Author Topic: ftp question on sl-5600 (Read 4474 times)

Anonymous · « **on:** April 24, 2004, 04:08:18 am »

I\'ve just gotten a sl-5600 running the sharp rom. My desktop is linux 2.6.5, and I\'ve configured usb networking and I can ping the zaurus.

qtopia-desktop insists that it\'s \"disconnected\" although tcpdump -i usb0 shows tons of traffic. All the install and sync buttons are disabled in qtopia-desktop.

The zaurus won\'t sync with the cradle button - it just hangs and there\'s no traffic on eth0.

What I want to do is just copy the openzaurus files to the cf and reflash, but I\'m hung up on this first step. Any ideas? TIA - wylbur.

Have you installed an ftp server on the Z-SL-5600? There was none on mine by default, so I set one up. See:

and possibly

I\'d love to install an ftp or ssh server, but I can\'t seem to install anything. My problem is that I can\'t ftp to the Z, I can\'t use qtopia to install, I can\'t seem to do anything except ping it. Other ideas? -- wylbur[/i]

This is kind of what I mean. The Z refuses all connections except ping. Was I supposed to set a root pw somewhere, or turn something on in the Z? TIA - wylbur

Code: [Select]

bash-2.05b# mount -t smbfs -o username=root //zaurus/mnt/cf /mnt/zaurus

after hitting the poor Z with nmap, no enlightenment has arrived. The only open ports are 111 and 4244, with the latter being for syncs (I think). But qtopiadesktop refuses to connect with the Z.

Code: [Select]

bash-2.05b# nmap -p 1-2000,4200-4600 zaurus

 

Starting nmap 3.50 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-04-24 12:36 PDT

Interesting ports on zaurus (192.168.129.201):

(The 2399 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)

You not only can\'t install ftp or ssh, hell you can\'t even install a terminal. Can you borrow a card reader or have access to a.....windoze box, just until you get setup?
Here are some how-tos that may help, but a card reader is a nice asset.

nope, no windoze box. Tried to get the Z to talk to my kid\'s mac, but still no joy. The mac did not want to see the Z, even after some time playing with the usb driver.

Not sure what the next steps are. I guess I\'ll go buy a card writer. thanks anyway - P.

Just use Samba which is already on your Zaurus. If you\'ve got Konqueror on your desktop enter the URL \'smb://192.168.129.201\' and look in the \'home\' share. From there you can copy files to your SD/CF card and internal storage. If you do not have konqueror you can mount your Zaurus with smbmount.

Qtopia Desktop for Linux will not work with the 5600. This has been posted many times. Only Sharp\'s version of Qtopia Desktop will work with the Sharp ROMs now (except the older 1.x/2.x 5000D/5500 ROMS) and Sharp have only released their Qtopia Desktop for Windows.

thanks, tumnus. I did try samba but I got repeated connection refused errors (see the code snippet a few posts up, mixed with the successful pinging).

sorry about my faq-error on the qtopiadesktop prob, I\'ll look into that. -- wylbur.

tumnus · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2004, 09:23:23 pm »

Sorry, missed that. Reboot and try samba again. It should just work out of the box through the cradle.

BTW, you need to mount //zaurus/home , not //zaurus/mnt/cf

I got a usb cf card writer and set up initrd.bin and zImage from my laptop (using the zynergy stuff, it\'s a great mix of opie and sharp). I\'m happily ssh\'d into the Z now.

this is OT, but how free (as in free software) is the sharp stuff? the trolltech site says some of qtopia is free, other stuff not). people seem pretty comfortable repackaging this and that... -- wylbur

I\'m glad you have it set up, sorry you had to buy a card writer but it will come in handy.

The free in sharp software is not like free beer. Trolltech offers some free SDK packages to use, they are available on their site.

GReg2,

If your SL-5600 is running the updated Sharp ROM Version 1.32C. You may want to use the following instrutions to mount the Z on your Mac desktop:

Make sure that the Zaurus is in the docking station.
Activate PC-link and check USB (IO-default) is selected, click OK to quit.
Activate PC-link again, now select USB (TCP/IP advacned) option and click OK to quit.
Use \"smb://192.168.129.201\" to mount the Z on your Mac desktop
