Description-en: FUSE based filesystem for accessing MTP devices
jmtpfs is a FUSE and libmtp-based filesystem for accessing MTP (Media Transfer
Protocol) devices. It was specifically designed for exchanging files between
Linux (and Mac OS X) systems and newer Android devices that support MTP but
not USB Mass Storage.
.
The goal is to create a well-behaved filesystem, allowing tools like find and
rsync to work as expected. To enable certain Android apps to detect and use
the transferred files, MTP file types are set automatically based on file
contents using libmagic.
