There is also a (third party, I presume) version of Warpinator for Winders: 'winpinator'.

@poisonedsandwich agreed, but sometimes cables can be finnicky if the mobile device doesn't take to it...

that's true. I sometimes have to change a setting on my phone cause it automatically goes into "only charge" mode

Reinventing the wheel.

OpenSSH server (or ftpd if you're so inclined to reduce overhead) on the Linux machine and Total Commander on the Android device. Full control, put the files where you want them to go the first time.

Some of these are useful for copying files to friends' phones or other devices (though Total Commander has that covered too as long as its same network).

File/folder syncing is a different use case and deserves its own article.
