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.

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.
