1. ABSTRACT
===========
SIMPLE-MTPFS (Simple Media Transfer Protocol FileSystem) is a file system for
Linux (and other operating systems with a FUSE implementation, such as Mac OS X
or FreeBSD) capable of operating on files on MTP devices attached via
USB to local machine. On the local computer where the SIMPLE-MTPFS is
mounted, the implementation makes use of the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace)
kernel module. The practical effect of this is that the end user can seamlessly
interact with MTP device files.
2. LATEST VERSION
=================
Latest version of the software can be found on:
https://github.com/phatina/simple-mtpfs
3. MOUNTING
===========
To mount MTP-based device to your local filesystem, simply run:
simple-mtpfs <mountpoint>
To unmount MTP device, use following:
fusermount -u <mountpoint>
4. INSTALLING
=============
Simple-mtpfs depends on fuse (version >2.8) and libmtp. It also requires the C++
compiler to support c++11 standard.
To install the driver, follow these steps:
mkdir build && cd build
../configure
make
make install (as root)
The project can be set to use custom directory for temporary files. To configure
the simple-mtpfs to use desired temporary directory, add --with-tmpdir=TMPDIR
option to configure script. Default value for temporary directory is "/tmp".
If you got the sources from git repository, first you have to run:
./autogen.sh
