Move some photos you took with the camera from the gallery to your laptop (using MTP)

This is going to be tricky as we need to make the other end (the 'laptop') transfer the files.

We might just be able to use ssh

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ssh brendand@192.168.1.67 "find \$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -name 'Nexus 4'"
brendand@192.168.1.67's password:
/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C008%5D/Nexus 4

ssh brendand@192.168.1.67 "cp '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C008%5D/Nexus 4/Pictures/*' '/home/brendand/Pictures/"

Looks like it's not possible just to copy files from here, but we need to go through an API or something.

for file in `ssh brendand@192.168.1.69 "ls '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A003%2C088%5D/Nexus 4/Pictures'"`; do ssh brendand@192.168.1.69 'cp /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5usb%3A003%2C088%5D/Nexus 4/Pictures/$file' '/home/brendand/Pictures/'"; done

Actually this is the correct command to do the copy:

ssh brendand@192.168.1.69 "cp '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A003%2C098%5D/Nexus 4/Pictures/image20140701_0001.jpg' '/home/brendand/Pictures/'"

List and copy:

for file in `ssh brendand@192.168.1.69 "ls '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A003%2C098%5D/Nexus 4/Pictures'"`; do ssh -tt brendand@192.168.1.69 "cp '/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A003%2C098%5D/Nexus 4/Pictures/$file' '/home/brendand/Pictures/'"; done

Full command now:

MTP_DIR=$(ssh brendand@192.168.1.69 "find \$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -name 'Nexus 4'")
for file in `ssh brendand@192.168.1.69 "ls '$MTP_DIR/Pictures'"`; do ssh brendan
d@192.168.1.69 "cp '$MTP_DIR/Pictures/$file' '/home/brendand/Pictures/'"; done

Hi Brendan. I think you've done an awesome job... But: this being a UX test, I think this case should be tested at the UI level, and not at the (file)system one. To me the test would be:

1. Connect the phone to the desktop.
2. Check that the Phone icon appears in (desktop) Launcher.
3. Open the Phone icon.
4. Check that the File managers opens the Phone.
5. Go to the Pictures folder.
6. Copy the photos.
7. Check that the photos has been copied.

@victor: in that case we are not testing the desktop and the details about the phone icon and file manager are not important for the moment. The device being recognized as an mtp device by gvfs, and the file not being corrupted during the transfer are good enough for our scope of testing.

The PC side of the world can be added as future variant of this test case.
