Hi.
 
I recently had cause to try getting some photos off my phone on to my Pi5.
I was able to see the root folder on the phone when allowing PTP transport
on the phone, but was unable to navigate to any of the sub-folders.
 
Presumably this is a permissions issue, but as the subject is somewhat
arcane to me, can anyone advise how I can get in to the DCIM folder on the
phone?
 
This was the same whether the phone was plugged in via USB cable, or
connected by Bluetooth.
 
Any advice gratefully received.

I normally use https://localsend.org/ as a simple way to move files to and
from mobile devices.  It's an app you install at both ends (there's a
Linux-arm64 release that should work on Pis), then you just select the files
you want via the GUI at the sending end, approve the transfer at the
receiving end, and they are transferred.  It doesn't need any special
networking setup, it figures that out itself.

As it uses the phone's existing wifi connection it's typically faster than
using Bluetooth or USB 2 on the phone.
