Where are cameras mounted?
With Ubuntu 12.10 I didn't have any luck with ~/.gvfs
... However, I'm able to access my camera on the command line using
/run/user/<username>/gvfs/gphoto2:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C008%5D/
Assuming your camera connects over PTP, GPhoto will be responsible for the data transfers. I guess the ~/.gvfs directory will contain a virtual folder pointing to your camera.
Mount it using gphotofs
Install gphotofs
package:
sudo apt-get install gphotofs
Then create a directory wherever you prefer (i'm using /home/<user>/camera
)
mkdir /home/<user>/camera
And use the following to mount it
sudo gphotofs /home/<user>/camera
notes
- replace
<user>
with your username
