I connected my phone using an USB cord to my desktop, but Ubuntu does not detect the phone.
How do i transfer files to and fro from my computer ?

@Rajeev Probably you must select mass storage mode in your Phone. If this solved the problem for you then you are kindly requested to remove your question.– VenkateshApr 11, 2014 at 8:44

Android: Open notifications, and see if "USB Connected" is coming up. Tap on it. Then tap on "Turn on USB Storage". If any window comes up, tap OK. Wait for a while till logo changes to orange, Ubuntu-jealous Android robot.
iPhone: Bad luck. iTunes is your only way and there is no iTunes available for Linux. There is one way though; open Terminal and type these commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ingo/ios7support
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Reboot your PC, and connect your iPhone again. Press "Trust" if a "Trust this PC" window comes up on your iPhone. It should appear like a hard drive/USB Storage device after this.
Nokia Symbian/Cheap cell phones: Connect to PC. See if connection mode window pops up on screen. Select Mass Storage.
