need help.....copying files via wifi

[Guest eros47]

hi, i used ssh in my iphone to copy big files to and from my iphone and PC through my wifi router. Is that possible in my hero, given that its a much more open platform. connecting the usb cable every time is a big hassle. :)

Search for FTPServer on the Market.

Should be possible with SCP. Putty's command line pscp utility can help you: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatha...y/download.html

aFile is another solution that provide a web based (flash or html) ui to your sdcard

[Guest pulser]

I would imagine that it would also be possible on the Hero using something like Better Terminal Emulator (paid) or ConnectBot (Free). The former is more reliable with respect to the soft keyboard, but there are tonnes of terminal emulators on market, so just take your pick.

I haven't tried this yet, but I can't see any real reason why it wouldn't work (not really knowing your wifi setup etc. and how the files would be browsed - would it be a remote mount point such as /networkfiles ?)

I've got a variety of ways I do this, but the one I use most is EStrongs File Explorer, which can connect to Samba/CIFS shares on the network.... I've just got a 'Phone' share where I dump APKs I want to install, and I can also transfer backups from my SD card to the network storage to archive them.

Just like pillock above, I use EStrongs File Manager to copy from a LAN computer to the Hero. For copying to LAN computers, I use a tool called OM SDCard Wifi Access. Lets you access the Hero via a specified IP and port number through a web browser. Only read access for phone data is possible though, that's why I use EStrongs File Manager for the other way.

using scp

for computer to hero using scp and dropbear

scp -P port# --path on local computer-- root@--remote ip--:~~remote path~~

example

scp -p 2222 ~/Desktop/picture [email protected]:/hero.sdcard

------------------------------------------------------------------

for the other way around: to send from hero to computer

scp --path on hero-- -P port# root@--hero ip-- --path on computer

for example

scp /sdcard/recovery.img -p 2222 [email protected] ~/Desktop

i think......

just for the record: you used a lowercase "p" in the examples. afaik the uppercase "P" from your explanation is correct.
