jmtpfs: Mount an MTP device to a directory.
$ jmtpfs ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command is used to mount an Android device as a file system on a Linux machine using the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) protocol.

Here's an explanation of the command components:

  • jmtpfs: It's the name of the command used to mount an Android device through MTP.
  • ${path-to-directory}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want to mount the Android device. For example, if you want to mount it at /mnt/android, you would replace ${path-to-directory} with /mnt/android.

When you run this command with the correct path, the Android device will be mounted as a file system, allowing you to access its files and directories through the specified directory path on your Linux machine.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
