All of the mtp implementations I've tried were user-space filesystems, so for those you will need Fuse enabled in the kernel. There may be MTP clients that act more like remote filesystem browsers and don't use an unerlying Fuse filesystem. It would be cool if someting like Filezilla spoke MTP.

It's in the main gentoo portage tree, and once you install it, it'll give a link to the android apk in the install completion info. Forgot to add, KDE Connect opens a port on your computer and phone for the app to connect, it uses my WiFi, so no need for a transfer cable of any kind.

MTP can be a bit tempermental if that's what's being used. It's been around for enough years that it should "jsut work", but that's still no my experience, even with recent phones. I usually fire up an sftp server on the phone and do file transfers via Wifi. I find it to be less hassle and faster.
