Recently there was an article by Aaron Peters in Linux Journal
(February 2013 issue): "Making Linux and Android Get Along". One of
the ways recommended there is installing SSH server on the phone and
connecting to it from Linux box (as the author writes, it's suitable
if your Linux box "is the boss" and your phone can use WiFi
connection). I prefer QuickSSHd to SSHDroid he mentioned (no ads, at
least). Then you can use command line (ssh, sftp) or one of the GUI
options (e.g. fish or sftp connection from krusader, shell link from
mc).
