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 have termux on my phone, which lets you use ssh to log in to the phone
from your laptop, and also lets you use scp to transfer files back and
forth.

termux' sshd is not run by default, but you can either run it from the
termux window or you could put a call to it in the shell's init file.

I find it much nicer to ssh in and cd around than to hunt using a gui file
manager, but YMMV.
