Re: How do I access mtp from the command line?
Mtp is a barely a protocol, its implementation actually differs widely for each device that uses it. I remember years ago I needed it for a old hard drive mp3 player I had and it was always annoying to get working to say the least. That said if you need support for a recent device that uses it you should always get the latest from source because no two devices implement it the same way, so it's a race between the hardware manufacturers and the maintainers of libmtp which the maintainers can never really win but they do their best to keep up.

I should note that I have a link from dnf to yum in SL and a link from yum to dnf in Fedora, as I am always mixing them up. I do not do SL server anymore due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353423 I instead have switched to Fedora Servers. Both have their issues. I find Fedora Servers more stable. And if RHEL won't run on a C236 chipset, then it beside the point which is better. And RH refuses to help. I get it. Open Source's economic model is to give the software away for free and charge for the maintenance. And since I can not put them on my payroll, it is a no win situation.

But Thunar does as mtp://[usb:002,010] Question: how do I access mtp://[usb:002,010] from the command line? You can use fuse-based mtp implementation; it will allow you to mount your device into filesystem and use whatever tools you like. E.g. simple-mtpfs works (you can rebuilt srpm from Fedora or get it straight from source https://github.com/phatina/simple-mtpfs). Install libmpt-examples (for mpt-detect) and simple-mtpfs and do something like sudo mtp-detect sudo simple-mtpfs -o allow_other,direct_io /home/user/Kindle after you're done, unmount with "fusermount -u /home/user/Kindle" If you are going to read/write huge files like movies, make sure you got plenty of space in /tmp or redefine TMPDIR, otherwise the operation will fail (MPT doesn't operate on whole files so it needs space to store chunks which will be assembled to real files). Thank you!
