Hi
I tried to install ncftp directly from the browser from here:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../free/n/ncftp/
But appman always gave "Application Not Compatible with device" or something to that effect. Of course I chose the Arm version.
Then I tried to install it as root with "apt-get install ncftp" and got package not found error.
Lastly I downloaded the .deb from the URL above and manually installed it with dpkg, which worked fine, the app itself working fine too.
Out of curiosity I tried to install two other apps with the method first mentioned, apps I knew worked, but also got the incompatible message. I have a N900 with PR1.3.
Can someone explain this to me please?
