I have an Ubuntu Aquaris E4.5 phone and looking for and easy way of transferring multiple photo's from the SD card to my linux PC.

I have installed WifiTransfer which uses a file .local/share/wifitransfer.sil, I tried to create a symlink (never done this before). After typing the command to create the symlink I get the message "Operation not permitted".

Is the a better way to transfer batches of images? Is it possible create symlinks?

Any help appreciated.

There is a sshfs option.

SSH must be activated (there is a procedure that involves adb).

RSA authentication should be set up to avoid entering the password every time (there is another procedure that involves ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id).

The phone on my WiFi has an IP 192.168.0.11.

It is accessible on the desktop Ubuntu through the file manager using address sftp://phablet@192.168.0.11/home/phablet
