You'll need something like simple-mtpfs (available from the repos) to
mount the phone/tablet as a disk drive, then navigate through that
mountpoint to find where the stuff is. I use it for my S5 phone.
From that point on, it's up to you to do what you will.
My system is Gnome DT and "gvfs-mtp" is installed. I can see the phones
files in /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp\:host\=%5Busb%3A001%2C008%5D/.
The problem I am having is that I can't use "cp -a
<path/to/files/on/phone> <path/to/dest>" or "rsync -av
<path/to/files/on/phone> <path/to/dest>". I can only use Gnome filer
manager to copy the file from the phone to the computer.
I have installed simple-mtpfs and tried to mount the phones file system
to local directory without success.
What is the problem? I can't see it :-)
First off, you need to see which devices MTP sees:
[rick@prophead ~]$ simple-mtpfs -l
1: SamsungGalaxy models (MTP)
In my case, just my Galaxy S5.
Next, make sure you have write privileges on the mountpoint you want. I
just created a mountpoint in my home directory for testing:
[rick@prophead ~]$ mkdir tstmnt
Next, I mounted my phone there:
[rick@prophead ~]$ simple-mtpfs --device 1 tstmnt
To verify it, I checked what's mounted (I've stripped out irrelevant
stuff from the following list):
[rick@prophead ~]$ mount
...
simple-mtpfs on /home/rick/tstmnt type fuse.simple-mtpfs
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
...
And getting a listing of what's mounted there:
[rick@prophead ~]$ ls -l tstmnt
total 0
drwxrwxr-x. 2 rick rick 0 Dec 31 1969 Card
drwxrwxr-x. 2 rick rick 0 Dec 31 1969 Phone
So, there's a "Card" directory (the SD card in my phone) and a "Phone"
directory (the internal phone storage). I LOVE the fact that the dates
shown are pre-Unix epoch! Cute, eh? (For reference, the Unix epoch
started at 00:00:00.00, January 1, 1970 UTC). I thought Android was
Linux based. :-)
To unmount, just use the normal umount command, but you need to be root
to do it:
[rick@prophead ~]$ sudo umount ~rick/tstmnt
Voila!
There are ways to make this happen automagically by buggering some udev
rules and such, but I've not done it.
