Getting direct access to my Android machine

[Mike Keithley]

Hello list,

I have a braille sense Polaris, an Android machine running Lollipop. I also have a Linux box running Slackware 14.2 64-bit.

I'm trying to get direct access to the flash drive on the Android file system. Right now nothing happens when I connect to the USB port except the display of the manufacturer and a serial number.

What do I have to do on the Linux box to get access to an Android file system?

Thank you.
