Can transfer files via telnet

[vincewarde]

I'm a fairly sharp small network guy - somewhat new to linux - but I have been able to do the following to my series 1 tivo:

1) Add a second, 60GB drive

2) Install tivonet and get it going for updates

3) Set up Telnet and telnet to a linux prompt

4) Create the /var/hack directory

I'm stuck at getting files over to the tivo via telnet (i.e. the ftp server!!!) I have tried three different terminal clients and the zmodem transfer fails every time.

Two questions:

1) How do I get the tivoftpd over to the tivo?

2) What do I do to start it once it is there?

Thanks!

Mine were on an ISO that i booted from, and installed. I believe all the stuff was installed (tivoftpd) when I put in the turbonet drivers.

otherwise you can use the HTTP_GET to get the files from another PC to your directory that you want and then chmod +x the tivoftpd and walla

be sure you change your mount to read write mode.

and then back to read only when you done

Thanks for your help!

HTTP_GET enabled me to get the tivoftpd over to the Tivo - from there everything was easy!

I now have Tyserver up and running and I'm download program from my Tivo!
