But, as I mentioned my older phone worked fine so maybe the problem is with this Galaxy S5. I am rather confused by the error message. Running "mount" shows the filesystem is "rw", an "ls -la" shows: -rw------- 1 guest1 guest1 753726 Jan 23 16:37:02 2015 IMG_20150123_163703_512.jpg but the file command says it's "writable, executable, regular file, no read permission". Yes I am running as guest1 (since you can't get into the directory as root which in itself is bizarre). All I want to do is copy the damn files to my hard drive. So does anyone have any idea on what I should try next? Maybe try different mount options? Also, is this a bug in Fedora? Oops, almost forgot to answer the question. My phone also has the MTP and PTP options. It came up MTP and that let's me see every file but not copy them. PTP works and I can copy the files it shows, it just doesn't show them all. It might be showing just the working files on the phone, not the pictures and videos. Jim Lewis http://jklewis.com <- My resume, Java games, and link to my Linux book are here.
