How to access my HTc Touch disk in Ubuntu

Byte_76 · Feb 8, 2008

Hi all,

I am looking for some help in configuring my Ubuntu Linux 7.10 system to access my HTC Touch.

When in WinXP I have a "Mobile Device" icon in "My Computer" from which I can access the storage area of my Touch. I want to find out how to do the same thing in Ubuntu so that I can copy new files onto and off of my Touch.

I am not interested in syncing anything with my device such as email, contacts, tasks etc. I just want to copy files to and from my pda!

Once I can do that, I will finally move over to Linux completely.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I've been searching for a solution for about a week now and found very litle helpful info.

Thanx!

Well, you can try WM5torage:

It turns your PDA into a mass storage device, so it'll be seen on ubuntu (or macOS, or Windows, or any other OS supporting USB storage) as a pendrive when connected. The downside is that way you can gain access only to the storage card, not the phone's main memory.

Take a look at this and maybe after that you can enjoy your freedom, I also considering going back to kubuntu.

I got a love/ hate relationship with both the os

SynCE

Synce + gnome-syncefs + FUR for XMMS access. Screw iTunes, xmms ftw!

Synce

Perfect instructions, though haven't figured out the msync tool. Well documented too.
