Trying to move files an external Toshiba drive. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GS4) and S3 (GS3).
ANDROID FILE TRANSFER PC 2017 INSTALL
Sudo apt-get install -y samba samba-common-bin smbclient cifs-utils WIN PC have default samba server and client If you want to operate from RPI the other devices would need a SFTP server. Win PC and android PHONE would need a SFTP program to connect to RPI,īut that means operation from PC or PHONE by file zilla / total commander RPI has default installed SFTP server / SSH must be enabled My mentioned Bluetooth connect idea option also not tested. Here example like from PHONE camera to RPI:/home/pi/Pictures ( but it could also be /media/pi/YOURUSBDRIVE ) I can open a 2 panel window for file copy PHONE total commander has installed SFTP plugin ( RPI login required ) If most of the files you need are stored on a uSDHC card in the 'phone (rather than its built-in storage) it's possibly quicker/easier to temporarily move it to a USB card reader and plug that into the Pi (and file transfer will probably be quicker). Then just copy files over but, perhaps, not too many at a time as "timeouts" (slow transfer at the Android end?) can lead to hiccups/dropouts. I usually use the (multi-)media variant which should make it appear on the Pi (or any other computer) as one (or more) disk drives (in a similar fashion to a USB flash drive). IIRC, you're using the "wrong" type of (device) connection via USB on your Samsung 'phone.

If I get lucky and it moves 100% of my file, I get ".: libmtp error: Could not get file from device." and mtp:/// changes again. If it does this while i'm moving a file it stops moving the file. After a while it says "Unable to open MTP device ''" and cycles to something else like mtp:///. When I attach my GS4 to my RaspberryPi 3b, it shows up as: mtp:/// or something similar.
