Exchange files with computer and android tablet

  • 772

I try to transfer some files to my samsung tablet. First I connected my computer and the tablet via USB.

Then this menu appeared.

enter image description here

Now I tried to copy a html project to the tablet. First I created the directory "stelen" on the tablet.

Then I opened a terminal inside the root folder of the tablet and executed the following command to copy the project to the tablet:

sudo cp -R /opt/lampp/htdocs/stelen_gallery_v2/ stelen

enter image description here

But I get could not access stelen, no permission. The tablet is unlocked.

What am I doing wrong?

permissions

  1. I was able to solve it.

    1. Install mtpfs sudo apt-get install mtpfs
    2. Install jmtpfs sudo apt-get install jmtpfs
    3. Connect the device with your computer via USB and unlock the device.
    4. If the device was detected and appears in the sidebar then right click on it and select unmount.
    5. Create mount point in home directory: mkdir ~/android
    6. Mount the device into the new mountpoint: jmtpfs ~/android

    Something like this should appear:

    root@pc:/# jmtpfs ~/android
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).

    Now you have access to the device!

    1. After you finished all file transfers, unmount the device. fusermount -u ~/android
