I dislike the idea of installing a (ftp,scp,etc)-server on my phone. I hate the idea of installing a (ftp,scp,etc)-client on my phone.

But copying videos and podcasts on my phone via usb is a hassle just as well.

So...

This suites me well. I scp a file to my server and then just stream it from there to my phone using any podcast viewer I like.

Doesn'nt that suite you too?
