Android mounting.wiki

• Connected via USB
• MTP needs to be enabled on the device
• Device must be unlocked

* Wasn't the case on older devices * Massive security whole * Would allow file transfers on locked devices

• Simple-mtpfs
• Fusermount

* Comes from fuse2 * Dependency of first

• Simplest method

* Allows for mounting multiple devices at once with no challenge

• MTP

* Media Transfer Protocol * Method to transfer media files from portable devices * Extension of PTP * Photo transfer protocol

• Making use of a system called FUSE

* File system in Userspace * Userspace meaning non privileged users * Not root * Execute file system as regular user * Kernal module running in the background acts as bridge * Without FUSE or equivalent would require root * Might do a proper video on it

• A bunch of options we don't care about

* Mainly FUSE settings

• simple-mtpfs -l lists devices

* Says oppo actually realme

• Also need a place to mount

* Anywhere you have user access to * I like ~/cell

• To actually mount

* simple-mtpfs --device id mount * As long as initally requirements met you're half done * Feel free to transfer files

• What if we unplug

* Folders still here? * File system still exists

• Need to unmount

* fusermount * Can't be too damaging it's just FUSE * fusermount -u mount

• All that is too much writing

* Stick it in a script * Or use mine
