NAME¶
jmptfs - FUSE based filesystem for accessing MTP devices
SYNOPSIS¶
jmtpfs [
options]
MOUNTPOINT
DESCRIPTION¶
jmtpfs is a FUSE and libmtp based filesystem for accessing MTP (Media
Transfer Protocol) devices. It was specifically designed for exchaning files
between Linux (and Mac OS X) systems and newer Android devices that support
MTP but not USB Mass Storage.
The goal is to create a well-behaved filesystem, allowing tools like
find(1) and
rsync(1) to work as expected. MTP file types are set
automatically based on file type detection using
libmagic(3).
Setting the file type is necessary for some Android applications, like
Gallery, to be able to find and use the files uploaded to the device.
USAGE¶
For regular use, simply specifying a MOUNTPOINT will have the first available
MTP device mounted under it. Mounted devices should be unmounted using
- fusermount -u MOUNTPOINT
(see
fusermount(1) for more details).
Note: most (if not all) Android phones have to be unlocked when first
accessed over MTP; if you get an input/output error on the mountpoint, unlock
the phone and retry.
OPTIONS¶
jmtpfs accepts the following options:
- -h
- Show summary of options.
- -V, --version
- Show the program version.
- -l, --listDevices
- List all available MTP devices.
- -device=<busnum>,<devnum>
- Specify the device to mount. If unspecified, the first device found is
used.
In addition to these options, all options supported by
fuse(8) are
available. See
jmtpfs -h for more information.
