There are handful of android file transfer applications available for Linux. Android File Transfer is an MTP utility client to transfer data between Android and Linux. It is a clone of Android File Transfer which is available for Mac OS.
It is very simple and has very minimalistic easy to use user interface, this program is written in Qt. If you are having difficulty mounting your Android device then give this application a shot and you won't regret it "It just works".

It lets you download files/directories and upload files/directories, create new directories and delete something from your Android device. It has drag and drop support, you can view the progress of file transfer. Also CLI tool available if you are more terminal geek.


Features:
  • Simple Qt UI with progress dialogs.
  • FUSE wrapper (If you'd prefer mounting your device), supporting partial read/writes, allowing instant access to your files.
  • No file size limits.
  • Automatically renames album cover to make it visible from media player.
  • USB 'Zerocopy' support found in recent Linux kernel (no user/kernel data copying)
  • No extra dependencies (e.g. libptp/libmtp).
  • Available as static/shared library.
  • Command line tool (aft-mtp-cli)
