Ubuntu – How to transfer files from Samsung Galaxy to Ubuntu 12.04

androidbluetoothmtpsamsung

I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-S7562 with Android 4.0.4 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Vostro 1510.

I have just found out I cannot transfer files from Android to Ubuntu with a USB connection because the former uses MTP. gMTP didn't help.

I also found out Ubuntu can't get my Bluetooth working either. So I can't transfer files this way either.

Can I use make a transfer via a wireless network? What other options are left?

You might be able to use AirDroid to transfer files over home WiFi. I sometimes use it and it works well for me.
