Hello,

I am not all that familiar with cell phones, but I do have an Android
tablet that has an microSD slot.  I am able to copy files between
the tablet and FreeBSD by using a microSD reader on the latter.

Since the Xperia is Android-based with a microSD slot, this may be
another option, if all else fails.

Cheers ...
