FTP on 2008
 

Is there an easy to use (non Linux command line) FTP program available for the N800 on the 08 OS? I have lost my VNC ability too on 08 and have not found a solution...Thanks

Re: FTP on 2008
 

I'd like an answer to this too.

All I could find in ten minutes of searching was a reference to MaemoFTP, but I haven't found a repository for it and don't know if it's available for OS 2008.

The easiest way (for download) is just use browser:

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Thanks, but I need upload. I tried a browser-driven upload page on my ISP, but the browser file select dialog only allows selecting one file at a time, and I need to upload a large directory.

Same here... I need upload/ download. A compact Filezilla would be great for the tablet. :)

Re: FTP on 2008
 

there is an updated version of maemoFTP on its way, been speaking to the developer - there should be a 2008 version available in the next week or so.

This is an edit !!

I just give http://www.net2ftp.com/ a go . it is an online FTP client. It seems to work great it has flash based uploader or java . I just tested the flash uploader to my ftp server and worked flash and easy i uploaded 5 pics Just fine. very clean site no popups .and seems fast . I think you will find this the easy way to ftp from n8X0 or 770

There maybe others out there but this one is clean.

Only problem is, those sites want the username and password on your account.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

I think i've seen others with builds of gftp, but you can use mine (on OS2008) if you want. It's pretty much a basic build/compile which i force fullscreen cause its cramped.

Obviously we need a good (more 'maemo-friendly') utility, but for now you can grab this quick build here :

If your english-us grab the smaller of the two gftp debs.

My MicroB seems to forget the password, even after I checked the box. In fact, sometimes even just going into a subdirectory will require me to re-enter the password. Anyone else experience such thing?

Re: FTP on 2008
 

This is true . But you can also download meny FTP clints that run webbased and just host the client your self . if you check frshmeat.net you can find a webbased client there and run it off your own webserver even a free hosting site may work.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Both of my web hosts use “Control Panel” which allows me to use the file manager to upload and download as needed. Maybe this will help until the updated maemoFTP comes out.

I would like to see more GUI based apps for the N800. I have a lot of admin tasks, ranging from server administration and file management, to network management. The only GUI app I have found so far is the VNC clone. I have not gotten aircrack, an FTP app, or Autoscan to work in a GUI environment and its hard to deal with the command line (assuming the app even works.) I thought the N800 might make it unneccessary to carry a laptop, but not yet....just easier for remote email and web browsing (for my lifestyle). I wanted to outfit my company with these things. (and they wont sync with Outlook); maybe I can get a Samba interface...

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Thanks! that works great for me!

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Did the trick for me! Thanks!

Re: FTP on 2008
 

For the occasional use command line would be ok for many folks I guess. I just 'curl' for that (it's almost always installed already).

Re: FTP on 2008
 

ncftp is an excellent command-line ftp client (bookmarks, remote filename completion, recursive get/put), been using it for well over ten years.

It's available from the repo at elkins.org.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Unless I'm missing something, once you're in gftp, you can't get out except by exiting. It's always in full screen mode.

Workaround: I learned here that ctrl-shift-H minimizes gftp (or any other app) and returns to the home screen. It worked even with an operation in progress.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Home key worked for me. I could then run other apps while gtfp was running.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

MaemoFTP seems to be available for OS2008. See this page http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jualasal/gb/maemoftp.html for details.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Thanks.

The MaemoFTP page says it "supports active and passive modes, so it should work also when being behind a NAT router (and that is quite often the case when using a wireless connection)."

I want to FTP from hotel rooms. It sounds like this would be useful.

Does gFTP support passive mode? I didn't see it on the menus ...

Re: FTP on 2008
 

I like OpenSSH.. Beyond the benefits of being able to SSH to my N800, Filezilla allows me to SFTP, which is basically a more secure version of FTP over SSH.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

Hi, pipeline, it works fine to me, but not supports Chinese file name/user name, I want to re-compile it, and can you give me a copy of the source code?

Re: FTP on 2008
 

The only i change i made was to add call to gtk_window_fullscreen. Thats just one line of code.

So i dont think i kept the source, but you (or i) could easily get the latest source from :
http://www.gftp.org/

It will compile and run under chinook with no mods at all.

So you installed my (larger) gtp and chinese didnt work? Odd cause i would have thought i included project's Chinese (zh_TW,zh_CN) language pack... but then i was just guessing ive never used linux language support before.

Re: FTP on 2008
 

yes, i18n version of it doesn't support Chinese file name, it needs a patch!
