Description of problem: > $ gvfs-copy --preserve -p 'mtp://[usb:002,114]/Card/carbon' 'mtp://[usb:002,114]/Phone/' > Error copying file mtp://[usb:002,114]/Card/carbon: Operation unsupported Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gvfs 1.26.3 How reproducible: always Additional info: Copying between MTP and File system, also between filesystem and MTP works fine in GUI (Thunar 1.6.10) and cli. But not between 2 MTP points. This is highly annoying and suboptimal. Also trying to open files from MTP mounts directly fails in many apps like xarchiver 0.5.4
Thanks for your bug report. Copying between two MTP mount points should work. I am just not sure about --preserve option. Does it fail also without --preserve option? Another problem might be if your device doesn't support android extensions. Could you please provide output from "mtp-detect"?
Created attachment 1152863 [details] mtp-detect `preserve` option does not matter. Attaching mtp-detect report. The Phone is android so I guess extensions are there. Are they?
Just tested after all updates: > $ gvfs-copy 'mtp://[usb:002,007]/Card/Download/object-oriented-vs-functional-programming.epub' 'mtp://[usb:002,007]/Phone/Download/' > Error copying file mtp://[usb:002,007]/Card/Download/object-oriented-vs-functional-programming.epub: Operation unsupported

Unfortunately not all Android devices support MTP android extensions and thus is not possible to support some operations, see for more details: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692419 Your device doesn't support those extensions: Vendor extension description: microsoft.com: 1.0; microsoft.com/WMPPD: 11.0; microsoft.com/WMPPD: 10.0; microsoft.com/WMDRMPD:10.1; microsoft.com/playready:1.10;samsung.com/kies:2.1;samsung.com/sidesync3.0
