How do i mount mtpfs for nexus7 file xfer

[teraquad]

Wow, Thanks a lot. that was easy. I think my hangup was giving write permission to the "nexus" folder.

Like you said, Simple and to the point.

All i have to do now is get nautilus to play nice with mtpfs and i will have it made.

I am looking for a way for it to mount on plug in, not complain when it isn't there, and then to browse it with nautilus..

Thanks again! It's a big help.

Hi
I have a new nexus phone, and cannot mount it :-(

$ mtpfs /mnt/nexus
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=685c) is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy S i9000/i9250, Android 4.0 updates.
   Found 1 device(s):
   Samsung: Galaxy Nexus/Galaxy S i9000/i9250, Android 4.0 updates (04e8:685c) @ bus 1, dev 8
Attempting to connect device
Android device detected, assigning default bug flags
Listing File Information on Device with name: (NULL)

A listing of /mnt before the mtpfs command shows

 $ ls -al /mnt/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x.  5 root root 4096 Oct  5 06:00 .
drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Jan 25  2012 ..
drwxrwxrwx.  2 root root 4096 Mar 29  2012 focus
drwxrwxrwx.  2 root root 4096 Oct  5 06:00 nexus
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Dec 14  2010 sd

and a listing after running shows

 $ ls -al /mnt/
ls: cannot access /mnt/nexus: Permission denied
total 16
drwxr-xr-x.  5 root root 4096 Oct  5 06:00 .
drwxr-xr-x. 25 root root 4096 Jan 25  2012 ..
drwxrwxrwx.  2 root root 4096 Mar 29  2012 focus
d??????????  ? ?    ?       ?            ? nexus
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root 4096 Dec 14  2010 sd

Not sure what to try next.

Try changing permissions on the nexus directory.
As root:

chmod 0755 /mnt/nexus

I don't know if that will solve your problem or not.

PabloTwo - another name for genius :-)

The permissions on the nexus directory where 777 (see above listing). After changing them to 755, magic happens

# ls -al /mnt/nexus/Internal\ Storage/Pictures/
total 109586
drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root       0 Jan  1  1970 .

Hi there guys! No chance here to list Nexus files. It shows them empty.
What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.
