<title>MTP storage</title>

      <para>Some modern smartphones, music players and cameras adopted

        &microsoft; protocol Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) as a way to

        share files through the USB connection. Such device can be

        identified by the presence of the USB interface with interface

        id equal to 0x5. MTP, contrary to USB mass storage, shares files

        and directories, not the media itself. MTP isn't as well supported

        as USB mass storage by operating systems.</para>

      <para><application>gphotofs</application> from the port

        <filename role="package">graphics/fusefs-gphotofs</filename> allows

        to mount MTP as a virtual <quote>fuse</quote> filesystem.

        Kernel module <filename>fuse.ko</filename>, which is part of

        <filename role="package">sysutils/fusefs-kmod</filename> port, should

        be loaded which can either be done from the command line:</para>

        <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kldload /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko</userinput></screen>

        <para>or, in order to make it persistent during reboots,

          by adding the appropriate line to the file

          <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename>:</para>

        <programlisting>fuse_load="YES"</programlisting>

        <para>and another line to the file

          <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>:</para>

        <programlisting>fusefs_enable="YES"</programlisting>

        <para>Once fuse kernel module is loaded and MTP device

          is attached, run the command to mount it as a virtual

          file system:

        <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>gphotofs /some/mount/point</userinput></screen>

        <para>This command leaves <application>gphotofs</application>

          running as a daemon to serve file system requests.</para>
