file transfer

[cosmic007]

I have spent the last 6 hours looking for a solutions on the threads but can not find on that works. All i want to do is transfer three files from my computer to my directTV tivo. They both are on my network. I am able to telnet into the tivo just fine. I have tivoweb running on the tivo and it works fine. I want to transfer to files to /var/hack/bin & i want to transfer a third file to /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/modules/ui.itcl the third file will replace the ui.itcl file. The tivo box has this version of bash

GNU bash, version 2.02.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)

I have tried

[localhost:~] cosmic% scp nc 10.0.0.200:/var/hack/bin
ssh: connect to address 10.0.0.200 port 22: Connection refused
lost connection
[localhost:~] cosmic% rcp nc 10.0.0.200:/var/hack/bin

10.0.0.200: Connection refused


with no luck, which come to find out , the normal commands with not work or are not turned on????


I have tried to push the file from my computer to the tivo with these commands but they do not work and i have tried to turn on sshd

bash-2.02# rcp 10.0.0.2:Desktop/nc /var/hack/bin
bash: rcp: command not found
bash-2.02# chkconfig
bash: chkconfig: command not found
bash-2.02# chkconfig--level345 sshd on
bash: chkconfig--level345: command not found
bash-2.02# sshd on
bash: sshd: command not found

can someone please tell me how to transfer these three files.

Thanks

Non of the protocols you're trying have daemons on the Tivo. You can make a serial cable and use zmodem. Then xfer the ftp daemon and use that afterwards.

I dont have a serial connection on my G4 i am on a mac running OS x. Isnt there a way to do it over my LAN connection. When i first got the tivo online i was able to FTP in using IE but it will not connect anymore. How can i get the FTP fixed?
Thanks

I don't know why ftp would have just stopped. If you telnet in and type ps aux, do you see the ftp daemon (tivoftpd) running? If not, try launching it again.

i get this

[localhost:~] cosmic% telnet 10.0.0.200
Trying 10.0.0.200...
Connected to 10.0.0.200.
Escape character is '^]'.
bash-2.02# ps aux
bash: ps: command not found
bash-2.02#

Your path isn't set correctly, or perhaps you lost the /var/hack directory. This can happen if the Tivo decides there is too little space left. You may have to restore /var/hack. Does it work if you type /var/hack/ps aux or /tivo-bin/ps aux?

I restarted my tivo and i was able to ftp in just fine.

Thanks for your help!
