Can not prove device unless root privilidges are used

How to make android file transfer work with non-root privilidges? Otherwise it can not probe the device?

Can you switch your current dir to /sys/bus/usb/devices/<any-device-you-have> and check permissions of the files there. Likely you don't have read permission for them.

I have the same problem. After checking, all the files in /sys/bus/usb/devices/ have read permissions for users not in the group.
