I would like to access my USB device from the command prompt. nautilus can see it but cant write to it as it needs superuser access. Where would "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 090c:037b" be automounted?

I mount all my devices to mnt/devicename but the USB are automounted but I cant see where.

Hi,

open Nautilus (your home) and it should be on the left window pane, as you can see from my pic, it is automounted as "Media/Wolfman/My Passport", that is my external USB drive:

Umm, that makes sense

but my android tablet says mtp://[usb:001,002]

Please see this screenshot:

It has a different name for your device but the principal is the same!.

It also shows it is mounted?.

It is mounted but I would like to access it from the command prompt. Where would I find it from the command prompt when it is mounted as: mtp://[usb:001,002/]?

Always knew you guys would help me get the answer

Thank you.

mtp is slightly different from what you showed me but it gave me a better understanding. Because my USB device was Android 4.2, then I had to use this code:

Code:: gvfs-ls mtp://[usb:001,002]/

I found that here:

Thank you, once again for all your help

I am marking this as solved and should I change the title to: Where does Zorin mount Android USB devices?
