From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using SSHelper together with rsync for years and it works perfectly. You can log in the first time with a password, and place your public key to use key based auth going forward.
In addition to doing this over WiFi I also often use a usb to ethernet adapter (usb side plugged into phone) to get better performance if I'm doing larger transfers, for example copying off a large number of photos.
Edit: looks like there's a note on the play store page about incompatibility with newer Android versions. Disappointing. I guess I'll have to find another solution when I eventually upgrade my phone.
