Ah, thanks for explaining. You'd think the GUI would explain that it is 
the LINUX server setup that it's asking about, but, I guess anyone using 
that app is *supposed* to already know which is the server and which is 
the client.

In this case, what you said was that the app is asking for how the Linux 
FTP server is *already* set up.

In this case, the Linux FTP server doesn't exist, so, now I see why it's 
impossible for me to answer those questions. I've said already that I 
would rather not create another server on my Linux laptop just to copy a 
bunch of pictures over - because ... 
a) There must be an easier more straightforward way, and, 
b) Every server is a security hole requiring due diligence.

I think the best two suggestions, to date, are:
1. Use KDE connect (although that might be yet another server), or, 
2. Use an SSH SFTP client (which seems to have the most promise without 
setting up a *new* server on the Linux laptop).

Thanks. I figured it all out and used Turbo Client to quickly transfer a 
few hundred photos as a test case.

Once you get the bare-bones and highly inconsistent GUI figured out, the 
thing works quite well!

Having file names constantly change case is odd, and unforgivable, but, 
if you simply ignore all file casing and if you get over the fact there 
are more than a half dozen DCIM directories scattered about, and if you 
finally manage to navigate without wiping out everything you've done to 
date, it's nice and fast.

Thanks!

ES File Explorer has a decent SFTP client, too. You could have (still 
could!) use that. I use it all the time for the same reason you do, to 
transfer music and picture files between my phone and PC.  

I was confused before when you said you planned to transfer files via 
SSH. I guess you meant SFTP. I'm surprised that your laptop had a 
working SFTP server installed and running by default. SFTP is akin to 
FTP and both carry some (but not a lot of) security risk, as both can 
allow other people access to your computer. SFTP is more secure because 
the connection is encrypted. If I were you I'd do what I suggested 
before: enable the SFTP server when you need to transfer some files and 
then disable it when you aren't using it.

Nil, I did try ES File Explorer Manager, but, as you know, for these 
kinds of things where you just want to get the overall job done (which, 
in this case, is transferring large batches of files), I'll stick with 
the first WiFi solution that worked - which was Turbo Client.

I agree with you that I meant SFTP (I really wasn't sure of *what* I 
wanted as I just wanted files to go over en masse). I do use VPN quite a 
lot, so, I do have openVPN installed, so, maybe (I didn't check) that's 
where the SFTP server came from. I really don't know *where* it came 
from, but, I was glad not to have to set up yet another server on Linux.

That's a good idea, but, at the moment, I don't even know what the server 
is called. Running a ps -auxww and then grepping for ftp finds nothing 
running; however, grepping for "ssh" nets "/usr/sbin/sshd -D" running by 
root.

    Actually, you can easily set up the phone as an SSH server and just
point and click mount your phone from Linux. Then what's on the phone 
just looks like any other folder.

That's an interesting idea because when the USB cable worked, that's 
pretty much what happened.

The phone was mounted as two mount points (one for the SD card and the 
other for the internal memory) on Linux.

Turbo Client is an extremely unpolished GUI, which is unforgiving of 
mistakes, but it's fast and efficient once you're over the learning curve.
The learning curve has *nothing* to do with the process; it has 
everything to do with the unpolished GUI.

However, once you're past that learning curve, the thing is fast, and 
efficient, which, pretty much, is the most you can hope for.

Thanks!

No, the phone acts as the server - so the laptop needs to run FTP client 
software

Yes, sorry - I meant ES File Explorer

Sorry again - I think I misled you a bit. There are 2 levels of Network 
option, and you only need the first.

On my phone, the Fast Access menu has 5 options:
Favorite
Local
Library
Network
Tools

If I tap Network, I get 8 options, the first of which is Network (again) 
and the 7th one is Remote Manager. *That's* the one you want!

Tap that, and you'll get a screen with a 'Turn on' button. Tap that and 
you'll get:
"Input the address on your PC"
ftp://192.168.1.74:3721 - or whatever (yours may be different)

That's the address which you need to give to your FTP client software on 
the laptop.

No. When you use a USB cable, the phone appears to the laptop like an 
external disk, but the same doesn't apply to WiFi.

I tell my router to give all devices that I own and consistently 
connect to my home network a static IP address. That's not to say that 
I give the device a fixed address, it means that my router's DHCP 
server knows to reserve a particular address and always assign it to 
that particular device when requested. The device is still set to ask 
for an address from DHCP, so it will still work when connected to other 
networks, but it will always get the same address on my own network. 
That would avoid your problem about changing addresses. I use that 
method for wireless portable devices like my phones, tablets, and 
laptops. The wired devices (desktop computers, smart TV, printer) are 
set with a fixed address outside the DHCP pool.)
