Both my Ubuntu and Android phone are using the same Wi-Fi. How can I transfer files between the phone and the PC? Is there any way to mount the Android file system? I don't want to use the USB cable. Bluetooth doesn't work. So WiFi is the only other option.
The Android version is Jelly Bean and Ubuntu is 12.04 LTS.

There is a free application on the Google Play store called Software Data Cable:
Once you've installed it, turn on your WiFi connection and launch the app.
Tap on the "start service" button.
It creates a FTP server on the android device that lets you connect from any computer by opening the resource:
where 192.168.1.xxx is the IP address of your device.
You can now copy/paste files over WiFi from/to your android device.
PS - on ubuntu 18.04 get into nautilus and hit
