On bullseye I have android-file-transfer installed. I connect the phone to the PC with USB, and run this function: samsungd () { sudo mkdir -p /media/samsungd || true; sudo chown "$USER" /media/samsungd; aft-mtp-mount /media/samsungd } whereupon the phone will ask: Allow access to phone data? … … [Deny] [Allow] Tapping Allow makes the contents of the phone appear under /media/samsungd. I use mc to transfer files in each direction. When I've finished, I run: unsamsungd () { ###; fusermount -u /media/samsungd; sudo rmdir /media/samsungd || true } and disconnect the cable (the one that came in the box with the phone). Actually, the ### is really a call to a function that runs a flavour of updatedb, and generates a compressed ls -lAR (for mc) and a compressed custom listing of all the files (date/size/name). BTW the d distinguishes my own phone from our other one when they're both connected (there's no daemon involved). As for (android-tools-)adb, I read that unless android-sdk-platform-tools-common is installed, you need to run adb as root. I don't know what extra things adb buys you, compared with android-file-transfer. I'm mainly interested in pictures, movies, audio, and stuff like that, rather than screwing around the phone's internals. Cheers, David.
