Connecting android phone using MTP[SOLVED]

Post by rsal »

I am able to connect my android mobile phone to my Debian system using MTP protocol. I can access the files (read and write) there in the file manager. In SalixOS+Mate, I installed files kiomtp and libmtp and many commands are available, but I do not know how to see my android device in the file manager:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/mtp-newfolder
/usr/bin/mtp-folders
/usr/bin/mtp-delfile
/usr/bin/mtp-newplaylist
/usr/bin/mtp-hotplug
/usr/bin/mtp-format
/usr/bin/mtp-emptyfolders
/usr/bin/mtp-albums
/usr/bin/mtp-getplaylist
/usr/bin/mtp-reset
/usr/bin/mtp-detect
/usr/bin/mtp-sendtr
/usr/bin/mtp-getfile
/usr/bin/mtp-albumart
/usr/bin/mtp-trexist
/usr/bin/mtp-sendfile
/usr/bin/mtp-thumb
/usr/bin/mtp-playlists
/usr/bin/mtp-filetree
/usr/bin/mtp-files
/usr/bin/mtp-connect
/usr/bin/mtp-tracks
Please help.

You don't see it in the file manager. You have to connect to it using the MTP protocol. You can install gmtp for a simple GUI client. Or you can install mtpfs if you actually want to have (an emulated through fuse) mountpoint.

Both gmtp and jmtpfs are available in Slackbuilds.org; I was checking only binary repositories through gslapt. Thanks.
