NAME

       gphotofs - filesystem to mount digital cameras

DESCRIPTION

       GPhotoFS is a filesystem client based on libgphoto2 that exposes supported cameras as
       filesystems; while some cameras implement the USB Mass Storage class and already appear as
       filesystems (making this program redundant), many use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP)
       or some other custom protocol. But as long as the camera is supported by libgphoto2, it
       can be mounted as a filesystem using this program.

       As libgphoto2 is a userspace library for interacting with cameras, it is natural that if
       one to build a filesystem ontop of it, one should use FUSE, and that is what I have done.

SYNOPSIS

       mounting
           gphotofs <mountpoint>

       unmounting
           fusermount -u <mountpoint>

NOTES

       You must have permission to read and write the device.  By default, devices recognized by
       libgphoto2 are created with read/write access for group "plugdev", so users must be added
       to this group to use GPhotoFS.

LIMITATIONS

       GPhotoFS currently can't add or remove directories, rename files or directories, add or
       modify files and get space information.
