I imagine most people running Fedora on their laptops
have one or more Android phones and other devices.
I'm wondering what applications people use to link the two?
I've found this to be surprisingly difficult.
I'm running Fedora-21/KDE on my laptops
so naturally tried KDE Connect, which is supposed to do the job.
But I have found this very unsatisfactory -
it works occasionally, but simply fails to "pair" on most occasions.
As there is essentially no documentation with this program
it is difficult to know if I am using it correctly,
or if the problem lies with the app on my phone.
ssh client ConnectBot - let's me used CLI on remote machines
sftp client DroidSCP - I paid for the bulk transfer license, it's clunky but
functional, vs. glitzy and and unreliable from a few other things I tried.
They claim to do rsync, I haven't put much effort into finding the details. I'm
more about works than ease of use and features. Both are desirable, but if I
must choose I pass on debugging.
