[TriLUG] Trying to copy files from an Android device to a Fedora PC

[Nathan Yinger via TriLUG]

Normally, when I need to move files to/from my phone I plug it in and can
access it sort of like a flash drive. For the last couple weeks, any time I
try to copy a file I get a message that 'the process for the MTP protocol
died unexpectedly'. Copying the files with Windows works.

Anyone know a good way to access an Android device's files from linux?
