jmtpfs: Exchanging files between Android devices and Linux
If you want to transfer media between your Android device and your computer, you have to use MTP. Apparently, Windows ships with support for this, and Google makes OS X drivers freely available, but you’re on your own if you want to talk to a GNU/Linux machine.
There’s a library called
libmtpfor this and a FUSE module calledmtpfs. But it doesn’t work very well.Instead, use
jmtpfs. It seems to be much more stable and performant. Try it!
What?
I just plug the phone in and the sdcard automatically mounts, like any other usb device.
If I’m away from the computer, I can also use an android ftp client and swap files around.
Failing those two options, I can remove the sdcard and use an scard reader.
So many very simple options. No worries.

It just works in Ubuntu. Or it works a little weirdly so that I knew it was not USB, but it did work.
