I'd like to transfer a directory of personal information
(not just contacts) from my Fedora-19/KDE laptop
to my Samsung Galaxy S2 android phone.
What is the best way currently to do this?
Is MTP functional now?
I'd prefer if possible to use rsync.

Not for me and my Samsung Galaxy S2Plus (Android 4.2.2) w/
xfce.
It used to "sort of work" (hung and crashed many times) with F19, but
absolutely no trace of success with F19.
... no, simple-mtpfs is not a option, my experiences with it are such
kind of negative, I do not want to look into this stuff, again.
I'd prefer if possible to use rsync.
Like I said in reply
to another similar mail before, I am using SSHelper
for exactly this kind of jobs (rsync).

Like I said in reply to another similar mail before, I am using
SSHelper
for exactly this kind of jobs (rsync).
I tried the various suggestions I received,
but SSHelper seemed easily the best.
It is rather awkward to install -
it does not seem to appear in (Google) Play Store on my phone,
but I followed the installation (and other) instructions at
<http://arachnoid.com/android/SSHelper/>;.
Now I have a very clear view of the filesystem on my phone,
and I can edit and add files on the phone from my Fedora laptop.
The only thing I am missing is a method to read and edit files
on the phone.
If I click on the Terminal icon in SSHelper I get the message
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
which I don't understand.
Is there a standard way to turn job control on?
Has anyone a favourite app for reading/editing text files
on an Android phone?

Not for me. I installed it the normal way via
Play Store.
it does not seem to appear in (Google) Play Store on my phone,
It does so on my phone's (Galaxy S2+/Android 4.2.2), my wife's phone's
(Galaxy S2+/Android 4.1.2) and our "low-end couch-surfing tablet" (Acer
Iconia B1-A71/Android 4.1.2) play store.
but I followed the installation (and other) instructions at
<http://arachnoid.com/android/SSHelper/>;.
Now I have a very clear view of the filesystem on my phone,
and I can edit and add files on the phone from my Fedora laptop.
I am using SSHelper primarily to ssh and rsync from my fedora boxes into
the android devices via WLAN/WiFi. Works without any problems. The
built-in vi also seems to work via ssh, but I haven't really used it, yet.
The only thing I am missing is a method to read and edit files
on the phone.
If I click on the Terminal icon in SSHelper I get the message
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
which I don't understand.
I am seeing the same. The terminal doesn't work
for me, either.
Is there a standard way to turn job control on?

do you have to root your phone to be able to use that feature?

I have QuickOffice Pro that I bought on a cheap sale but I don't use it
much. I think it is useful for editing files on SD card or in the
simulated SD card space on built-in memory but otherwise a no-go if the
phone isn't rooted and even then, you would probably need super-su app
to give editing permissions.

I asked the author of SSHelper, but got the rather bizarre reply
that I didn't need to turn it on, as I am the only user.
Unfortunately he did not say how to use the Terminal facility
in SSHelper, which does not allow input after the above warning.

But I have no problem editing files on the phone
after ssh-ing in from my laptop,
so I don't think there can be any permissions problem.
I just don't have any way of doing this directly on the phone.
I don't even have any way of reading text files on the phone.

My Galaxy Tab both have Dropbox as does my Linux laptop. It's easy and
convenient but depends on the speed of your internet (1MB over line drivers
to a remote DSL router is painful)
I have WellFTP installed on both devices and Filezilla installed. This is much
quicker as it only uses the local WIFI AP

I have a Samsung Note II. I use Syncbot to upload and download my files

Try simple-mtpfs on a small memory machine in conjunction with a big
SD-Card on Android.
This is what I was facing with f18:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=971878
I haven't tried with F19, yet, but the f18 issue clearly disqualifies
simple-mtpfs from being taken serious to me.

"simple-mtpfs" is *not* responsible for broken by design
decisions of a distribution like /tmp on tmpfs and so
the component should be "distribution" instead

Well, it's not a secret what I think about /tmp on tmpfs: IMO, this was
a severe Fedora project leadership failure ;)
That said, you are right, Fedora has broken simple-mtpfs's "simple
design", nevertheless it's now up to the simple-mtpfs package maintainer
to cope with the mal functions of his package.
