It would make the pain of loosing the USB port that much less.

Any thoughts?
  • On N900 install OpenSSH server from the repos.
  • On PC, assuming Windows, install WinSCP.
  • Connect to your WiFi router with the N900 noting its IP address.
  • Use WinSCP to login to the N900's IP address and you can then copy files back and forth with the GUI.
  • Not as fast as USB but faster than Bluetooth.
