From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Server or desktop, and what types of files? I find that a self-hosted version of NextCloud does pretty well for keeping contacts, images, and videos in sync.
(You could run it on a Pi as an intermediary to both if desired)
I used to use stuff like AndFTP in the past for similar functions
I use kdeconnect with this script: https://github.com/Samueru-sama/kdeconnect-any-filemanager
Lot of people mentioning kde connect. I'm going to take a moment to clarify, kde connevts functionality is modular. you need the sshfs package for it to mount the phones filesystem over ssh. Once you've done that, it works pretty normally.
The android nextcloud client works great if you're willing to setup/maintain a nextcloud server.
X-plore on android can give file access via Web frontend in paid Version.
With that you can drag and drop files if that's what you're looking for.

Mostly because I'm not the most competent techie, I've been using VLC between my PC and iPhone, for moving "books" around on devices that are very out of date.
I use Airdroid! It's free and works very well
samba. share a folder on pc, and on your phone use a file manager that can access smb folders in your local network, then just copy or move from or to that folder. bit of a hassle to set up the first time, but makes things more convenient in the long run.
I am surprised that most reliable and more importantly desktop environment independent solution is not as popular here.
I use it with iOS. Owlfiles app supports samba, but I am sure there are others.
My go to hack was quickly running a python http server and connect to it. I can't remember what the command was exactly. Something like python -m http.server or so, then connect to the ip from my phone, heh.
