Hello everyone, This worked fine on my older Android Photon Q so I expected the same on this new Galaxy S5. I plugged in the cable, found the mount point and, as my guest1 user, located the filesystem and files. I saw they were rw (read/write) and thought all was well. I tried to tar the whole thing up and noticed errors. Here's some more detail: laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D $ fl \*.jpg File Find Utility by Lewis - 3/23/2011 Version 1 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 753726 Jan 23 16:37:02 2015 IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 703395 Jan 23 16:37:12 2015 IMG_20150123_163712_747.jpg -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 1194428 Jan 23 16:37:20 2015 IMG_20150123_163720_312.jpg laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D $ cd Card/DCIM/Camera laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera $ file IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg: writable, executable, regular file, no read permission laptop4 /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C005%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera $ cp IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg /tmp cp: cannot open IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg for reading: Operation not supported Not sure I have ever seen a situation like this. I can change the phone from MTP to PTP mode but then all of the files do not show up (but I can copy the files that do). I tried looking at this issue on the net but all I got was noise. This is on: Fedora release 21 (Twenty One) Kernel \r on an \m (\l) Linux laptop4.com 3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 03:08:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks in advance for any help. I should have checked this right when I got the phone but didn't think of it. Jim Lewis http://jklewis.com <- My resume, Java games, and link to my Linux book are here.
