First, to be clear, transferring files is just one minor thing that adb
does, along with screen copy, between desktops and Android phones.

However...

If I wanted to "transfer files" only, between *any* two operating systems,
I'd use LocalSend first, since it's the canonical app for that purpose.
<https://localsend.org/download>

Even with that in mind, since I have never heard of warpinator, I looked up
what it is and how it compares to local send in terms of what matters.
<https://warpinator.net/>

Apparently LocalSend and Warpinator both transfer files over the local
network without using the cloud, so they only fundamentally differ in
architecture, platform support, and workflow.
Android: https://github.com/slowscript/warpinator-android
Windows: https://winpinator.swisz.cz
Windows: https://github.com/slowscript/warpinator-windows

Apparently LocalSend uses HTTPS with self-generated TLS certificates,
encrypting all traffic without relying on external authorities. By way of
contrast, apparently Warpinator uses SSH-based secure transfers.

Apparently LocalSend has a more mature GUI but the Linux Warpinator GUI is
apparently tried and true, so it's a good choice for the Linux team. It's
especially useful on Mint systems as it comes pre-installed by default.

It's a little disturbing that the canonical warpinator page is broken
(at least when I went there using the MS Edge browser on Windows 10)

Luckily, there is an unofficial warpinator for Windows distribution
<https://github.com/slowscript/warpinator-windows>

Note that web page above warns people ...
"http://warpinator.com is a fake website, potentially malicious!"
