Local Send is all you need.
I second this.
Tried to export my iPhone’s gallery yesterday but I just couldn’t for the life of me get all the media exported be it using Windows or Linux.
The only method that worked was just transferring using LocalSend (took 4 hours)
Apple is holding your photos hostage.
In termux (base python module):
python -m http.server 8080In linux desktop browser:
http://192.168.100.1:8080/ # your ip in `ifconfig` and portor vice versa.
Good options. Croc is also useful for remote send to a random person. Pick your target file, it generates a three word code for the relay, end receiver types in three word code, the relay matches you up for a peer to peer transmission.
I’ve been using SMB from the Linux side of the things and File Manager+ from the Android side. Both are things I’d already have even without that:
- SMB - I have it since my mum had that old W7 laptop, so she can store her junk in my computer. (Her laptop had notoriously small disk space). Eventually its usage evolved into my main method to share files at home, specially with the TV box, so I can torrent full anime seasons and watch them from the TV.
- File Manager Plus - because the Google one is rubbish, and this one has network access. That’s it.
I might try some of those out though. Packet in special looks promising.
This is exactly what I do too.
I also like the cloud integration in File Manager Plus and will often use that instead of the respective cloud’s official app.
- Open Termux
rsync -avrs --progress src dst- there are no more steps
Cool. What’s the destination of my phone on the desk?
This is the best way I know for sure. I put my phone to charge then rsync from my backup computer.
Out of the options they provided, I haven’t used packet or gsconnect, but the others I have had many problems with. I’m convinced my ISP absolutely hates these programs because I’ve pretty much never had any luck with using them to send stuff to and from my phone.
Hell, I consider it a miracle that I can even connect my laptop and desktop using Synchthing. Though that’s the one I have had the most success with in the past, so I’m not that surprised.
Don’t know about the others, but KDE connect has absolutely nothing to do with your ISP. It’s using WiFi for wlan, not to connect to the internet.
I suspect you may need to allow local ports on your machine for some of these to function as expected.
Probably. I’m not an expert in this type of stuff, but I’ll definitely look into that.
