That link works, thanks. After installing and rebooting, my Panasonic FZ200 camera still not detected by pupmtp but "seen" in pmount as before.

I am using BionicPup64...

@gychang it means your camera only supports USB mass storage not MTP. If you have a later android just plug it to your pc. Tap USB OPTIONS and select File Transfer or MTP

[watchdog]

Bionicpup64 already has MTP handling. MTP is designed to handle android devices. For a Camera I would suggest Pupcamera-2.0 which uses PTP protocol:

I can't help more.

thanks for helping anyway.

I wonder if someone compiled a 64-bit version of simple-mtpfs and libmtp?

I would always recommend that people compile from source in the Puppy version they are using, but here are a couple of packages which I compiled in Slacko 6.3.0 (Slackware 14.1) which may work in other 64bit Puppies but people should test and explore options such as installing via PPM.
Tahr64 Xenial64 and Bionic64 do already have libmtp and a MTP program but if users want to try this one I have added some builds of simple-mtpfs

[mistfire]

@OscarTalks thanks for uploading 64-bit version. I put the link for 64-bit version of libmtp and simple-mtpfs on the first post of this thread

In bionicpup64 the built-in MTP connection failed to download the Camera dir of a Mediacom Android 8.1 tablet. Unstable connection. The connection was accomplished flawlessly with pupmtp-1.0-x86_64.pet which I have posted. I used libmtp from repo.

[mistfire]

simple-mtpfs is now available at puppy repo under common32 and common64 folder

Same distro as greengeek (slacko 5.6). Results are mixed.
Works for my 3 year old no-name Android smartphone
Does not work for my relatively new Asus ZenPhone Max Pro

Script detects an "AsusMemoPad_7_(ME572CL)"
The "MOUNT" button does nothing and loops back to the dialog.

Running in console displays error message: "Could not retrieve device storage.
For android phones make sure the screen is unlocked".

Screen is unlocked. Anything else I can do?

[Burn_IT]

I think that one of the problems is that MTP is not a rigidly defined protocol and implementations both of the hardware and the software vary.
I have devices that work on with one machine but not another and some that work with the other, but not the one ( if you get my gist)

In the past I have experimented with adbfs-rootless:

https://github.com/spion/adbfs-rootless

It can be an alternative. It requires android-tools by PPM.

The fact that Debian uses jmtpfs instead of simple-mtpfs may be an indicator of something.

I use sshelper installed on the phone, and provided you have OpenSSH installed in your Puppy nothing else is required, you just sshfs mount the phone. No usb cable required either, just have to be on the same LAN segment.

If the phone shows its IP as being 192.168.1.14 then in Puppy

mkdir /mnt/android
sshfs 192.168.1.14:/storage/emulated/0 /mnt/android -p 2222

default password for the phone is 'admin' but best to change that.

No phone 'rooting' required, just works. Once connected open rox or whatever to /mnt/android and drag/drop files around as usual.

sshelper even includes a paste buffer web service, i.e. open your Puppy web browser to 192.168.1.14:8081 (again assuming the phones IP is .14) and whatever you paste and submit there, will be loaded into the phones paste buffer (long press, select the paste option).

Downside is that its connected via wifi, so slower at doing larger filesize transfers than if connected via usb cable. For mtp I like simple-mtpfs (installed into Puppy). Which once installed and the phone is connected via usb cable, running simple-mtpfs --device 1 /mnt/android ... in Puppy connects via that usb cable. I tend to use that when charging the phone via usb connected to the laptop and/or when doing larger amounts of file transfers. IIRC you have to have the 'correct' type of usb cable to both charge and do data transfers at the same time (cheap store usb cables may not work as desired).

Both are handy when I'm running Bulldog (cli version of Fatdog), for instance if I come across a url link and I haven't got X running, then I just paste the link to by phone and view it there. Screen is great for that (cli based selecting, cutting, pasting text using the arrow keys and space to start, space to end selection key combinations). As is doing searches using the phones Google voice search capabilities.

Thanks to everybody for feedback.
It turned out that my problem was caused by the default ASUS settings: "Use USB for" was set to "Charge" instead of "File Transfer".

For mtp I like simple-mtpfs (installed into Puppy). Which once installed and the phone is connected via usb cable, running simple-mtpfs --device 1 /mnt/android ... in Puppy connects via that usb cable

This works nicely. Thanks! Requires only simple-mtpfs and libmtp.so.9.

Hi Mochi, are you able to suggest a suitable source for those two utilities please? (Slacko 5.6 compatible)
cheers!

This tool will mount mtp devices. The mounted mtp devices will also show in Thunar and PCManFM (if pup-volume-monitor is supported). It uses simple-mtpfs to mount MTP. It supports multiple mtp devices

A fair while back, I started and then stopped working on a version of "pmount" that did the following.

1) When a camera or other MTP thing is plugged in a camera icon pops up like it does for a USB memory stick.

2) When the icon is clicked on it mounts and opens the mount point just like a memory stick.

My camera's battery died so I stopped working on it.

There were a few other improvements to pmount I was also doing.
1) When unmounting all, a failure of umount is handled like this:
-- Remember if any un-mounts worked
-- Remember that there was trouble.
-- Carry on down the list in event of a problem
-- if any worked and any failed repeat the process
-- if any still failed, repeat with the error pop-up enabled for 1st failure

2) Using the screen size and the numbers of items in the lists decide about adding extra tabs to the workbook or in some cases not doing the workbook at all.

mistfire (and everyone else who helped) - kudos! Worked perfectly the first time on my inexpensive Samsung J3 Luna Pro. Too long I've had to rely on SD card USB adapters. This is great. Merci!!!
