In other words, the USB mass storage class is designed to give a host computer undifferentiated access to bulk mass storage, such as compact flash, rather than to a file system, which might be safely shared with the target device (except for specific files which the host might be modifying/accessing). Ī main reason for using MTP rather than, for example, the USB mass-storage device class (MSC) is that the latter operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block (usually in practice, a FAT block), rather than at the logical file level. The host connecting to an MTP device is called an MTP Initiator whereas the device itself is an MTP Responder.

Windows 7 and Windows Vista with the Platform Update for Windows Vista also support MTP over Bluetooth. The protocol was originally implemented for use across USB but extended for use across TCP/IP and Bluetooth. A workaround is to copy to the hosting system for these operations and then copy back. It does not support operations such as open, edit and modify. The main purpose of this protocol is to allow only the transfer of media files and associated metadata to and from portable devices, one transfer function, in or out, at a time. Since then MTP is an official extension to PTP and shares the same class code.

The USB Implementers Forum device working group standardised MTP as a full-fledged Universal Serial Bus (USB) device class in May 2008. Microsoft has also made available an MTP Porting Kit for older versions of Windows back to Windows 98. Windows XP requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher later Windows versions have built-in support. Versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows XP SP2 support MTP. MTP is part of the 'Windows Media' framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player. MTP is a key part of WMDRM10-PD, a digital rights management (DRM) service for the Windows Media platform. Whereas PTP was designed for downloading photographs from digital cameras, Media Transfer Protocol allows the transfer of music files on digital audio players and media files on portable media players, as well as personal information on personal digital assistants. The Media Transfer Protocol ( MTP) is an extension to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) communications protocol that allows media files to be transferred atomically to and from portable devices.
