I just picked up a new N800. I know nothing but looking at this site with the extreme amount of information - frankly - I'm scared. I have figured out a lot on my own but would like to cut right to the chase on this question -
How do I tranfer images and mp3's via WIFI from my XP Pro PC to the N800 ?
I have 2 giggs onboard and 2 giggs removable.
Thanks for the help and I enjoy being with a group that recognizes internet tablets are way cool. Hopefully I have reluctantly dropped my NoteBook into the Grey tray at the airport for the last time.
Johni

You may want to change the root password since your n800 will be accesible thru ssh. Finally using winscp browse to /media/mmc1 or /media/mmc2 and copy anything you want to ur n800`s internet and external memory flash cards :P and ur Done!

I am unable to see the openssh-server app after installed it...should I reach it thru x-term?

On the tablet:
- The regular user's name is simply "user"
- You need to open up an X Terminal
- You need to be logged into the root account (via putting your tablet into R&D mode or installing the becomeroot package and typing 'sudo gainroot') Becomeroot can be found here:
http://eko.one.pl/maemo/dists/bora/u....1-2_armel.deb
- change the password for the "user" account. It is done with the command 'passwd user' . You will then be prompted to enter a password twice.
On your Windows machine:
- Use this password and the username "user" in the winscp setup.
Other tips:
If you are using DHCP to assign an IP to your tablet, sometimes the tablet gets a different one assigned. Some routers allow you to assign static DHCP leases based on the MAC address of the machine. If you can do this, it saves you the hassle of figuring out your IP each time. Or you can just use static IPs.

the ssh server (sshd) runs as a service when it is installed, so you shouldn't need to do anything more on the n800, if you know the n800's ip address. if you don't know it, enter the command '/sbin/ifconfig' and note the address for wlan0.
now try to connect from the windows box using winscp.

and mask:
went to Winscp entered the inet addr on host name field, user name user, password: none... no connection..
What am I doing wrong?

well, as above, you need to log in as 'root' with password 'rootme'. on the n800, the 'user' user has no passwd, so you can't log in as them.
Just got my 800 - still fiddling.
