Filesystem to mount MTP devices directly

MTPFS

MTPFS is a FUSE filesystem based on libmtp that allows a mtp device to be browsed as if it were a normal external harddisk

Requirements

FUSE >= 2.2 GLib >= 2.30 libmtp >= 1.1.2

How to mount a filesystem

To mount a device run:

mtpfs <mount_point>

To unmount do:

fusermount -u <mount_point>

Note that you may need to be root to do all this if permissions on the MTP device are not correct

Debugging

To enable debugging info use the --enable-debug option when running ./configure

Acknowledgements

This wouldn't be possible without libmtp, libusb and fuse. Sections of code (in id3read.c and mp3file.c) blatently ripped from gnomad
