If you use USB you need a cable allowing data, some allow only power.
Then you have to enable USB debug in developpement options (which you
have to enable using some magic specific to your model, search internet
for it). And USB must be accepted in MTP mode on your phone (usually by
default). If all this is done your device should be listed.
There is also some applications that can do transfer, like syncopoli
using rsync without USB. Or syncthing. Or termux on which you can use
subversion or git or other unix tools.
