The last time I tried with USB cable is years ago, and it didn't work well (had to install don't know what and still it was complicated...), but now I just plugged in the cable and saw it in dolphin...
It takes quite a while loading a large directory (my "camera" folder is huge...), but then I can use it as any other folder. Cool!
So, thanks again, it helped me a lot on that little journey!
Welcome :-) On ancient phones, before Android, special software was needed, support varied per brand and model, for transferring files with a special cable. With Androids, when the cable was connected to the computer, the phone would "switch off" and make itself behave as a memory stick. When unplugged, the phone had to scan itself before it would work normally. Later, Android phones made files or photos available via MTP or PTP protocols invented by Microsoft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol The Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is an extension to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) communications protocol that allows media files to be transferred automatically to and from portable devices.[1] Whereas PTP was designed for downloading photographs from digital cameras, Media Transfer Protocol allows the transfer of music files on digital audio players and media files on portable media players, as well as personal information on personal digital assistants. MTP is a key part of WMDRM10-PD,[1] a digital rights management (DRM) service for the Windows Media platform. In 2011, it became the standard method to transfer files to and from Android.[2] MTP is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player. Versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows XP SP2 support MTP. Windows XP requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher;[3] later Windows versions have built-in support. Microsoft has made an MTP Porting Kit available for older versions of Windows, back to Windows 98. The USB Implementers Forum device working group standardized MTP as a full-fledged Universal Serial Bus (USB) device class in May 2008.[4] Since then, MTP is an official extension to PTP and shares the same class code.[5] So I guess there was a period in Linux while these protocols were implemented. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
