Later versions of Android don't allow this unless the phone is rooted.
You are expected to communicate using a more restricted protocol called
MTP. It's actually very restricted, e.g. you can't overwrite blocks in
the middle of a file. You have to read the file, change it, then write
it back. A package called simple-mtpfs tries to make it look like a
filesystem but it's important to remember that it really isn't.
