Hi all,

I haven't managed to find anything here yet.

I'm looking for an FTP client for my phone so I can FTP items to various servers else where if need be.

Now for me to remote desktop into my work PC I have to first set up a VPN from my home PC. Is this going to be possible for Maemo 5 for the N900?

Thanks in advance.
I

For FTP, there is a port of gFTP in the making.
It's not yet ready in the Extras repository (the "maemo.org" application catalogue in the Application Manager) and hence is currently in Extras-Testing or Extras-Devel which should not be used by average end-users as the software could potentially harm your device. Use at your own risk.

Does Maemo 5 still come with the 'curl' application pre-installed? Or at least available in a repo? I use it to upload files to an ftp server.
e.g.
Code:
curl -T filename ftp://user:password@machine:/path/to/store/
If I need to send many files (e.g. all the photos from the SD card from my camera) I do the above in a shell loop:
Code:
for i in *.JPG; do
 curl -T $i ftp://user:password@machine:/path/to/store/
done
For downloading it's simpler to just use the browser.

Just did a apt-cache search curl and I found libcurl3... Is that the package Your looking for?

i dont get what you mean with remote desktop and vpn

vpn is for integrating secure connection to a remote network
if you would like to perform remote desktop actions, than you might look at VNC

Look at my signature... And search for rdesktop (for connecting to Windows boxes), or VNCviewer... Also search for vpn... It's all there...

EDIT -> There's also openconnect...

All You have to do is choose...

That was an old posting you were replying to.. since then I've got my own Maemo 5 device.
And no, libcurl3 is just the library, there's a curl application too, which doesn't seem to be available.
