Interestingly, yesterday I was doing a backup of my phone, but using 
Linux. I used usb3 and MTP.

First I used the GUI method. The part of the software that handled mtp 
locked. GUI method refused to work after half the files were 
transferred, need a reboot.

So I found another method, using instead "simple-mtpfs" and rsync. 
Several files failed to copy, but the thing is, using rsync I just 
repeated the copy, and after repeating for three times finally all files 
copied fine.

But my phone remains tied to the cable for possibly hours.

So I wonder about a good ftp server on the phone, to avoid the mtp 
protocol which seems problematic. But currently I don't have an ftp app 
that works. Months ago I tried 
<https://f-droid.org/packages/org.primftpd/>, but this resulted in 
transferring directories but not the files inside.

So do you know a good ftp or sftp android app that actually works?
