I just purchased a new smartphone (samsung galaxy S III), which runs
android ice cream sandwitch 4.0.4).  I would like to copy files
to and from the phone.  The phone manual describes how to do this for
windows (nothing needed) and Mac (a program to download), but not for
gnu-linux.  Apparently the phone supports MTP (media transfer protocol)
and PTP (picture transfer protocol)

I did some googling and there are a number of comments but no clear
recommendations.  Has anyone here performed file transfer
gentoo <--> samsung S3.

I run amd64, but I don't think that is very relevant.

Just mounting or ftp would be enough; I really just want to move some
files.

I don't have an SD card on the phone, but would be willing to get one if
that is needed.

thanks,
allan

You have two choices:
a) if you just need to transfer video/pictures, there is a
compatibility mode you can toggle inside android settings to enable
ptp mode that apps like digikam understand.
b) if you really want to mount the android fs in gentoo, and transfer
all types of files, than you'll need to use a tool like mtpfs (eix
mtpfs for more info).

I tried the mtpfs approach first, but found that was not that reliable
and switched to the digikam method which has met all my needs.

I use wammu for my Motorola.  It works pretty good.  You may want to
check into that until someone else chimes in with something else or
something better. 

Oh, make sure you config the phone to be connected to a puter.  I always
forget that with my phone and it makes me scratch my head for a while
then smack my forehead when I remember to change/check the config in the
phone. 

Hope that helps.

You should be able to mount it without any problems. I have ICS on my Nexus
S and the only requirement to mounting the phone as a USB device is to
toggle the USB Mass Storage option (it should show up in the notification
bar). On my phone, the usb storage  uses ext4 (IIRC), so drivers for this
aren't an problem. Once the setting is toggled, it's automatically assigned
a device mapping and it's usable as a normal USB drive from there.

I just treated it like another linux system ... connect to wireless (I
presume you have that), install AndFTP and/or "rsync backup for android"
from the "playstore".  Both work using ssh to a linux system, but are
slightly different.

There should be (have not tried it) apps for bluetooth and usb
networking as well.

Found it great for a large file sneakernet between home/work!

That does not work on the S3 because i believe it is basically one
partition unlike the Nexus S which has a separate partition for internal
storage.

 I have used mtpfs in Android 3.0 on my gentoo system and found it slow and
unreliable. A lot might of changed in the last 6 months with mtpfs though
so try it and see how it works.

You could use a program for android called "adb" but its slow at pushing
files so if they are gonna be videos i would stay away.

And the way i do it on my Galaxy nexus is use dropbox. Move to dropbox
folder than download form the dropbox app on the phone. Not the best but
its easiest for me.

If your phone and your computer can connect to the same wifi router (not
necessarily both wifi; the SGS3 use wifi, you're computer can use a UTP
cable), I suggest installing AirDroid on your SGS3.

Then you can access your SGS3 using your browser :-)

... unless your Gentoo is pure text-based. In which situation, AndFTP is a
good choice.

Or... you can turn the relation around: Install ES File Explorer on the
SGS3, and you can use FTP or Samba to transfer files.

Rgds,

That is like my previous phone an htc incredible.  This one doesn't
offer that choice (or at least I can't find it).

I just get to choose mtp or ptp.

thanks,
allan

Allan,

Aside from installing an FTP-server, you can also install "AirDroid", it
lets you control the phone via a webbrowser over a WIFI-connection.

It lets you backup nearly everything from your phone, including the
applications you installed. When downloading multiple files at once, it
zips them first.

I also like the option to transfer the clipboard to/from the phone and
type text messages (SMS) in a webbrowser to be sent out by the phone.

There is a package you can install to enable USB mass storage, but it's
not in the market. Bear in mind though that this can cause problems,
because the S3 doesn't expect the memory to suddenly become unavailable,
the whole reason for using MTP is that you don't have to unmount the
storage and stop any applications that are using it to transfer a few
files.

However, I've also found all the mtp options in portage to be unreliable,
so I run QuickSSHd on the phone and transfer files with scp or mount the
phone with sshfs.

First let me thank everyone for all the great suggestions.  I will be
trying them out.

I started with quicksshd since (I like to believe) I understand ssh.

I have moved a picture and some songs from my laptop to the appropriate
directories on the phone.  Currently after I do the sftp using the gnome
file manager (I will try straight scp soon), the picture and songs
didn't appear until I reboot the phone.  Is there a better way?

thanks again to all.
allan

You need to force a rescan of the media. I'm sure I've seen an option for
this somewhere, but can't find it right now.

I have found go-mtpfs to work much better with my Galaxy Nexus.

https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs/

There is no ebuild for it, mostly because I haven't figured out how to
package go programs.

There is also Kies, a Samsung program in the market that does the same

can't remember why I didn't like it.

Same here, Kies Air doesn't allow multiple files to be selected downloaded
