step by step: file transfer between winPC and tablet using SSH

WARNING: I know NOTHING about security, if you care about security, you need to check it out yourself before attempting. Again, my only security is my user and password, if you pick something real simple, like rootme, tablet, n800, you may open your whole tablet to the world, like, uh.........flashing/indecent exposure

1) set up password for root (Optional step only if you do not know your password for root )
xterm
sudo gainroot
passwd
bunSSH (substitute with your own password and remember it, you need it for the whole installation)

2) install openssh on tablet
App manager>browse installable app>openssh
will install openSSH, openSSH-client, openssh-server
set new root password> bunSSH

3) dl/install WinSCP 4.1.6 http://winscp.net/eng/download.php#download2
click the first choice, installation package.
you need to know your tablet ip address, connection manager>Internet connection>IP address

Winscp installation,
session tablet ip address
user root
password bunSSH

save the installation so you dont have to do it everytime
"....are you sure this is the computer your want to...." yes and save it in cache

done

Now you are presented with a window of the local file and a window of the tablet, txf file by dragging files between windows. Happy winSCP!

If you are using the same drive over and over again, just save the sessions, the next time you log into the sessions, the drives/files are right there.

enjoy,

N8x0/Diablo/MMC boot
770/Chinook/MMC boot
Edit: work for N900 too

if you forget your root password, no sweat, info here, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=11047, thread #15
