 If you can't get simple-mtpfs to work, there are some
 alternatives. Besides the ones that you were suggested in other
 messages, I find that the most useful is sshfs. I use the "primitive
 ftpd" server, which also provides ftp. For its ssh server, I suggest you
 to try the fuse sshfs module, available in ports, and an ftp client. You
 then can choose which one is more appropriate for your use case. You can
 find primitive ftpd in f-droid.

:D

Just, to use adb, it's not need to be root, only as user!

This might not be the only problem, but you at least need to be root
to mount.

Hi, Venu

First, see into this page, if your android device is recognized:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs

If yes, after, you can attempt to use directly adb tool ;)

=> install adb

Check if your device is really recognized:

=> adb devices

If adb result as:

$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF  device

is good!

To copy from computer to android, use:

=> adb push -p /dir_into_computer/file /dir_into_android

To copy from android to computer, use:

=> adb pull -a -p /dir_into_android/file /dir_into_computer

Assume directories exists! ;)



Enjoy-IT!
Enjoy-ID!
