access phone filesystem in command line

[Nerijus Baliunas]

Thank you, this works:

$ kdeconnect-cli --device a9fd38157b926107 --ping
$ qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect /modules/kdeconnect/devices/a9fd38157b926107/sftp mountAndWait
true
$ qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect /modules/kdeconnect/devices/a9fd38157b926107/sftp getDirectories
/run/user/500/a9fd38157b926107/storage/emulated/0: Visi failai
/run/user/500/a9fd38157b926107/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera: Nuotraukos
$ qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect /modules/kdeconnect/devices/a9fd38157b926107/sftp mountPoint
/run/user/500/a9fd38157b926107
$ ls -l /run/user/500/a9fd38157b926107/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/
total 11520

-rw------- 1 nerijus nerijus 7951752 Sep 22 21:40 VID_20180922_213950.mp4

But unfortunately it works sporadically - sometimes ping does not work
(error: No such object path '/modules/kdeconnect/devices/a9fd38157b926107/ping'),
I had to restart kdeconnect on a PC and phone a few times for it to start working,
I got:
$ mv /run/user/500/a9fd38157b926107/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/* .
mv: error reading '/run/user/500/a9fd38157b926107/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/VID_20180922_213950.mp4': Transport endpoint is not connected
while moving files.

Thanks,
Nerijus
