You need to add a PPA to your system by the developer (Philip Langdale), his comments are worth reading: http://intr.overt.org/blog/?p=178&cpage=1#comment-17947
MTP is a protocol by Microsoft so you would expect it to work under Windows. Despite appearances your Walkman is not just a typical USB memory stick and some quite clever code has been written to make it appear that way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol The PPA is here: https://launchpad.net/~langdalepl/+archive/gvfs-mtp You also need to edit your udev rules, in my case this involved editing this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules It has a single line that simply identifies the device and nothing else: ATTRS{idVendor}=="054c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="059a", NAME="WALKMAN" To determine what the idProduct is going to be for your model you can enter 'mtp-detect' if you have it, or use 'udevadm monitor' - let us no if you need more help with that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1183948 Title: Can not read/write files to walkman (MTP) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1183948/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
