I can suggest two potential solutions I have used for file transfers between Android devices and Windows machines: Syncthing and ssh server/sftp client. Regarding Syncthing: Requires folder setup and is primarily used to synchronize directory contents. (Might not be suitable, depending on your use case.) Regarding ssh server and sftp: I run sshd on the Windows side and Total Commander with its sftp plugin on the Android side. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
