I'm pretty sure I've used this before:
http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm)

(I certainly use it to grab files from my Linux ext2 hard disks when using WinXP)

You can also use the Zaurus File Transfer software that comes with your Z.  Put the Z in the hot synch cradle, and run that software.

I created a "Network Place"  for my OZ Zaurus and use that to transfer files using wireless. You need to set the "security" icon on Open Zaurus to Intellisync and accept "any".   I'm sitting here in NC Appalachia on a mountain with 500 acres of forest around me so I'm not frightened of security issues,  but you can set up a password or something if you need to be concerned.    
For the address use something like [a href=\"ftp://root@192.168.1.104:4242/]ftp://root@192.168.1.104:4242/[/url]  but change the Zaurus IP to whatever shows in YOUR Zaurus' network configuration utility.

Hope this helps.

And what is a good FTP server for zaurus?
 I really want to do some file tranferring through FTP.

There's one in the feed iirc, try running 'ipkg list *ftp*' and see what's there.

I found this:

kernel-module-ip-nat-ftp - 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-r18 - ip-nat-ftp kernel module
lftp - 3.0.11-r1 - lftp is a sophisticated command line based file transfer program. Supported protocols include FTP, HTTP, and FISH.
ncftp - 3.1.8-r0 - A sophisticated console ftp client

netkit-tftp - 0.17-r0 - netkit-tftp includes a commandline tftp client.

opie-ftp - 1.2.0-r0 - Opie-Ftp

I don't want a FTP client. I can just use tftp(busybox) to transfer files.
I was wondering if I can run a FTP server on my Zaurus.

I thought there was a server in the feed.

What about using sftp/scp?

I user pure-ftpd as the FTP server on the zaurus and any decent client (FTP Commander) on Windows to do file transfer between my windows desktop and the Zaurus (have never sync'd).

Thre is one version here. (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1328)
If you want the secure version, then go as Lardman pointed out - sftp/scp.

This is what I got:

Quote

root@collie:/# ipkg list '*sftp*'
openssh-sftp - 4.0p1-r1 - Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp/telnet replacement (OpenSSH) Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for ex
vsftpd - 2.0.1-r1 - Secure ftp daemon

openssh-scp - 4.0p1-r1 - Secure rlogin/rsh/rcp/telnet replacement (OpenSSH) Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for ex

So pure-ftpd is not secure?

I got lazy and did this instead:

disadvantages: supposedly you can't symlink on it.
advantages: xp and linux both can read it without any problem.

I don't know about good, but there is probably one running on port 4242 on your Zaurus (assuming you're running Opie). Depending on the settings in the Security applet it may have no password, or 'rootme' as the password.

I mentioned scp as it comes pre-installed and sftp is just a single install away (openssh-sftp iirc) as the rest of ssh is already installed in the form of dropbear (mixing the two does work, I've tried it).

Ok, I can use raw connections on my Putty to access port 4242 on my zaurus. However it won't let me login.
 Also, when I scan my zaurus for open ports, I don't get port 4242 as open. Is that right?

It should appear to be open with something like nmap.

Login wrong, or connection refused as the port is closed?

username: root
password: rootme

Check the security applet - it gives you a couple of options (iirc) about what you're trying to sync with. This port is used to sync with Intellisync (in the original Sharp ROM and the functionality has been carried over).

Finally I got to connect to the FTP server, however it seems that no commands are enabled.
 No "ls", nothing. Not even help to see the commands that I can use.
 Any tips on that? And how can I put files into my zaurus and copy from it?

 Thanks.

Thanks lardman, however the commands I know, but I can't execute none of them.
 Perhaps I have to configure something, don't I?
 Here is some output:

Hmm.....

I don't know about that, have you tried relative commands (relative to /home/root I assume)?

E.g. 'cd ../../etc/
