I'm trying to mount an Android device on Debian using:

jmtpfs /media/mobile

But when I try to copy a file from my system to the device I get an input/output error saying that the file can't be closed.

Am I missing some parameter or something to enable the transfer?

  • Can you plese post the error output here, verbatim? Also, are you using root permissions to mount the device? – HalosGhost Jun 28 '14 at 16:43
  • Please post the output of the above command with the `--verbose` switch included, `jmtpfs --verbose /media/mobile`. – slm Jun 28 '14 at 17:14
  • Strange its working now, i tried the debug mode once with "jmtpfs -d /media/mobile" and after that the normal "jmtpfs /media/mobile/" both working, dunno what it was, sry guys – Julio Marins Jun 28 '14 at 19:59
  • Strange, now trying again today i get can send files like .mp3 or .jpg but when i try to create a directory i get this in the debug: unique: 222, opcode: LOOKUP (1), nodeid: 2, insize: 44, pid: 24405 LOOKUP /Cartão SD/ooo getattr /Cartão SD/ooo unique: 222, error: -2 (No such file or directory), outsize: 16 unique: 223, opcode: MKDIR (9), nodeid: 2, insize: 52, pid: 24405 mkdir /Cartão SD/ooo 0755 umask=0022 unique: 223, error: -5 (Input/output error), outsize: 16 – Julio Marins Jun 29 '14 at 16:53
  • it shows this prob only when i try to create a folder in the '/media/mobile/Cartao SD' which is the root of the SD card – Julio Marins Jun 29 '14 at 16:59

If your screen is locked, try unlocking the screen before attempting to connect. This did the trick for me.

If your file manager shows the device, it is already mounted. Try unmounting the device through file manager and running jmtpfs /media/mobile again.
