I have connected jolla via usb to my pc (ubuntu linux, kde). On Jolla I choose "PC-connection". Then on kde desktop a new usb device "sailfish" is available. I choose to open the device with File Manager. But - unlike with other usb storeage media - the jolla is not mounted in folder "/media". How can I access the jolla as a usb storage device on linux?

You can use MTP-tools such as gmtp or the mtp command line tools. See also https://together.jolla.com/question/1480/unable-to-access-internal-storage-or-sdcard-using-usb/

thanks for the hint. I found out that I already have mtp support onboard in kde. most interesting. just entering mtp:/ in the address line of dolphin displays the sailfish device and lets me access the phone memory.

I couldn't get KIO-MTP to work, so instead I use KIO-SCP. You need to have dev. mode enabled and the go to sftp://nemo@jolla/home/nemo/
