About:
Whoozle Android File Transfer is a lightweight, protocol-level implementation of the Android MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) for Linux systems. It provides a reliable way to manage Android devices from the command line or via a GUI, without requiring the official and often deprecated Android File Transfer application. This nightly build offers the latest features and bug fixes for cutting-edge compatibility.

Key Features:

MTP protocol implementation for direct device communication
Command-line interface (CLI) for scripting and automation
Optional Qt-based graphical user interface (GUI)
No dependency on the official Android File Transfer for Mac app
Supports file transfers, directory creation, and file management

Use Cases:

Transferring files between a Linux machine and an Android device
Automating Android device management via shell scripts
Managing media libraries on Android devices from a desktop

Alternatives:

gvfs-mtp – GNOME's Virtual File System MTP backend; integrates with the file manager but can be less reliable for some devices.
go-mtpfs – A FUSE filesystem for MTP devices written in Go; similar functionality but different implementation.
