I normally use
https://localsend.org/ as a simple way to move files to and
from mobile devices. It`s an app you install at both ends (there`s a
Linux-arm64 release that should work on Pis), then you just select the files
you want via the GUI at the sending end, approve the transfer at the
receiving end, and they are transferred. It doesn`t need any special
networking setup, it figures that out itself.
As it uses the phone`s existing wifi connection it`s typically faster than
using Bluetooth or USB 2 on the phone.
