Mount MTP device in FreeBSD

Mount MTP device in FreeBSD

pI have an Android tablet which uses MTP instead of USB Mass Storage for
transferring files. I'd like to mount it in a FreeBSD machine. /p pI tried
the method described a

ol lipI installed mtpfs by going to
code/usr/ports/sysutils/mtpfs/code and running codemake install clean/code
as I usually do to install ports./p/li lipI enabled FUSE support by adding
codefusefs_enable=YES/code in code/etc/rc.conf/code./p/li lipI also added
codefuse_load=YES/code to code/boot/loader.conf/code. (This is not in the
original procedure, I was trying to get it to work)/p/li lipAdded
codevfs.usermount=1/code to code/etc/sysctl.conf/code./p/li lipAfter that,
I rebooted the machine./p/li /ol pI tried to mount the tablet by running
codemtpfs /mnt//code. As a non privileged user I receive a 'Permission
denied' message. As root it apparently works. But cd'ing into the directoy
I receive a 'Not a directory' message, which is the same problem described
in the linked thread. I'm assuming there is something left out of the
original instructions./p pIf there's any alternative to mtpfs, I'm also
interested in hearing about that. /p
