Yes its "ifconfig" but my experience is you can only run this command as root, if you install the "becomeroot" package via application manager, its just a matter of typing "sudo gainroot" and then "ifconfig" to check ip assigned to NIT ;)

This is my experience when trying to share a Folder on PC for NIT, like you I am tired of checking windows and router settings/firewalls in order to get these types of things working. (Anyway its not as elegant a solution as winscp, for reasons I mentioned in earlier posts within this thread)

I've written up the procedure for putty, pscp and winscp on the wiki.

winscp is a two paned explorer type interface for the PC which allows me to securely ftp (via ip address) to the Nokia N800 and transfer files in either direction over wi-fi securely. (sync files etc)

tip. only install main openssh program on N800 where you will be asked to change password for root if you have not already done so. openshh for NIT's can be found in the maemo extras repository, if you do not have repo already installed in application manager
I'm unable to run or install Winscp or the FAR plugin in WinXP SP2, because I get an illegal instruction error on all versions back to 4.05. I have no idea why this would be.

I wonder if this suggestion is any help from winscp forum?

http://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.ph...al+instruction

i.e. The file(s) you have been downloading are incomplete or corrupt in some way?

If I recall correctly, you shouldn't need to be root for this if you give explicit path to the command i.e. type /sbin/ifconfig

Your right, thanks for the information.

Re: Transfer files from Windows PC to Nokia via WLAN
 
I am still slightly confused. How do I find the host name of my device? Or do I have to change the port number or something else?

To find the ip of the Nokia Internet Tablet NIT device, open Xterm under utilities and type /sbin/ifconfig then you can scroll back through the information provided to find the ip assigned to your device.

In winscp on the PC for example, you would use the NITs ip address and an Account & Password of your NIT to gain access to it via winscp.

I am currently using root but am aware I should ideally be using user account. (Other links in this and other threads explain how set ssh/everything up to login to the NIT as User)

Re: Transfer files from Windows PC to Nokia via WLAN
 
A dialogue window pops up saying that the server I am connecting to may not be who it says it is. Even though I say "yes" i trust the device, the authentication fails. I had changed the root password, but it isn't accepted. Any Ideas?

Re: Transfer files from Windows PC to Nokia via WLAN
 
When I try to login using winscp, the connection times out, even though the tablet is connected to the internet, and openssh is installed.

Edit: I got it fixed. I was running my wan input thru a switch and into my desktop and into my wireless router. That didn't work. After eliminating the switch it works fine for whatever reason.

Thanks for all the help.
