Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Best means for getting photos OFF Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition?

Most people on this list seem to use ssh/scp. That's what I use. It's not at all convenient. But if you're using Ubuntu Touch I'd say you'll more likely than not need ssh at some point. Apparently there's been good progress getting synchronisation to ownCloud working:

I have progress to report! Both ADB and MTP work somewhat better on my iMac at work (21.5-inch, Late 2013. My Macbook is Mid-2010. Both running El Capitan.) The results are quite confusing. I can consistently use Android File Transfer, it pops up automatically every time I plug in the

Thanks for the more detailed info, that helps. I'm still a bit confused though. Are the letters referring to hardware variants that I can't change, or just firmware variants that I'm free to choose from? If I choose the wrong firmware do I brick my device, or do I just end up with a

Sorry for sending a test email to the list but it seems to be relevant to the discussion. If you are reading this it probably confirms my theory that long "To:" lines are the reason I've been unable to post to the list, and that might be affecting other people too. -- Mailing list:

I know how irritating a bunch of "me-too" replies and rants are. But in this case we're talking about the one reason Ubuntu phones don't work and can't work. A crowd of people yelling might actually achieve something. I also carry two phones, a very nice MX4 and a very beaten-up iPhone 4. I

I just came back from a three-week backpacking holiday. My plan was to test Ubuntu Touch by carrying my MX4 as my primary phone, falling back to an iPhone 4 when necessary. That plan lasted about a day and a half. After that I used the iPhone and rarely bothered with the MX4. I have a long
