Pull files off Android phone

This assumes you have Android Debug Bridge (ADB) installed. This will pull all files from a directory in an Android phone.

cd /path/to/destination/directory
adb pull /path/to/source .

As Julian says, "Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy."

(I use this, by the way, since the Nexus 5 and OS X Mavericks refuse to work together in USB mode.)
