On bullseye I have android-file-transfer installed. I connect the
phone to the PC with USB, and run this function:
samsungd ()
{
sudo mkdir -p /media/samsungd || true;
sudo chown "$USER" /media/samsungd;
aft-mtp-mount /media/samsungd
}
whereupon the phone will ask:
Allow access to phone data?
… …
[Deny] [Allow]
Tapping Allow makes the contents of the phone appear under
/media/samsungd. I use mc to transfer files in each direction.
When I've finished, I run:
unsamsungd ()
{
###;
fusermount -u /media/samsungd;
sudo rmdir /media/samsungd || true
}
and disconnect the cable (the one that came in the box with the phone).
Actually, the ### is really a call to a function that runs a flavour
of updatedb, and generates a compressed ls -lAR (for mc) and a
compressed custom listing of all the files (date/size/name).
BTW the d distinguishes my own phone from our other one when they're
both connected (there's no daemon involved).
As for (android-tools-)adb, I read that unless
android-sdk-platform-tools-common is installed, you need to run adb
as root. I don't know what extra things adb buys you, compared with
android-file-transfer. I'm mainly interested in pictures, movies,
audio, and stuff like that, rather than screwing around the phone's
internals.
Cheers,
David.
