[ale] [EXTERNAL] Android -> Linux file transfer

[Byron Jeff]

I never fiddle with these anymore. If I need to do file transfers to/from
Android devices, I put the phone on a network and use one of the numerous
wifi based, web server oriented, file transfer apps out there. Then it's
literally as simple as pointing a browser to a URL, selecting the file of
interest, and downloading.

It's just too much of a headache trying to figure out wire based device
connectivity anymore.
