1995: Sun Microsystems publishes the worst filesystem in the world - NFS
2025: the way to transfer files to a phone is mtp
I'm sorry, Sun Microsystems!
Come back!
I'll use NFS now and pretend to like it!

@apropos @Zergling_man So far, the most reliable way to transfer files to an from an Android phone is Syncthing. KDEConnect likes to freeze on large files of ~1GB.

@Zergling_man the default security is tuned to airport charging ports I guess. I've all seen busses with charging cables for phones.
My mtp experience was
>plug in phone
>KDE can see its files after I permit that on the phone
>rsync music with ... where is the mount?
>kill a process to keep KDE from taking over mtp
>fuse mount mtp
>rsync music - too many open files
>the mount itself is broken
>umount, get KDE to give me a file manager again
>find . -name '*.mp3' -print|tee not-flac-or-wav
>rsync -a ./ --files-from=not-flac-or-wav CopyMusic
>copy CopyMusic in KDE file manager
>paste
>paste doesn't work because the earlier fusemount rsync partially succeeded
>delete all Music on phone
>paste

@apropos I mostly use adb or ftp. Although I have been using mtp more lately because it's faster to reach on foan side.
It'd be nice if it were just always on, I won't plug my foan into a computer that I don't want accessing my files, come on.
