[PLUG] Samsung S5 and Ubuntu 12.04,

[Chuck Hast]

I use several of these, they spin up a SSH server on the phone, and
that allows me to get into it and poke around pull or put files. One of
the things that I have noticed is that some hotels must block all non-
essential ports, because I can not get it to work in some hotel net-
works. Then you end up going direct to the device, and that can be
another mess at times. But the gMTP is working great, also DropBox
is my friend. But that is also where I have others go to get files from
work done on the road. I would rather stay away from SMB it is noisy.
Need to see what I can do to cut some of that SMB chatter down, SSH
is so quiet, once you have a server on the source device SMB is just
a irritant to me at least.
