ssh&calibre : send documents through wireless to Kindle

[thomass]

is it possible to use calibre with a ssh connected kindle 3 so that send books through wireless in the library?
I currently use a virtual router technique (on windows 7) and ssh(WinSCP) to send/delete items on Kindle3.

It would be better if I could use Calibre also....

(I'd just found a thread about this, but not much promising

using "Connect to Folder" and "sftp://root@kindleIP/mnt/us/documents" looks promising, but not manage to work

If you can map that as a drive on your machine then Connect to Folder should work.

Thanks.
using a software ExpanDrive I map it on a drive. And calibre accept it as a folder. However identifying the documents takes too long if I choose documents folder as main folder. Then will not use probably.

I created a GUI plugin for this purpose. You can find it in the GUI plugins section. Only basic functionality though. EDIT: Ah, I noticed that you replied in that thread already...

It should only be excessively slow the first time you connect to the folder. However if you find it too slow everytime you can go to the device interface plugin for Folders and try unchecking read metadata from files on device. This should speed things up.

I installed it, not managed to use it. Any setting needed after installation?
edit: set the proper IP on settings page of the plugin
the rsync binary? should I install an external software?

I'd done what your said. But when I try to send a file I received an error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):

Indeed... as I have replied in the SSH plugin thread.

instead of direct communication, I've set a local folder as synchronized folder with kindle(double sided via WinSCP, also using "keep remote directory up to date" button possible ) . then use calibre with this folder. it turns out that this is much more efficient in terms of speed.
