Transfer media files wirelessly to Jolla device - maemo.org

dirtymoon | # 1 | 2014-04-20, 10:14 | Report

hi.
i'm looking for a reliable way to transfer files to my Jolla without having to go to a PC with the data cable.

I use the Android app called file expert on my Nexus 7 which can easily transfer from my NAS via FTP or Windows/Samba sharing but this app is unreliable when used with the Jolla, it either fails to copy or leaves the files and folders with the wrong permissions.

Does anyone know of a reliable Jolla or Android app for doing this? My NAS is running a DLNA server as well as FTP and windows sharing. I'd prefet to be able to copy to the internal storage rather than playing remotely.

Why don't just use scp? It is the simplest and the best for me.

Thanks for the suggestion but doesn't this require me to push the files over from a PC client? Don't mean to be fussy but i'd rather be able to use a client on the Jolla to pull the files over.

Hope this makes sense!

Hi @Dirtymoon check out SailServer in Jolla Store... it's a wifi/web server
you will not be able to upload files (yet dev said this will be possible in the future) but you can save files on your Computer that are on your Jolla Device...

Kind Regards

you can installl win-sshfs then and share folders you need. and then just mount windows share as folder in jolla.

but its better to find/wait/develop samba cifs for jolla to mount regular windows shared folders without using extra tools.

Well it works both ways of course.
And for best effect you could use rsync over ssh, then it automatically transfers your data when you drop something in a folder, for example.

btw, you can add this to /etc/fstab to make it more permanent, and not having to issue a long command line every time you want to mount

//servername/sharename /media/windowsshare cifs username=msusername,password=mspassword 0 0

then it should mount when you (as root) mount -a
