# go-mtpfs(1)

FUSE filesystem for mounting Android device as MTP device

## NAME

go-mtpfs - FUSE filesystem for mounting Android device as MTP device

## SYNOPSIS

**go-mtpfs** \[*options*\] *directory*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **go-mtpfs** command.

**go-mtpfs** is a program that mounts an Android device as an MTP device.  The only argument the program takes is the directory name.

Example usage:

```
mkdir xoom
go-mtpfs xoom &
cp -a ~/Music/Some-Album xoom/Music/
fusermount -u xoom
```

After a file is closed (e.g., if **cp** completes in the above example), it is safe to unplug the device; the filesystem then will continue to function, but generates I/O errors when it reads from or writes to the device.

## OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. **-h, --help** Show summary of options.

- **-allow-other**

  Allow other users to access mounted fuse. Default: false.

- **-android**

  Use Android extensions if available. Default: true.

- **-debug** *string*

  Comma-separated list of debugging options: usb, data, mtp, fuse

- **-dev** *string*

  Regular expression to filter device IDs, which are composed of manufacturer/product/serial.

- **-storage** *string*

  Regular expression to filter storage areas.

- **-usb-timeout** *int*

  Timeout in milliseconds. Default: 5000

- **-vfat**

  Assume removable RAM media uses VFAT, and rewrite names. Default: true.

## NOTES

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
