MTP ain't it. Foldersync for Android also works very well. Can do sync either direction, both scheduled & event based (e.g. new photo appears) and includes a wide range of sync methods, including SFTP (which is what I'm using).

Add Termux:API package and you can access photos, downloads, etc, on your Android storage. Once you have Termux set up, you can use rsync! Note: Don't use the one on Play Store. I use F-Droid, but you can install package directly. -Joel

Make the smartphone "smarter". But NetBSD on it. Will the phone be smarter than a toaster ?

Unfortunately I've determined that syncthing is the easiest way to get files on and off a modern smartphone. MTP ain't it.

NetBSD vs. smartphones?
The smartphone I have can appear as any one of three types of devices when plugged into another computer system via USB: mass storage MTP device PTP device It is currently set to identify as a mass storage device. When I plug it into any of my NetBSD systems, NetBSD reports it as umodeswitch that the device is a mass storage device and that it is disabling umass support. If I reboot the system and drop into userconf to disable umodeswitch, the umass driver attaches and reports a device but that it is offline. It doesn't matter whether the phone is locked or unlocked at the time of attachment, the system reports the drive as offline. Without divulging information that might make my (or others) phone open to compromise, has anyone else dealt with a situation like this? -- |/"\ John D.
