Guest sm4tik Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 I'm currently using CM7 and the one thing I've meant to find out since I got my blade is how to share files between my desk(/lap)top and blade without usb. I know it's possible, but I've not managed to run into a tutorial or alike which would tell me how. So, all ideas are welcome! ..even just app names etc, I'll sort the rest out myself :) Thanks in advance!
Guest k0zmic Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I know it's obvious but Dropbox? Edited June 20, 2011 by k0zmic
Guest sm4tik Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I know it's obvious but Dropbox? Actually.. no.. it wasn't obvious? For some reason I've had the impression that it was for windows only, so I've simply overlooked the option. Will look into it, thanks! edit: I am still looking for something like sshfs or alike, mounting over the air stuff :) Edited June 20, 2011 by sm4tik
Guest Amphoras Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 You could try Cifs Manager. It lets you mount a shared location on your network to the sdcard, so you can access any files from the phone. I use it to access music etc on a network drive, but I assume you could do it with a desktop/laptop as well.
Guest sm4tik Posted June 21, 2011 Report Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all the replies! I just remembered adb wireless and got it working without any hassle, I'll stick with it for copying files backand forth etc. CifsManager seems like a thing I was looking for (though I have to set up nfs on my computer), still looking for alternetives for streaming files over wifi. Basically I'd like to listen to music etc. every now and then without having to copy it over to the phone. Not the best idea battery wise, but it still is a thing I'd like to get working even just as an excersise :) Edited June 21, 2011 by sm4tik
Guest wbaw Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 CM7 includes a ssh/sftp server. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?titl...Device_with_SSH

Will look into it, thanks! edit: I am still looking for something like sshfs or alike, mounting over the air stuff :) I've recently started using Dropbox and it works great. I have it loaded on my Linux (Ubuntu) desktop, my Windows laptop and my San Francisco/Blade and it all works flawlessly. If you want to copy pictures from the phone to the PC then you just select the photo in the gallery and then select "Share" and dropbox is an option along with Bluetooth, email, text, Facebook etc, etc.
Guest sm4tik Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) @Phoenix Silver, wbaw: Ok, so maybe my knowledge of ssh isn't that great afterall, but how (if at all?) can I stream/paly (or even copy w/o scp) files over ssh? I know I can do stuff like 'cat file' to stdin, but that doesn't help much with the stock player :) Edited June 22, 2011 by sm4tik
Guest reeprich Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Or you can try CifsManager from market... Tested on SS5 ROM and working with windows and linux NAS shares. some "howto" HERE

If you want to stream media to your phone, then you might want to use a dlna server, along with an app from Android Market. You can stream media straight to the stock player using vlc, but I'm not sure what settings you'd need. Edited June 23, 2011 by wbaw

One thing still to figure out is how to get that dynamic ip of my blade so I wouldn't have to use a static one. Currently I'm using a static ip and added it to my hosts on my desktop and it's working as it should. I've actually never had to use avahi etc. so all ideas are welcome. It's not just media I want to stream, basically I'd want sshfs on my blade too but I guess using nfs on my desktop and CifsManager to mount it works the same though still needs some additional tinkering.. Will post here once I get it all up and running :) edit: Ok, so I can't get my nfs share mounted on blade and I bumped into this thread, continuing the hunt there. Thanks wbaw and the rest once again for all your help! edit2: and I just realized dropbear causes a wakelock, but now that I know this I'll remove it from my userinit.sh Edited June 23, 2011 by sm4tik
Guest wbaw Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Getting sshfs to work with the phone as client is trickier, because it relies on FUSE & also a kernel mod to support FUSE. I looked into it, there is an android port of fuse, but I'm not sure if it works. You can of course use apps to browse sftp servers, but it'd be nice to be able to mount it so that it appeared as a directory on the phone (like /sdcard/music or whatever). FUSE may also allow encrypted local file systems.

I've googled for it and read a few topics on it too and there doesn't seem to be a straight forward way of getting it to work, atleast not at the moment. I think I'll just keep an eye on the both fuse and sshfs, but won't get deeper into it right now. Btw, I'm still kind of puzzled about the wakelock with dropbear, it doesn't seem to happen if I launch it from terminal (or adb shell), only if I start it at boot time? Oh well, feels like I've got my hands dirty all over at the same time and only a little time to actually do anything. Taking bits and pieces from here and there but actually still missing most of the big picture of android. ..continuing my hunt for "the linux within android" or something :)

Guest sm4tik Posted June 24, 2011 Report Posted June 24, 2011 Phoenix Silver has compiled a kernel with fuse support for cm7 Worth a test maybe Got a link, or should I just pm her?
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 I have compiled the kernel with fuse Sshfs works But i have a strange problem Usb don't work with my kernel I haven't found why yet I'll publish the kernel and the guide as soon as i have found why usb don't work in cm7 when i flash a new kernel Cheers Alice
Guest Enbeto Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 Hi Alice, how did you manage to make sshfs working? I 'have been looking after this since a long time. Right now I could compile the fuse.ko module for my kernel I can load it using insmod. I tried to compile sshfs using the arm cross compiler but I, after many tries, I abounded. I could run ./configure with all the proper flags (I guess), but the make process fails. Then I tried to mount the remote folder using sshfs from a chrooted debian. It connects good, but, after providing the password, my device (dell streak) just reboots. Did you compile sshfs by your own? Many thanks for your help Albert
Guest Mushroom_Lord Posted August 30, 2011 Report Posted August 30, 2011 For me its a combination of FileZilla and "FTPSever" from the market.
Guest iNoobz2Droid Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) i use pure-ftp on my gentoo linux machine as ftp server and access it via "ES File Explorer" from my Blade that has the advantage that i can access my windows machine network sharings and even the dropbox cloud with same app Edited August 31, 2011 by iNoobz2Droid
