Re: File Transfer PC to N800
 

however, i've just set up an authorised public key in the user account, so now i can log in via ssh as 'user' without needing a password, although I'm not sure how you could generate keys on windows.

Thanks fnordianslip and mwiktowi...too much complicated for me just to get the N800 and the pc seeing each other..
I am a linux noob, and for me life is to short for linux:)

Don't give up. It will all be worthwile when you install Linux on your desktop and get rid of windows altogether.

Re: File Transfer PC to N800
 

Thanks fnordianslip for cheer me up..but I am a very busy man, don't have too much time to spend with linux.
Also I am a Windows man, I like the Windows "new hardware found...GE Refrigerator...your refrigerator is ready to cold your six pack" stuff. I want to live relaxed, computers are not my work, not my hobby. I am thinking in sell my N800, I bought it because a coworker, but I am founding it is not for me. I can't listen my favorites radio streams (Windows Media based), too much video conversion, can't use MS Office, etc etc.
I was looking for other kind of experience.
Thanks again
MF

2magnoforte the dirt simple way to transfer files is to use gmail. attach and save as a draft, or any other email, attach and mail it to yourself

Re: File Transfer PC to N800
 

I already installed the TightVNC and the x11vnc as described in this thread but there is a BIG problem still ahead of me. I have been able to connect and view the tablet on my PC (WinXP). Sweet!! But the file transfer button is grayed out :(

How to activate that. Since that was the main reason I did all this!

Background:
- N800 with Nokia's beta OS2008
- x11vnc installed from the .deb packet following the link given further up in this thread (although I didn't need any "red pill" mode as mentioned there).
- TightVNC latest version as available on their site. Using the TightVNC viewer to connect to the N800 over WiFi at home
- both the PC and the tablet are in the same home WiFi router. Connecting was no problem
- I checked through all the options of the viewer and didn't find any mention of the Filetransfer there.

Getting desperate soon....

Re: File Transfer PC to N800
 

I'm using TightVNC viewer 1.3.9 with no problem transferring files. You say you don't see a File Transfer option? It is 4th from the bottom in the menu that comes up with you click the top-left icon in the title bar (not the toolbar) of the VNC window. There's also an icon in the toolbar next to the "Alt" icon.

I wonder if the file transfer window popped up under your VNC window?

Re: File Transfer PC to N800
 

The N800/810, OS2008 should see window shared folders. I have a shortcut to a shared folder on my desktop that I d & d any file I want on the N800, open the tablets file manager, then move the file to a local directory. I leave debs in the windows folder and can launch them from there from within the tablets file manager.
Could not be any easier. :)
