Kindle dumps Telnet connection after a minute.
I wrote a simple program that allows me to graphically Telnet into the Kindle's hidden partitions and Drag & Drop files where I want to.
My only problem is that the Kindle RE-SETS the telnet connection after a few minutes. Anyone have the same issue - and solved it? This happens even if I use plain-ol'e telnet. I can change the partition to read/write. I start looking at some files and ... bang! telnet connection is closed. I must admit I rarely use telnet, so what-up? Anyone else getting booted off their Kindle DX? (ROM 2.3). usbNetwork is still working on the Kindle, I just need to reestablish the telnet session. Right now it's like a race: - telnet into the Kindle, - make the partition read/write, - change to the directory I want, - grab the file I need, -- All before the connection is closed. If all goes well I can edit the file I grabbed on the 'puter. Then re-do the process to save the file back to the Kindle BEFORE the connection is lost. But I can't edit the file directly on the Kindle as the connection closes so fast that even simple edits are lost. Last edited by software.enginee; 01-27-2010 at 10:26 AM. |

1. Kill the netwachd
2. Why did you write an extra program? We have dropbear running, so ssh, so scp. And tools like winscp work quite well. |

I noticed this telnet time-out as well. Have you found a solution?

when you ssh into your Kindle just type:
/etc/init.d/netwatchd stop |
