It was specifically designed for exchanging 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 .BR find (1) and .BR rsync (1) to work as expected. MTP file types are set automatically based on file type detection using .BR 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. .SH USAGE For regular use, simply specifying a MOUNTPOINT will have the first available MTP device mounted under it. Mounted devices should be unmounted using .IP .BR fusermount " " -u "" " " MOUNTPOINT .PP (see .BR fusermount (1) for more details). .BR 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. .SH OPTIONS .B jmtpfs accepts the following options: .TP .B \-h Show summary of options. .TP .B \-V, \-\-version Show the program version. .TP .B \-l, \-\-listDevices List all available MTP devices. .TP \fB\-device\fR=\fI\fR,\fI\fR Specify the device to mount. If unspecified, the first device found is used. .PP In addition to these options, all options supported by .BR fuse (8) are available. See .B jmtpfs -h for more information. .SH SEE ALSO .BR fuse (8), .BR fusermount (1) .SH AUTHORS jmtpfs was written by Jason Ferrara .
