Accessing N900 files from another wireless device - maemo.org

regulus | # 1 | 2013-10-13, 16:07 | Report

In order to access files on my N900 from my "desktop" computer, I usually go with WinSCP, with SSHD running on my N900. How about if I want to access N900 files from another wireless mobile device (be it iOS or Android), what options do I have? Especially if I'd like to browse through the photos as if they were local, or even stream a video. Is it doable?

Also with applications, that support the sftp protocol, like Ghost Commander from Android. There are ssh capable Apps in iOS, but i am not sure if there is any outside of the Cydia repo manager.

I suppose setting up a samba server on N900 is also a possibility? I'm not sure if video streaming or browsing photos directly is possible via (s)ftp...

Investigate dlna / upnp server on the n900 and a player for the other end. There was at least 1 working when I last looked.

I am using 'RemoteMultiDrive" app from ovi. Easy to setup and access.

On a Linux box, 'sshfs' is a marvelous thing. It lets you locally mount a remote directory via vanilla ssh. There might be a port for Android/IOS
