This is due to the limitations in non-Google mtp stacks. You cannot do
direct file access, which makes it impossible to do low level file
copies like this. The file managers use the gvfs api that allows file
copies. From the command line you can use the gvfs-copy utility.

You could also install cyanogenmod on the phone to get the Google mtp
stack.

Title:
  Can not copy files by cp from Samsung S5 Mini in GVFS in MTP mode

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In terminal:
  jarnos@jarnos-OptiPlex-745:/run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A002%2C013%5D/Card/DCIM/Camera$ ls -l 20141103_114415.jpg ; cp 20141103_114415.jpg ~/Desktop/
  -rw------- 1 jarnos jarnos 1205994 marra  3 11:44 20141103_114415.jpg
  cp: cannot open ‘20141103_114415.jpg’ for reading: Operation not supported

  But I can browse to the folder by Thunar or PCManFM and copy paste a
  file to ~/Desktop/. On the other hand I can not open the files even
  via those file managers.
