If your phone and your computer can connect to the same wifi router (not |
| 24 |
necessarily both wifi; the SGS3 use wifi, you're computer can use a UTP |
| 25 |
cable), I suggest installing AirDroid on your SGS3. |

|

Then you can access your SGS3 using your browser :-) |

... unless your Gentoo is pure text-based. In which situation, AndFTP is a |
| 30 |
good choice. |

| 32 |
Or... you can turn the relation around: Install ES File Explorer on the |
| 33 |
SGS3, and you can use FTP or Samba to transfer files. |
