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
