I'm pretty sure it depends on the manufacturer and possibly distributing carrier of the phone. Ideally, the phone would act like a USB mass storage device that gives the host machine full access to the phone's internal storage, but most phone makers are probably too paranoid about consumers doing things they don't approve of and have likely crippled access to the internal storage, limiting USB mass storage access to the android equivalent of a home partition/directory if not requiring specialized software to access internal storage or blocking access entirely. So yeah, you'll probably need to use something on the phone itself, and even there, you might run into your phone's maker trying to make life harder for no adequately explained reason. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright Bachelor of Computer Science President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
