Hi Peter,
Don't want to keep throwing links at you but I had two saved when I was
playing with Debian on my other laptop. The other link I had was this one
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/n2skx6/connecting_android_phone/
I never completed getting mine to work as I ended up replacing the hard
drive and re-installed a different (debian based) distro
Hope it helps

Not sure how relevant it is now a days
Thanks Tim. That didn't work, but the CLI did provide a possibly more
informative error message:
error returned by libusb_claim_interface() = -6LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to
initialize device
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'MtpErrorCantOpenDevice'
what(): Can't open device
The phone itself has instructions for file transfer with Windows and Mac
computers, but not Linux. As Android is based on Linux, that seems a
little odd to me.
I have found a way to contact the manufacturer, Motorola. Maybe they can
solve the problem.
Peter Alefounder.
