Title: File transfer with OZ 3.5.1
Post by: steven999 on September 21, 2004, 07:41:43 pm

Hi all,

I've been trying to transfer files with OZ 3.5.1 and 5600 and got stuck.  It seems that sftp-server is not installed on OZ so I can't seem to use sftp with it.  (I didn't see a package in the feed for that, any ideas?).  The following is the result of when I try to sftp into the zaurus:

$ sftp.exe root@192.168.129.201
Connecting to 192.168.129.201...
root@192.168.129.201's password:
sh: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found
Connection closed


Alternatively, I tried ftp over port 4242.  However, I can't seem to figure out the correct username and password to use.  (There's another message in the forum regarding this).  

Any help in all of this would be appreciated!
steven

In the past I have mounted a remote file system and used that for file transfer. I have not gotten that far on 3.5.1 yet. It is a matter of exporting the path and then mounting it on the Z.

mount -o nolock remote:/path /mnt/name format works

To boot strap I use 'hand net'; install a cf card, copy the files, uninstall, ... It is slow, but it works.

You can use "scp" instead of "sftp" or remove dropbear and install big openssh (with sftp).

Hi Hrw,

Thanks for the info.  In the end, I ended up reflashing over to Watapon ROM, primarily due to the field discrepancy in the Todo-list between Opie and Qtopia Desktop (the todo list is the app I use most).  I really liked OpenZaurus, but I think I just spent too much time in the past two days trying to figure out how to get it to do what I was already able to do with Sharp Based ROMS.  

Thanks,
steven
