I have a Samsung D500 mobile phone, and a USB cable. I was wondering if
I can connect this to my Linux computer somehow and transfer files to
and from the phone.

I tried connecting the phone up, and I was hoping this would just
appear as a USB mass storage device, allowing me to mount the phone and
transfer files to and from it. But it did not appear in /dev, so I don't
know.

Maybe I can ftp it, or point a browser at it or something. (Or maybe it is
sing some proprietary system and I am screwed.) I don't know.

Has anyone had any success with connecting this type of phone?

Mark.

Yeah. Right. If you could use standard protocols to transfer data
to/from a phone, what do you think this would do to a phone company's
profit margins? There might be something usable if you search
freshmeat.net for "samsung"; that gave me the sambru package as well as
a ringtone app. Try those out. I don't know for sure as my phone's a
very primitive model and I don't even have a cable for it. HTH anyway,
