try on your machine
The command "jmtpfs -o ${allow_other,auto_unmount} ${path-to-directory}" is used to mount an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device in a specified directory. Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "jmtpfs": This is the main command that is used to mount an MTP device.
- "-o": This option is used to specify additional options for the mount operation.
- "${allow_other,auto_unmount}": These are the additional options specified with the "-o" flag.
- "allow_other": This option allows other users to access the mounted MTP device.
- "auto_unmount": This option automatically unmounts the MTP device when it is no longer in use.
- "${path-to-directory}": This is the path to the directory where the MTP device will be mounted. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the desired directory.
When you execute this command, it will mount the MTP device, making it accessible in the specified directory. Other users will also have access to the device, and it will be automatically unmounted when not in use.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
