To make things simpler, ignore who controls the F/T and repeat the same process twice with a umount in between. # jmtpfs -o allow_other /mnt ; mount may fail due to the phone is not ready to do F/T wait for phone to ask Allow/Deny and press Allow # ls /mnt may see nothing but Input/output error because mounting process was done before phone allows F/T # umount /mnt # jmtpfs -o allow_other /mnt ; this time mount should be successful if phone asks Allow/Deny again due to some kind timing issue, try to do umount and jmtpfs mount one more time.help
