Well, I'm trying to figure out how to access the file system of my N800 so that I can put some ScummVM games on it.

I've got a 1GB SD card and it holds a few games, but I'd like to put a couple more directly onto the N800. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this.

I did get SSH to work, but it was not very clear. First, I installed rootsh. Then I ran sudo gainroot. Then I installed openssh, and was able to connect by finding my IP address using the command "ifconfig" in the x terminal along with port 22. I used FileZilla on my Windows PC to connect to my N800.

However, when I tried to connect again, I noticed that I didn't have root access so I couldn't use ifconfig to view my IP address (I forgot what it was). Is there no way to permanently have root access so I don't have to type "sudo gainroot" each time I want to look at my IP address?

Or, is there a better way to transfer files directly onto my N800? Please bear in mind I'm a complete linux/N800 newbie here.. I'm learning a lot of things for the first time.
