Reading portable device in Cygwin

Reading portable device in Cygwin

[Angelo Graziosi]

When I connect the smart phone, from Start / Computer (Win7 64, 
Cygwin64) I can see an icon/folder (containing other subfolders) with 
the name of the phone (e.g AN-A1234B), but in /cygdrive I find only "c" 
(with the digital camera I find also d, e, f...).

Is there a way to read from the Cygwin command line the phone? or if you 
prefer, where has the phone its mount point? Perhaps under /dev? but where?


TIA,
   Angelo.

also CMD.exe can not access it

only with a driver that map it as a disk.

If you are curious you can compare the
/proc/sys/Device directory, before and after

eg:

IPOD:
   $ file /proc/sys/Device/IPOD0
   /proc/sys/Device/IPOD0: character special

while for Hard-disk:
$ file /proc/sys/Device/HarddiskVolume1
/proc/sys/Device/HarddiskVolume1: block special
