Hi all:
Am working with a client that has an android phone, and each time he needs me to transfer huge amount of data from my mac to his Android phone, so using wetransfer or google drive is not the best choice for both of us,
i searched and i found 2 mac apps, one is Open FTp, and another app which has the same interface, i can open his mobile and can see it's content,
but there is no way to copy or paste from or 2 his mobile.
do not know if this is related to accessibility or what?
but what are your suggestions?

try through justbeamit or via cable
2 things that should work.
what is justbeamit
I tried using the cable but with no luck,
also, what is justbeamit
Bluetooth
I don't have an Android device so can't get into specifics on that end, but I'd imagine it's possible to transfer files by pairing your Mac and phone via Bluetooth, enabling Bluetooth sharing on your Mac in System Settings > General > Sharing, and then sharing files from your phone to your Mac.
Android File Transfer and Just Beam It
Use the Android File Transfer app.
https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You can use Bluetooth, but unless you're sending very small files, it's going to be painfully slow. Last I checked, Bluetooth only transfers at a few hundred killobytes per second, so I really mean it when I say it's going to be painfully slow if you have a file over 5 or so meggabytes in size.
As for Just Beam It, it's a website to quickly transfer files between two people or computers. You create a link on www.justbeamit.com and send it to the person or device you want to send the content to. It creates a peer-to-peer connection between the sender and receiver and can transfer any size file as quickly as the sender can upload and the receiver can download it.
how can i send to it?
I downloaded the app already, but there is no way to copy from the app or even to it. do you have an idea?
Drag and Drop
I haven't used the app in many years, but last I remember, I think you have to use VoiceOver drag and drop commands. Press VO Comma to mark an item, move to the location you want it to go in Android File Transfer, and press VO period. Have you tried using the standard copy and paste commands from the Finder? It would be great if Apple would support MTP natively, but we can't add proper support for a competing product because We're Apple and everyone should be using iOS.
