Hi Folks,
Anyway as a power user I want some form of ssh. Openssh and dropbear are available but they only work outbound because user doesn't have a password and root is locked.

The official way of making backups seems to be
I'd prefer rsync or similar because that's what I'm used to, which is not yet available. I'll rethink that if it prooves too slow.
Anyway as a power user I want some form of ssh. Openssh and dropbear are available but they only work outbound because user doesn't have a password and root is locked.
So I need to setup a password for user which requires becoming root as described here. One way is R&D mode, which has side effects. The other way is installing becomeroot, which is not yet available from maemo.org for OS2008 but earlierer versions consist only of Debian postinst/prerm scripts, which will override gainroot such that this works without R&D mode. This is reported to work.
What are your file transfer options? Besides Bluetooth and USB
There's a package called gnomevfs-sftp, which mentions sftp and samba. Is this any good? Is there any application using gnomevfs?
