Re: Best means for getting photos OFF Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition?

 

I too use SFTP because MTP is unreliable. It crash nautilus often while copying big amounts of data.

Indeed, I myself use sftp too because MTP isn't reliable enough to copy
bigger chunks of data for me. For my wife, it mostly just fails to
connect to the phone at all. She actually telegrams all the data to
herself now and saves them from the Desktop Telegram client. Did we
perhaps bet on the wrong horse and should try to find an alternative to MTP?

You can even open and save files in GNOME apps that way.  If I need to
do a *very* minor update to my website, for instance, I sometimes use
Nautilus to access it (my SSH key automatically authenticates),

It's a very handy feature.
