Hi.

I recently had cause to try getting some photos off my phone on to my Pi5. 
I was able to see the root folder on the phone when allowing PTP transport 
on the phone, but was unable to navigate to any of the sub-folders.

Presumably this is a permissions issue, but as the subject is somewhat 
arcane to me, can anyone advise how I can get in to the DCIM folder on the 
phone?

This was the same whether the phone was plugged in via USB cable, or 
connected by Bluetooth.

Any advice gratefully received.
