Gp2x Samba Telnet Help

[jkgp2x]

ive never used telnet before and i was wondering is how you use that to mount a directory on your pc onto the gp2x. So i can execute files directly from my pc.

Create a folder /mnt/ext and use a script like this one

#!/bin/sh
insmod smbfs.o
smbmount //your_IP/folder/you/want /mnt/ext -o username=YourName,password=YourPassword
cd /usr/gp2x
./gp2xmenu

and it will mount the folder you specified to /mnt/ext, so that you can access it via the EXT Storage in GP2X Menu

Also, if you're using Windows XP and are unsure of the share name you can go into the cmd prompt (Type 'cmd' into the Run box that you bring up from the start menu.) and type NET SHARE and it will list all the shares on your computer.

Also, if using windows, IMHO you should use:

smbmount //your_IP/folder/you/want /mnt/ext -o guest

Ex:

smbmount //182.168.0.1/SharedDocs /mnt/ext -o guest

...so that you don't have to have your password sitting in plain-text on your memory card. (Just make the folder write-able by guests by checking the "Allow other users to change my files" box in the Share properties for that folder, if you plan on writing to it from the GP2X)

You can telnet to your GP2X by typing:

telnet ip-address-of-gp2x

into the command prompt
