For what it's worth, you can use ADB for this purpose...

Enable USB debugging in developer options on your phone
Install ADB on your computer
Plug in your phone
Run adb tcpip 8084
Unplug your phone
Run adb connect 192.168.0.56:8084 (replace the IP address with your phone's address)

You can now transfer files.

To send a file to your phone:

adb push /path/to/file/on/computer.txt /sdcard/folder/on/your/phone/

To receive a file from your phone:

adb pull /sdcard/file/on/your/phone /folder/on/your/computer/

Simply create a hotspot on your laptop and use SFTP. To install the ssh server, just run

sudo apt install ssh

then you can SFTP by using the hostname which you can find with

hostname

All you need on your phone is an SFTP client.

Install an FTP Server app on your Phone and connect with your File browser or any FTP Client.

I use this one from F-Droid: FTP Server (Free)

ftp://ip-address-of-your-phone/

OP said that they don't want to be connected to an external WiFi hotspot, which this requires. – NerdOfLinux Aug 21 '17 at 14:58
This works with a simple Hotspot. I thought this is common knowledge and assumed OP knows how to create one ... – pLumo Aug 21 '17 at 15:04
