Ok I was copying a bunch of games from one of my Windows drives over to my phone while booted into Linux. And I got this error that says “libmtp error: Could not open source file”. Thankfully I was able to copy the files when I was booted into Windows but it would be nice if I could Transfer files from my Windows drives without having to reboot into Windows. Is there a way I can fix this problem.

I think it might have to do with the ntfs file system because I copied one of the files from the phone back to my Desktop which is ext4 and then back to the phone without any issues. I already tried installing ntfs-3g which was already installed on my distro.

    I think the icons on NTFS mean your user does not have permitted read the bin file. I think the cue files need to have the path updated, but I’m not super familiar
