NAME

6       jmptfs - FUSE based filesystem for accessing MTP devices
7

SYNOPSIS

9       jmtpfs [options] MOUNTPOINT
10

DESCRIPTION

12       jmtpfs  is  a FUSE and libmtp based filesystem for accessing MTP (Media
13       Transfer Protocol) devices. It was specifically designed for  exchaning
14       files  between  Linux  (and Mac OS X) systems and newer Android devices
15       that support MTP but not USB Mass Storage.
16
17       The goal is to create a well-behaved filesystem,  allowing  tools  like
18       find(1)  and rsync(1) to work as expected. MTP file types are set auto‐
19       matically based on file type detection using libmagic(3).  Setting  the
20       file  type is necessary for some Android applications, like Gallery, to
21       be able to find and use the files uploaded to the device.
22

USAGE

24       For regular use, simply specifying a MOUNTPOINT  will  have  the  first
25       available  MTP  device  mounted  under  it.  Mounted  devices should be
26       unmounted using
27
28              fusermount -u MOUNTPOINT
29
30       (see fusermount(1) for more details).
31
32       Note: most (if not all) Android phones have to be unlocked  when  first
33       accessed  over MTP; if you get an input/output error on the mountpoint,
34       unlock the phone and retry.
