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).
So I thought I use bluetooth. The connection between phone and laptop can be established, but when I want to send a file from the phone I get the message: "laptop-name doesn't accept receiving files".
Googling only brought up to install KDE-connect, I did on phone and on laptop. But it doesn't find another device to pair... (Don't know if it has to do with the kind of internet connection I use: My phone is connected and I use it as a hotspot to which I connect the laptop).
So, if you can help me find a way to get files from Android phone to laptop, that would be great. I don't care how.
- how to make my laptop accepting files via bluetooth? - or how to make kde-connect finding phone/laptop, - or how should the rsync command in sshelper look to copy photos from phone to laptop, - or any other idea?

Hi, what I end up using (very reliably) is the SMB protocol (windows file sharing). Set up samba server on linux and there are plenty Android apps supporting smb. I use for instance: AndSMB for browsing and transferring files manually and FolderSync Pro (for automatically syncing directories, e.g. backups and camera photos) The latter also should support sftp and other protocols, but that didn't work for me, but that's years ago. I would give this a try as it should work via ssh/sftp in theory. Regards, Paul Neuwirth
