There is a thread here for ssh on a Mac, with pictures IIRC.
Try using the 'advanced search' feature of the forum.

Hi Waylander

Ok, ready for the next step?

You have to install (it's very simple) a view things on your reader:

1) KUAL
2) USB-Network
at least.
3) Then try to connect your reader over SSH with your mac. Do as explained in the first post (SPOILER). Klickme...

Great, thanks. All pretty straightforward. Thanks for getting back to me

I'm trying to install the USBnetwork .bin file on my KOA, but the update option remains grey. I've restarted the device, re-copied the .bin file into the root, and the option is still greyed out. What am I doing wrong?

You must use MrPI to install USBNetwork bin (or any other non-Amazon-signed
[= bin files created by MobileRead users] bin file, with the exception of "hotfix" bin package).

Waylander · 01-28-2017, 05:55 AM

OK, I've done that now. I then followed the instructions in the linked post about setting SSH up, but even though I did the search-bar step, my device still showed up as connected to my Mac when I plugged it in.

shamanNS · 01-28-2017, 11:48 AM

Use KUAL's USBNetwork submenu (button "Toggle USBNetwork") to toggle the USB mode.

Analogus · 01-28-2017, 12:57 PM

Hi!

1) You have to toggle the USB-network ONE time to switch it on (button 'Toggle USBNetwork'). Make sure, switching is ok by controlling it with the button'USBNetwork Status'.

2) then after that, type in the search-bar on your reader ';UN'

3) then plug in your reader with the USB-cable. Now it should not shop up the 'pluged-in-screen'

Waylander · 01-30-2017, 08:08 AM

Hi. I don't seem to have the USBNetwork button "Toggle USBNetwork" in KUAL, which probably means it hasn't installed properly. I'll have another go and get back to you.

Waylander · 01-30-2017, 08:13 AM

OK, re-did USBNetwork .bin in the mrpackages folder and now have the USBNetwork toggle in KUAL, so at least that's that bit sorted.

Waylander · 01-30-2017, 08:17 AM

Right, done the ;un bit, which has worked. Now proceeding on with the next stages. Thanks again for all your help and patience guys. Much appreciated.

Waylander · 01-30-2017, 08:28 AM

OK, I hand typed in the ping etc etc and it now works so no worries.

Waylander · 01-30-2017, 09:23 AM

OK, I have SSH access. The instructions linked to on the third page of this thread were a bit confusing because Analogus has already created the Jar file, so what happens now? Where do I drop his Jar file?

Waylander · 01-30-2017, 10:02 AM

I tried to replace the existing Jar file with the Jar I downloaded through SSH. I'm using Transmit to do this. However, when I tried to carry this out, I got a message saying that it couldn't be replaced, as it couldn't get a "remote handle". Don't really know where to go now.

shamanNS · 01-30-2017, 10:27 AM

You're replacing original jar file with modified, so the same location.
