MTP (Miserable Transfer Protocol) failed once again.  After moving a directory to a different path, it is still on the same path as before according to MTP.  I already tried re-plugging the USB port and reading it from a different computer. Same result.  Why is MTP so bogus that it shows a moved folder on its previous path?

I am using HuaWeiNova device, and I tried to access it with aft-mtp-cli. $ aft-mtp-cli $ ls DCIM/  I got folders listed here: |-photos |-Camera ....  When I tried to list or download my photos in the Camera/ folder, I got nothing. Only the empty folders are listed and the folders that contains files are not shown at all. I am quite sure my photos are stored in the Camera folder in my cell phone. How come I could not access my photos with my computer ?

I have a Transcend Storejet external USB hard disk. This is not an SSD, but a mechanical disk with rotating plates. I have formatted the whole disk, without partitioning, as NTFS. I have used mkntfs tool under Linux.  When plugged into a Linux machine, the system sees a drive with two partitions (/dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2). However, as I know it is a partitionless disk, I can mount the whole device (mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc /mnt) and it works without any problems.  When plugged into a MS Windows XP machine, the systems sees a disk with two unformatted partitions, and it does not assign a drive letter to either the whole disk, nor to any of the partitions.  Would anyone know how to get MS Windows to mount my disk as a NTFS superfloppy?  I have already tried removing old USB mounting points and residual devices using 'DriveCleanup'. It did not help.  By the way, I also have an external Kingston USB SSD, also formatted as NTFS superfloppy, without partitioning. However, this one is recognized and mounted normally by MS Windows.

I'm moving all files to a new computer, via an external hard drive. I am certain that broken links will be a concern. What can I do to fix this? Is there a 'Best Practices' kind of way to prevent this problem beforehand? I have many hundreds of .blend files, and of course, I fear losing them.

Anytime I want to move thousands of files to a new folder, I always encounter the same problem.  &gt; mkdir my_folder &gt; mv * my_folder mv: cannot move 'my_folder to a subdirectory of itself 'my_folder'   While I think that the error above is harmless (is it?) I am wondering if there is a way of avoiding it.  In case it matters, I am interested in a solution in zsh or one that works well across various shells.

I have this file (see attached);   And I cannot delete it. it doesn't exist...  I have tried typing rm in the prompt then dragging the file on to it, I have gone to the actual location of the file and it's not there, I have deleted .Trash folders left right and center and I still can't find it... I have just run First Aid on ALL the volumes I have and the file still mocks me. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I accidentally forgot to specify destination before hitting the Return key. Where does mv ./* without specifying destination move the files and directories under current directory to?

So my friend has a USB flash drive that isn't working. I don't know a whole lot about "recovery" software so I figured I'd ask you guys.  What steps can I try (I have access to a Linux machine as well) to see....if I can get ANYTHING off the flash drive?  I've google'd around, but most of the stuff seems for windows.

Problem statement: I have an external USB drive that won't mount.   Context:   I neither have nor desire access to MS Windows.  See 1.  External USB drive is NTFS formated. There is no RAID. I've been a Linux user for many years and am not afraid of the CLI.  I would rather not wipe it and start from scratch but it isn't critical if I can't avoid it.    Error looks like:  Error mounting /dev/sdc1 at /media/dude/External HD: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000" "/dev/sdc1" "/media/dude/External HD"' exited with non-zero exit status 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.  (udisks-error-quark, 0)

I don't know why it's happening only to me. Whenever copying bigger or sometimes smaller &lt; 1GB files from PC to pendrive literally gets stuck at the end.

Is there a clever way to do copy and move operations or a command to duplicate a file, without having to do a cd, then mv after, at the same folder?  For example, I have to run the following:  mv /folder1/folder2/folder3/file.txt /folder1/folder2/folder3/file-2013.txt   Note that the directory to where I'm moving the file is the same, but I have to put the whole path again and sometimes it gets annoying. I'm curious to know if there's another way to do that without having to put the whole path again, because the operation would be done in the same path.

Is there a convenient way to rename a file (or dir) without redundantly repeating the path or directory-changing to it?  For example …  mv -some_flag db/migrations/abc_201911201243.php abc_20191101090000.php   … to rename the file without moving it out of that directory.  I looked into the man pages for mv, rename and rsync but didn't find anything, so I'm wondering if there is by chance a non-obvious trick to do this.

I have recently changed the location of my Documents folder (originally located in C:\Users\TermoZour\Documents) to C:\Users\TermoZour\OneDrive\Documents so I could sync the documents folder between 2 PCs.  Now I want to remove this "link", but I can't. Whenever I try to "Restore Default Location" it indeed sees the default location as expected, but then it asks me if I want to move all the files from the old directory (OneDrive) to the new one (default Documents directory), so I click yes. After this, it tells me that "it can't remove the folder because there is a folder in the same location that can't be redirected. Access denied."  I tried to move all the files from OneDrive into a separate folder and do the process again, but it gave me the same error.  I tried to choose another new location instead of the default one, but it gave me the same error.

I cut and paste an 80GB worth of files and folders. At about 80% I cancelled it. Are some of the files deleted and gone forever? Does the files that were successfully transferred gets deleted? If yes, can I still recover them?

I would like to know how could I move all files from a folder to another folder with a command line.  Let's say I'm in my Downloads folder and there are a 100 files that I would like to move to my Videos folder, without having to write all the files name.

I searched here and google and all I could find is how in Ubuntu 13.04 forward mtp devices are supported. The answer I found are for ubuntu 12.04 or ubuntu 12.10  Well, I connected my phone in mtp mode and I don't see it on my machine. How can I see it?   Edit: Requested data   is my phone (Xtreamer q)  I also tried a samsung galaxy s2 device, which popped an error message (unable to mount device). My phone didn't give such mistake.
