Can't access sdcard/DCIM directory on Galaxy S6 Lite tablet

I took two pictures with the camera, and they are in:

SD card/DCIM/Camera

But if I try to use and/or to transfer them off into my computer

it's not working.  It won't even let me list anything in SD card/DCIM

it just returns.  I can navigate to them fine in the tablet.

I tried this, with and without a leading slash:

C:\android-sdk-wind\platform-tools>adb pull sdcard/DCIM/Camera c:/Temp/Screenshots17
adb: error: failed to stat remote object 'sdcard/DCIM/Camera': No such file or d
irectory

Is it "protecting" the DCIM folder or something?

I can do "adb shell ls sdcard" fine but if I try to add DCIM it fails.

What's going on and how can I get to my camera images?

 

UPDATE:

I could download them from my PC through the USB Dialog thing

but I'd like to know how to access the sdcard/DCIM/Camera folder with adb.

It's formatted.  Do I have to mount it?

 

Thanks

I figured it out.  "SD card" is just a symbolic link, and you have to find what  it "translates" to for your system.  In my case it was "storage/004E-A507", so you just use that as your path: "/storage/004E-A507/DCIM/Camera" and the pictures were there.
