However MTP isn't even as capable as NFS since it doesn't allow random access for writes (not sure about reads). Files can only be written in their entirety or deleted. mtpfs and similar interfaces try to make it look as filesystem-like as possible using caching, but it's still important to keep this in mind. poc
