Post by bilsch01I got it now. A black-colored notice that is displayed momentarily by
'KDE connect indicator' software
has the option 'accept' if you move your pointer over the notice. The
reason for the 'timed out' status was because I was not clicking
'accept' on time.
IMHO, KDEConnect is a keeper, and, when it works, it's very convenient for
small numbers of files, but when you want to copy the entire file system of
Android over to the PC, I wouldn't use KDE Connect.
Also, KDEConnect is flaky as all hell (in my experience) on Windows.
o Although it matters _greatly_ which KDE Connect you install!
(ask me how I know)
If the OP looks at this post, he'll find _many_ options, including KDE:

For example, here's a snippet from that post:
Here's a quick summary of what I've used in the past for easy "mounting" of
the entire Android file system (including the root filesystem) using an
unrooted Nougat phone on Windows and Ubuntu.
1. MTP over USB: (*MTPDrive*)

Those interested in solving this rather difficult problem, please see the
kdeconnect solution purposefully helpfully proposed by J.O. Aho on the
subthread with the windows group removed:
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.os.linux/rN0tMFWPwHo/OsFWn5y3CAAJ>
"KDE Connect is an Android app and a Desktop app that acts as a
bridge between your mobile devices and your computers....
KDE Connect supports sending files bi-directionally between
your devices as well as mounting your mobile devices to the
file manager of your computer to wirelessly browse your devices"
