1. Install AndFTP on your phone and openssh-server on your computer

2. Make sure both cellphone and computer are on the same network (ie 
both on your house wifi, for example)

3. Find out the local IP address of your computer (eg 192.168.1.42)

4. Add that as a server in the AndFTP config

Now when you want to transfer files:

1. Open your image browser on the phone (eg Gallery)

2. Select the image[s]

3. Click Share

4. Select AndFTP

5. Select the icon for your computer.

Done.

If your house router doesn't allocate the same IP address to your laptop 
each time it boots, go into the router config and add it as a fixed IP 
address.
