I want to copy some files from my computer to my Samsung phone. I can connect them together, and a Konqueror window opens showing the phone's storage (attachment 1), but when I try to copy a file to it, I get a message, "Writing to camera is not supported." (attachment 2).
The phone has two settings for file transfers: 1) "Transfer media files to a computer via an MTP connection." 2) "Transfer images and other files via a PTP connection if MTP is not supported."
MTP is usually the one you want as PTP will be restricted to folders usually accessed by the camera app.
I have installed jmtpfs and fuse (Devuan). I have a couple of scripts,
Correction: go-mtpfs not jmtpfs
mtpmount.sh and mtpumount.sh in my ~/bin folder as I forget what the program name is since my memory is becoming 'read, maybe'. I have a ~/mtp folder where the scripts mount the phone filesystem. MTP can get slow if graphic programs are used for file management (Krusader in my case) so I use mc.
mtpmount.sh: #!/bin/sh go-mtpfs /home/martin/mtp &
mtpumount.sh: #!/bin/sh fusermount -u /home/martin/mtp
Using either connection method produces the same result. Is there a way to tell Trinity that it's a phone, not a camera?
