Even though some devices might present direct access devices, those usually do not work as intended. You'll need an MTP client (comparable to PTP used for cameras). There's a FUSE plugin to make it easier to mount those devices. Additionally check the archives for this topic, it has been discussed recently (I think this year). However, if you have _removable_ media in the device, such as an micro SD card, just use the card for data transfer. I'm doing the same (with a =B5SD->SD adapter and a host-integrated SD card reader). Maybe this is worth a try. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
