Cannot copy files and folders from laptop (Kubuntu 16.04) to micro SD from my mobile phone (Android 5.1.1.).

In the mean time I do manage to copy them from my laptop to the micro sd card 
in the phone - however,  the process is being accompanied by a lot of 
difficulties., failures and crashes. Often, the "mtp protocol" dies 
"unexpectedly".  Additionally, it takes time to "examin" the sd card. Finally, 
the system cannot calculate the exact size of a file on the SD card via the mtp 
protocol.

I really love KDE Connect - a package with several useful functions.

However, I do not manage to copy files in either direction via that wireless 
way.

Yours.
