access phone filesystem in command line

[Simon Redman]

You may find it helpful to use a graphical dbus viewer to see the exact
path names and requested arguments. I use d-feet, but there is also
qdbusviewer (and presumably others)

Neither mountAndWait nor mountPoint take an argument, so qdbus is trying
to tell you that. Try:

$ qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect
/modules/kdeconnect/devices/fea86568937f7291/sftp mountAndWait
