MTP, usb mass-storage (if your phone supports it) or kdeconnect if you prefer wifi.
If you want more specific answers (like how to do so from a particular GUI file manager), ask more specific questions... And please search the web first.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

Hello Steve
Thank you for taking the time to help.
I did search the web before posting my question
(Though not thorough search, i admit)
and I was inclined towards MTP option
But i did not want to rule out other options
and I was not aware of the significance of having
a particular file manager on my system.
I have Thunar file manager

Personally I use "adb push" and "adb pull" for single files, or a "female USB" to micro-USB cable, attaching it a usb pen with fat32 filesystem. Android recognizes the usb pen as external storage. With an app, I can copy my files from internal to external memory.

There are many android file transfer apps that work as ftp server. Then mc or ranger to select files or dirs to to move or copy.
Over wifi it's so much simpler.
When I used mtp, only way to get it working was to write the command 'jmptfs mtp' in the terminal without pressing enter, phone had to be open, no screen dimmed. Then hit quickly enter while phone was open.
jmptfs was the tool I used.

Re: Copy Android content from usb connected debian pc
Thunar, within XFCE works fine if all the extras are installed.
If the phone itself is set for the right mode, then plugging it in spawns a desktop icon and also a new entry in Thunar "Devices" pane. Double-click to open, right click for options. Be nice and 'unmount' before unplugging...
The issue is usually the phone.
