Do others have as much trouble as I do accessing their Android phones

I never liked using MTP to transfer music to and from my android
devices. For years after many Android devices dropped USB mass
storage access, I simply installed an ssh daemon on the device and
enabled that when I wanted to send/receive music.
Slowly, it became more of a pain to do this without unlocking the
device, but then I ran across Termux (
https://termux.com/) and it's
fantasic for this and many other situations. I much prefer using
rsync to sync my music from computer to phone and vice versa.
FWIW, I've never found MTP to be capable of syncing large directories.
It's sometimes alright for small amounts of files, but it's just awful
when trying to sync a large music collection. It's both slow as a
turd compared to rsync and the implementations I've used are buggy as
hell -- disconnecting or completely failing to sync.
(And no, in case anyone asks, I have not filed any bugs or patches for
mtp tools in fedora, since I simply prefer to use rsync.)
