When you copy files to your device, they land in /home/user/MyDocs/. The file manager is limited to this folder (and its subfolders) and cannot see files or directories outside it. You can also not execute any binaries that are within /home/user/MyDocs, that is why you have to move them to your /home/user/ folder first.

In xterm:

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/smsimporter /home/user/
cp /home/user/MyDocs/sms.csv /home/user/
chmod +x /home/user/smsimporter
cd /home/user/
run-standalone.sh ./smsimporter sms.csv

And no need to blame Nokia on this, they have nothing to do with the sms importing tools posted here - it's all a community effort
