Hacks How to copy files without USBNet?

mrfakename · 10-18-2023, 09:10 PM

Hi all!
I was wondering if there's any way to copy files to a folder that isn't accessible by plugging my Kindle 3G (jailbroken) in over USB.
I've tried using USBNet, but I wasn't able to get it to work, as I'm using a newer version of macOS.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I'm specifically looking for ways to access the root filesystem (ie stuff not available via USB).

Another option - [KUAL Extension] HTTP-based file browser

How does that allow writing files to the root filesystem?

I think we can specify working directory (-r)

./filebrowser --noauth -a 0.0.0.0 -p 80 -r "/"

Hi @tekkasit,
Thanks for your suggestion! I tried the file browser KUAL extension on my Kindle Paperwhite 3 (3G), but nothing happened when I tried to launch it. (I'll also post this in the File Browser thread)

@mrfakename You need to know the Kindle IP (via "Show status"), then launch a web browser and browse to http://<your-kindle-ip-address>.
