Very convenient when I want to copy to/from my phone.
I tried to use SSH server on Kobo Glo, but couldn't connect via putty. Putty keep asking login name and pass, even when I set to connect without password... Access denied.
Also tried SendToEbook, it did not work with my phone, do not know why.
Could you please tell if there is an easy wireless way to connect reader from PC? I usually download fb2 on my PC end then copy it to device. Not very convenient to do it via cable, after found out the method with FTP server 
Thank you for you work. |
Yeah, the application SendToEbook doesn't work. I'm not sure if it worked sometime in the past. The app acts like a FTP server, while the plugin in KOReader acts as a FTP client. You can use another FTP server on your phone and retrieve contents using that plugin.
About ssh auth, setup shared keys or a new root password and you'll be able to use it. I would suggest WinSCP instead of Putty, but both should work fine.
