I'm writing a bash script to synchronize pictures in my phone with my PC. What I need is to

  • detect if the phone is connected to a USB port
  • which port is used, and then
  • access it.

I'm not connecting my phone via USB tethering. The code that I already have it's this:

tmp=`gio mount -l -i | grep activation_root`
mount_point=${tmp//activation_root=/}
gio mount $mount_point
cp /run/user/1000/gvfs/*/*/DCIM/Camera/*.jpg ~/Test`

With this I'm getting the device and mounting it, but I've hardcoded the path used in the cp command. I need a way to obtain that path through a command or a way to use the command gio copy for this situation.

    Show us what you have, then show us which part you're currently having trouble with. Don't ask us to write the entire script for you. – Shadur Apr 06 '19 at 10:33
