[arch-general] Mount point of MTP devices?
Hello, I have recently installed Arch on my desktop machine (KDE). I want to access android device (MTP) from terminal. The device is accessible from file manager (Dolphin). This means it has to be mounted somewhere (right?). It's not mounted in '/run/user/1000/gvfs' directory I have following packages installed: gvfs-mtp 1.30.3-1 libmtp 1.1.12-1 mtpfs 1.1-2 Where are mtp devices mounted?

Open it in dolphin, open the terminal, type pwd? -- GPG fingerprint: 871F 1047 7DB3 DDED 5FC4 47B2 26C7 E577 EF96 7808

pwd -> $HOME I doubt MTP uses mount points. But with KDEConnect, there is a mount point available with your approach. Unfortunately, the phone's SD card is not available as from Android 6 (Google's ongoing paranoia treating an SD card as a dangerous alien).

You can also use adb (android-tools [1]) for interfacing with it. There you have `adb push` and `adb pull` to copy to/from your device respectively. You need to activate adb on your device first however. [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/android-tools/ -- https://sleepmap.de

No. Dolphin accesses the device via kio, it doesn't mount it anywhere.

No. MTP is not a file system. There are some pseudo file systems that could mount it, but obviously with limited functionality (after all, it's not a file system). mtpfs ([1]) seems like an obvious choice, but I have never used it, so I don't know if it even works. As others have said, Dolphin accesses it via the kio framework. [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mtpfs/
