jmtpfs: List available MTP devices.
$ jmtpfs --listDevices
try on your machine

The command jmtpfs --listDevices is used to list the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) devices connected to the system.

MTP is a protocol used for transferring media files (such as photos, videos, and music) between devices, commonly used by digital cameras, smartphones, and other portable media devices.

The jmtpfs command-line utility allows mounting MTP devices as a file system in Linux. When you run jmtpfs --listDevices, it displays a list of MTP devices that are connected to the system.

By listing the available MTP devices, you can identify and select the device you want to mount using jmtpfs for transferring files to and from that device using a file manager or command-line tools.
