Hi,
Has anyone figured out how to mount a Samsung note 2 on Centos 6? When I plug it in to the usb port it is detected and the get the following in the log:

From there I cannot figure out how to mount it.
From goggling it would appear that I need adb and some udev rules.
Does anyone know how to get this to mount?
I don't but the bigger problem is that if you try to attach to the built-in storage, that would require MTP, support for which on Linux is meager to non-existent but the Galaxy Note 2 does have an SD slot and any SD cards should be obvious via USB Storage.
I have a friend with a Galaxy Note that somehow got his to mount both his SD card and the built-in storage using adb. The problem is he cannot remember what he did. That fone also uses MTP. I was hoping that I can find the magic incantation to be able to do the same thing with my Note 2.
The easier/best solution would likely be to use an Android program called WiFi Explorer (I paid the guy $2 I think for the pro version) and it's really, really nice and easy. Also, I found SSHDroid to be relatively easy to use (requires using 'scp' or rsync via ssh to copy files to/from.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had not thought of going that way. The more I think about this, the better I like it. I have some automated scripts I use to back up some of my data via rsync. The SSHDroid seems like it would work for that and maybe allow me to run my scripts via a cron job and not have to worry about being connected to a wire. WiFi Explorer looks good also. Hard to go wrong for $.99. :-)
