I don't know; there has been discussion of using:

gmtp
go-mtpfs
jmtpfs

I've used jmtpfs (requires) java; I've used one of the others but 
forget which, whichever, it worked alright.


I use sshdroid on the phone to and sshfs on the laptop now.

I believe krusader is relevant in kde environments but no direct 
familiarity.

Thanks. It took some doing but I seem to have sshfs working now. To 
add the phone to /etc/fstab, I'm using


root@192.168.1.11:/ /home/garydale/GarysPhone fuse.sshfs 
_netdev,port=,user,idmap=user,transform_symlinks,identityfile=/home/garydale/.ssh/id_rsa,default_permissions,uid=1000,gid=1000 
0 0


Which is similar to what I found by googling sshfs for /etc/fstab 
settings.


Unfortunately it lets me mount the phone but I have to be root to 
umount it. Any suggestion on fixing that?


does

fusermount -u mount-point

work?

Thanks. It did.

I'm still on wheezy, and sshfs Just Works(TM). It does obey permissions 
though so I sometime have to copy something to my home dir, then go to 
the machine and become root to put it where it needs to go.
