[PLUG] Still having issues with grub-pc

[Tomas Kuchta]

If you would not be hell set against totalComander - it has sftp plugin
which allows me to copy files on/off my phone.

It is probably faster than USB and definitely without the days of trouble
you like going through.

Ssh works on most Linux computers, so it is pretty easy to use for non
windows people.
