Connect the supplied usb cable from the phone to a usb port of the comuter. Your phone will ask your if you want to turn on USB Storage. Tap that prompt, and in your Linux (mine has a Ubuntu OS) computer, open a terminal and type df. Your android phone should appear in the list.
$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 113179556 70826336 36603960 66% / udev 1405852 4 1405848 1% /dev tmpfs 565908 952 564956 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 1414760 116 1414644 1% /run/shm /dev/sdb1 15105408 181952 14923456 2% /media/9338-1802Notice the "/media/9338-1802" entry? That is how the Moto fire looks as a file system to the PC. Where are the image files stored? Look in the directory "/media/9338-1802/DCIM/Camera". Now in the terminal you can copy or even move the image files to any directory in the PC. For example,
mkdir ~/my-moto cd ~/my-moto mv -v /media/9338-1802/DCIM/Camera/* .All your image files stored in the Fire XT/DCIM/Camera directory will now be moved to the current director ~/my-moto. The whole procedure is quite fast! You forgot wher your USB cable is? That will be a topic of future articles.
