In developer tools, add remote connection add password and write down password. Use Cyberduck connect phone via USB in developer mode. Go to network USB connection, here Xperia and copy IP address into SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) Server IP field, Username Nemo. Also enter USB in USB IP address in Developer Tools on Jolla Phone. Connect. It may ask you to authenticate again, so type in password for remote connection again. If it doesn't work unplug USB plug in again.

I found the explanations given here prior to complicated.

Dukto is an easy to install and easy to use multi-platform file transfer tool for all devices in your (W)LAN.
It is Free Software (licensed under GPLv2) and its source code is hosted at SourceForge.
Dukto currently supports these platforms:
- Windows (XP or later, downloadable from Dukto webpage)
- OS X (10.6 or later, downloadable from Dukto webpage)
- Linux (packaged for Ubuntu and Fedora)
- Android (2.3 and later, available in Play Store, Aptoide etc.)
- iPhone and other iOS devices
- Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 UWP (available in Windows Store)
- BlackberryOS 10 (available in Blackberry AppWorld)
- Symbian (for Nokia touch phones, was available in Nokia Store)
- OpenPandora
- Maemo
So if one does not insist to use an USB cable (though Dukto should work via USB networking, too), the Android version of Dukto is working well under SailfishOS with AlienDalvik. Unfortunately a SailfishOS native version has not been created yet.

Would be nice get it working with iPhoto and iMovie without need to use Image Capture app on OS X. Getting access to other files would be nice too and preferably so that mounting a file system would be the solution. That would solve the iPhoto issue too.
Penguin ( 2013-12-24 22:30:26 +0200 )editThanks for all fine answers! Actually a ready-made solution is needed for accessing Jolla's files from Mac and other computers without developer mode. [Says somebody who has developed enough and only wants to use his device]
jpek-m ( 2014-02-03 21:42:32 +0200 )editI have to say I'm rather shocked this does not work. I knew I was going to lack the bliss of iCloud syncing everything, but not even showing up as a USB drive (like the N9)? Basically it seems there is no user-friendly way of hooking up the Jolla with a Mac. Really unfortunate considering how popular Macs are these days.

avdwoude ( 2014-02-20 02:09:38 +0200 )editApparently the Jolla USB vendor/product IDs changed in the 1.0.4.20 update. When selecting "PC Connection" mode, the device comes up as 2931:0a05 now, but it used to be 2931:0a01. Only the latter was added to the development version of libmtp, so this might need yet another entry now.
