[SOLVED] MTP problem

Hi There,

I have Lumia 520 and i understands MTP.  ID can list files using "mtp-filetree" command but that is very brute and ugly method. I want to copy/remove files. I am trying to mount it  but it is not working. I tried PCManFM  to but that never vorks. Any idea what can I do to access the device ?

[root@arch64 sda5]# mtpfs -o allow_other /mnt/sdd1
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=0421 and PID=0661) is a Nokia Nokia Lumia WP8.

Re: [SOLVED] MTP problem

Try go-mtpfs from the AUR. It seems to work better for most people.

Re: [SOLVED] MTP problem

Make sure you have gvfs-mtp and gvfs installed. That's what I was missing for a while.

Re: [SOLVED] MTP problem

@KopkinsBoth gvfs and gvfs-mtp are already installed but somehow  Thunar (xfce filemanager) and PCManFM can only recognize the phone can neither browse nor show the phone content. They just freeze when I click on phone. 

@firecat:  your advice worked. I am using simple-mtpfs now and it works great.
