Oops. > Matthew Miller > <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fedora Project Leader Hi Matthew, I did not have simple-mtpfs and so installed it. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to make it do anything. Keeps returning back to the command line with error code 1, and strace shows permission BS. I will do some more research and post my findings later. I didn't think this would work but I was able to copy the files using the GUI. This is somewhat cumbersome, and still doesn't make any sense, but at least I can get movies off my phone now.
