I try to have as few programs installed as possibly. But I can't seem to find a reliable way to copy/move files from my PC to my Android smartphone. I use Debian and LineageOS on both of my Xiaomi devices.
Every time I use cp
, mv
or even rsync
I get errors saying something like "input output error" or something like that.
I have used jmtpfs and android-file-transfer and I had problem with both of them.
Am I missing something, some drivers or something like that?
In the past I remember that when I used a file manager I didn't experience non of these problems but honestly I don't want to install a file manager just to be able to transfer files correctly from my PC to my phone.
I've read that using MTP is mostly a hit or miss. But how can the file managers be able to transfer files correctly?
