i myself am very much a beginner in Xterminal, i know my way around some codes, but not allot.

I somehow can't get it to work while i've done everything that i'm supposed to do...

to give you a simple guide, all you have to do is type these codes in xterminal. Make sure you've installed Rootsh (from the cataloges in the app manager

Open Xterminal and type:

Code:

root
apt-get install maemo-python-device-env
apt-get install python-location 
apt-get install pexpect
apt-get install ncftp (cli ftp client)
apt-get install gstreamer-tools 
apt-get install openssh

close xterminal

open smscon_daemon (from where you downloaded it to) with "notes"

and edit these lines into the appropriate lines

Code:

RemoteHost = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'   # remote server address
RemotePort = 22   # remote server port
RemotePath = '/XXXXXXXXXXXX'  # remote server ftp path
RemoteUser = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'   # remote user
RemotePassword = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX' # remote password

after this save the file and close "notes"

now move both the files to N900/newfolder (create the newfolder if you don't have it yet)

open Xterminal: note some letters are Capitals!

Code:

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
cp /home/user/MyDocs/newfolder/* /usr/bin

close Xterminal

open Xterminal again:

Code:

root
cd /usr/bin
chmod 755 smscon
chmod 755 smscon_daemon

after that smscon should work.

you can run smscon by opening Xterminal:

Code:

root
smscon -start

for other commands use this code:

Code:

root
smscon -help

use your up arrow to get the last input you entered in Xterminal, and change it if it's easier than retyping the whole code.

Good luck, however somehow my phone doesn't recognise python

hope yours does.
