I use a Nokia 2660 Flip, and I have trouble downloading photos from it. Sometimes, I just connect the USB cable between it and my PC, and it
asks if I want to use the cable for charging or for data transfer. But
not always, and of course when I want to transfer files, it doesn't
give me the choice, it just goes direct to charge mode.
I can't find any mention of this in the manual, and my desktop PC does
not have Bluetooth, so I usually want the cable option. I have tried
different cables, I cannot find any reason for this strange behaviour.
Removing the SD card is a right pain.
Any help welcome.

It appears to support MTP over usb. I've known it make a
difference what state the phone is in when you plug it in -
though this was with Android not your phone OS. Wake the screen
up first. And It may depend on what the screen shows. I've also
known it take a while to connect.

I use FTP to transfer photos from my Android phone to my Windows desktop.
On the phone, I use ES File Manager to create an FTP server. [This is deprecated and needs to be side-loaded, but I'm sure that there are alternatives]. On the PC, I use Ace-FTP as an FTP client. Again, there
are free alternatives. This is all done over WiFi - no cables involved.
Once a connection is established, the PC displays dual Explorer-type
windows, showing the phone's files in one and the PC's in the other and allowing files to be copied in either direction.
