Sorry, should've labelled the previous mail as SOLVED. 

Yes Chris, I have and 'airdroid' does work well, but it requires you to
have the webpage for it to be opened and airdroid running on the phone
all at the same time, and the webpage does eventually time out. Whereas
pcmanfm works from the desktop and the phone is passive all the time,
and neither times out.
