sysutils/fusefs-jmtpfs, over USB cable, the Androids file system mounted on FreeBSD.how to transfer files from android to FreeBSD, tutorial is needed
jmpfs
, on android device allow access, mount file system: jmpfs /mnt -o allow_other
, as user browse file system by terminal, file manager, perform file transfer operations.If you are using kde then kde-connect works great.I have searched the forum and read some posts, but still don't know how to transfer files from android to FreeBSD, tutorial is needed, thanks!

Another method, synchronize over Wifi at a local network (or internet by mobile data) with Syncthing one or multiple directories. Needs the Syncthing app on Android and net/syncthing on FreeBSD installed. On FreeBSD side the configuration is made over a browsers web user interface after the service is started.
I use jmtpfs also and it works well.sysutils/fusefs-jmtpfs, over USB cable, the Androids file system mounted on FreeBSD.

The Syncthing app doesn't need to run continuously, only when needed. I'am using both myself.
With Syncthing be careful with the "Folder Type" on Android and FreeBSD. One of them is "Send & Receive" (besides "Send Only", "Receive Only"). With that option set on both (or all) devices, any file deleted on one of the synchronized devices will be deleted on all other. Ensure it's the right file before deleting.I'll have a look at both of these.
Check if the USB cable is properly attached on both devices. On the FreeBSD side try another USB port. Try another USB cable.when I run jmtpfs /mnt -o allow_other in terminal, I get a message "No mtp devices found".
jmtpfs
without arguments.Four ways to do so:I have searched the forum and read some posts, but still don't know how to transfer files from android to FreeBSD, tutorial is needed, thanks!
camcontrol devlist
and you'll see the connected volumes even when not mounted. Mount them as root with mount /dev/<droidname_from_devlist> /media/droid
. You might have to make a new dir for that or use some-dir else; ssh
from the box. Maybe you have to install something on the droid to use ssh on that side. The IP address of the droid is in the settings and wifi connection panel on the device;The last time I tried (last year) adb was broken on FreeBSD, but it looks like it has been fixed since then. I'll try it again the next time I need to interact with an Android device.adb push / pull should work, shouldn't it?
