Can someone tell me how to do this?


You might have to configure/enable it in your phone settings.
Look for USB or access settings.
Thats all I can see in my magic globe.
Something about your computer and phone might have been useful for
a better answer.
The phone is an Android 5.0.1. The computer runs Linux mint and Knoppix.

It must have been a hardware problem. Yesterday the hard drives stopped
working, memory was showing wrong on how much is in computer, the
processor was showing way off from what it actually is.

After taking the computer completely apart, cleaning and re-installing
all the hardware, data transfer between phone and computer works like a
charm.

Thanks to all for your help.
