Sorry for the delay. I made a new USB Live Distro. This time with Mint instead of Ubuntu. Just to make sure.

But I get the same errors.

Code:
mint@mint /media/mint/C/-= D =-/S6edge Backup $ stat -c '%Y %n' * | sort -n | while read mtime file; do cp -R "$file" /run/user/999/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C005%5D/Phone/test/; sleep 1; done
cp: cannot create regular file ‘/run/user/999/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C005%5D/Phone/test/apps/2017-09-19_23-53.novabackup': Operation not supported
cp: cannot create regular file ‘/run/user/999/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C005%5D/Phone/test/apps/2017-09-19_23-54 - foldersync.db': Operation not supported

Any ideas? Smilie

Folders were created but no files.

Solved it switching to ptp instead of mtp. But then sleep was ignored and some files failed
