Thanks in advance

EDIT: it does show up in the application manager but that's it.. it doesn't show up in the menu..
You bring up a good point. Perhaps all packages should drop a HowTo into the MyDocs dir that tells where everything is and how to use it. This should be a requirement for packagers IMHO.

It would require no SW to be put on the client machine and could be quickly deployed.
Exactly - not every box I want to transfer from runs an ftp server. I much prefer ftping into the N900 than out.

On another note this auto build process is dumber than hell.

I will try another shot at it and then I will just put the deb up at my garage page.

Well it took me hard coding in some of the optifying parameters but the build now works and installs everything in the correct location and looks for everything in the correct locations.

Version e is the on you need.

You have to configure the /opt/etc/proftpd.conf file first. There are many guides online for how to do that. Personally I use a perl script to generate ftpd.passwd and ftpd.group files and then configure the conf file with


Code:
#Alternative user auth
AuthUserFile /opt/etc/ftpd.passwd
AuthGroupFile /opt/etc/ftpd.group
I can post the perl script here - you will need to grab down some extra perl libs but they are easily found.

Its a bad idea to allow anonymous logins - much better to set up an ftp user .

I dunno if this was mentioned, but if someone wants to use t-mobile in the USA with something like this, they can try to get t-mobile total internet with VPN, which they do not NAT.

ex:
http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.p...ernet_with_VPN

or there may be a way to do a socks proxy, and socksify the app... or do an SSH tunnel. As long as they give you a hole somewhere to shove those packets through, you can make it work!
