Hi.

I have tryed to search for this but didn't find anything... :S

Is it possible to make the N900 into a NAS of some kind, som I can access files an folders on it, an upload files from my PC to the N900 over my wireless network? Had a similar program to my N97 og N95 that was called symNAS.

Hope someone can help out here. Thanks.

Search for ftpd. And you should be able to upload the files using ftp protocol.

So there is nothing out there that doesn't use the ftp protocol?

your options right now are ssh,ftp,or bt. i believe.

for moving files from the device using the device you can use wizard mounter and access samba shares.

i dont think there is cifs/samba server for the device, which i think is what you are after. please somebody correct me if there is available

Hm, okay. If someone comes over something like this, pls do tell!
Will try ftp then. quipper8: do you got an direct link?

I am using rsync for this purpose all the time.
I.e. sync a photos folder on my Mac with the N900 DCIM folder, sync my ebooks with the N900 Books folder, and backup all those hidden files and directories from N900 into backup folder on my Mac... and much more.
The rsync commands tend to get complex, so save them into a script file and later just call that script.

Single files are easy to move around in either direction with scp (you just install openSSH on the N900).

a link for what? just search application manager.

rm53, do you have any scripts about? This is the kind of syncing I'd really like to do for my N900

I would think that you could use SSHFS, if you're accessing it from a Linux box (I'm not aware of an SSHFS-like pseudo-filesystem for any other platforms, but there might be). AFAIK, this really is no different than the standard scp and friends, except that it abstracts it all as a mountable filesystem. I use this at university on my laptop so that I can write code using an IDE, but have it stored on a university server that only has command-line access. If you have sustained connectivity for the phone, and just need an easy way to browse it, and grab and toss files to and from it, then this might be useful. Then again, SFTP probably isn't much worse than this, depending on what your needs are.

Hope there will be a simpel app so yo can access the N900 like a NAS on the wireless netword in the future. For now i went for scp and openSSH.
