Hi NiLuJe,

I have just installed your package, just because I need SSH on my brand new KOBO H2O.

Thank you very much for this development!!!!

I followed your work in old time !
I used your Kindle stuffs on my KNT4 and I very well known your name
There is no dubt this also a quality work from you.

For others step by step how to have ssh on H2O:

Why SSH?

Because this is the one of the simplest way to push documents to your Kobo H2O!


1. download NiLuJe compressed package from this forum #1 post. (kobo-stuff-1.4.N-r13159.tar.xz)
2. Untar kobo-stuff-1.4.N-r13159.tar.xz (i.e.:7zip for windows)
You will find a KoboRoot.tgz in it.
2. Connect Kobo H2O with USB to your PC.
3. Open your Kobo's .kobo directory and copy KoboRoot.tgz to it.
4. Push USB safe remove button on windows, or umount on linux.
5. disconnect USB cable. Wait for update sign.

You done. SSH and other stuffs installed on Kobo

How to start an SSH session?
1. Start Wifi and the Web Browser! on Kobo.
2. Discover your Kobo's IP.:
For example Angry IP scanner is one option. (Free)
3. ssh to Kobo ip:
Linux:
e.g.: ssh root@192.168.178.25 (No password!)
or Putty for windows.
or AndFTP for Android devices! (free)

AndFTP Settings :




How to upload a (i.e.:PDF) document?

Select your file on Android device and upload to Kobo's /mnt/onboard directory.



PDF File is in the right folder. Koreader can show it.

BTW: Anyone know how to refresh Nickel to realise new file arrived?

I hope it is help for others.

Best Regards,
Robert
