About:
Whoozle Android File Transfer is a standalone, open-source implementation of the Android MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) protocol for Linux systems. It provides a reliable and lightweight alternative to Google's official Android File Transfer for desktop, enabling direct file management between Android devices and Linux machines without cloud services.

Key Features:

MTP protocol implementation without external dependencies
Command-line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI)
Support for file operations like copy, move, delete, and directory creation
No need for ADB or Android SDK installation

Use Cases:

Transferring files between Android devices and Linux desktops
Managing phone storage directly from the Linux terminal
Automating Android file operations via shell scripts

Alternatives:

go-mtpfs – FUSE-based filesystem; requires FUSE setup, while whoozle provides both CLI and GUI options
gvfs-mtp – GNOME's integrated MTP support; part of a larger desktop environment, while whoozle is a lightweight standalone tool
