Android File Transfer - Can't transfer files from my computer

I can transfer files from my phone to my computer, but I can't do the opposite. And when I run aft-mtp-mount ~/my-device, it says "your device does not have android EditObject extension, mounting read-only"

My phone is an Galaxy S8.

Hey Edu66edu,

Have you tried looking into alternative solutions for this problem?
Also what version of android and software(if applicable) are you using?

My best experience is with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/simple-mtpfs/ - every other MTP implementation I tried rather sucked.

Another vote for simple-mtpfs

#! /usr/bin/env bash

#Script for simple-mtpfs

PS3=$'\nSelect an option.: '

#mount directory
dir="$HOME/phone"
					
while :; do
    clear
    options="Quit List_Device Mount Umount"
    select opt in $options; do
        case $opt in
            Quit) clear; exit
            ;;

            List_Device) simple-mtpfs --list-devices
            ;;
            
            Mount) simple-mtpfs "$dir"; echo "Mounted to "$dir"" 
            ;;

            Umount) fusermount -u "$dir"; echo "Unmounted" 
            ;;
        esac
    done
done

Open a file manager or use core utils and do what you wish.

I've used simple-mtpfs with android 4, 6 and 7
