you put that file on your phone with SSH or bluetooth or USB or whatever and run it from a terminal like this (maybe it needs devel-su first?):
`n9Export sms.csv`
`n9Export -c calls.csv`

Thanks. I have now downloaded (I used the "Download" button) from here: https://github.com/teleshoes/n9-conf...S/bin/n9Export the file "n9Export". I put it to the N9 and moved it to the home/user/

Then i tried

n9Export sms.csv (first as user, then as root) and all I get is
n9Export: not found

What am I missing? Is the file in the wrong place?

I start to remember that I have had some kind of similar problems earlier... Should the file be in $PATH? If I

Code:

~ #echo $PATH
/usr/bin: /bin

so should the file be in /usr/bin? (Which happens to be a directory that I don't have write access so it is a bit difficult to move the file there...)
