View Full Version : Can I pull files down to the N800 from my PC...
or network attached hard drive over my home wireless network? In other words, can I dispense with the usb cable and transfer files via wifi?
Thanks for any info.

They were written for the 770, but I'm assuming it works for the N800 as well (links to N800-specific software are in the howtos).
You might want to browse through the howtos; they're full of all kinds of interesting stuff.
I'm not sure about NAS or NDAS hard drives; I bought one myself, but haven't set it up yet (that'll be a while...)
SSH/SCP/SFTP or regular FTP also work well, if you're willing to deal with a command-line app. I cross-compiled gftp, it's rough around the edges, but does work to connect to SFTP and FTP servers. See This thread for details (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6647&highlight=gftp).

If that's a Windows PC, then once you have an SSH server running on your n800, you can use WinSCP (http://winscp.net) for drag and drop file transfers to/from your n800. On my Mac, I use MacFusion and sshfs to remotely mount parts of the n800 file system. I shall look into doing the same on my Ubuntu box. Also, keep an eye on maemo-fuse in the garage, which should allow use of the ssh file-system for mounting remote file-systems on the n800 when its done.
If you're using KDE under Linux on the desktop, Konqueror has a protocol called fish:// that gives you a nice graphical file browser over SSH to the tablet. To use it, simply enter fish://username@hostname(OR IP)/path/to/folder. If you don't enter a path, it dumps you in your home directory.
