#1 - kdeconnect. Plus several other cool features on it

Or sshfs between computers

OK. Now tell me how I do it when I want to send it between a phone and a laptop tethered to that phone via hotspot.

Honestly? Hardwire is the only way I've found to always consistently transfer files like this, to this very day

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

But that kills the hotspot :(

Localsend, I mean kde connect will work this way but I find local send more reliable

What I do is start a micro web server with Python on a termux terminal, if you don't have root on said device you'll be stuck in the /data/data/com.termux/files/ but its still enough to save files with Firefox to said directory on the files/home/ I believe? (export or share to termux and you'll be taken to termux on the aforementioned directory, where you can always pwd to know where you are) however if you do have root you'll be able to literally start the mini web server on the / or any folder you like. And then on your laptop you browse to the IP of the phone and the custom port, which if its hotspot you can also find via termux or tends to be 172.20.10.1 or something mundane depending on your carrier.
