Filezilla doesn't really work for me on my phone; I guess I'll try Dolphin.

I do appreciate the help and I'm really loving Mobian right now.

Map navigation is still a work in progress and battery life is still poor but this project is moving at light speed IMHO and a huge thanks to the Devs!!

How did you get samba working?

A simplified GUI for unloading pictures would be handy,  sometime in the future ?

No I meant I use Dolphin on the computer, on the phone itself using the built in file manager works just fine. It seems like it's Nautilus straight out of GNOME but I don't know if it's customized for Phosh, so I won't definitively say it's vanilla Nautilus.

Most DEs come with a file manager which can connect straight to SFTP server, either through a menu option (like the "File -> Connect to Server..." menu option in Nautilus) and/or through specifying the SFTP protocol in the address bar (like "sftp://[username]@server[:port]" in Dolphin).

I used this link to set up everything and it works flawlessly for me

My advice would be to connect your phone to wifi, and mount it using sshfs.

Apart from that the usual suspects (ssh/sftp/nfs/samba) come to mind.
Where can we get the package from? Is there a command to grab it on Pop_OS?

Have you tried teleport? that works pretty well for me in both directions... https://gitlab.gnome.org/jsparber/teleport

Just burn Jumpdrive onto a SD and put it in the phone and boot the phone connected to the computer and you will have full access to the eMMc.

KDE Connect is a nice option. Smile .
