you're awesome fredoll
gnomevfs worked nicely. I'll have to cleanup everything and fix bugs, but it did its work, thanks!

I used the example here: http://cs1.mcm.edu/tutorial/doc/gnom...-gnomevfs/vfs/ (async-xfer.py ) but to use it in maemo, it is imported like this:

import gnome.gnomevfs as gnomevfs

Anyway, thanks a lot, I'll update this thread with the fixed code soon
