Python File Server

This package implements a simple file server that makes it possible to
|
|
|
5 |
update the files on the phone faster than by sending them over OBEX.

After connecting the phone to the PC, the PC has the power to execute
|
|
|
11 |
arbitrary code and to rewrite any file on the phone. It goes without
|
|
|
12 |
saying that you should connect only to targets that are known to be
|
|
|
13 |
safe.

Prerequisites
|
|
|
16 |
-------------
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
- PyS60 installed on phone. Any version should work.
|
|
|
19 |
- Cygwin version of Python 2.4 installed on the PC
|
|
|
20 |
- Bluetooth connectivity on the PC

Usage
|
|
|
23 |
-----
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
1. Install fileserver.py to the phone as a library, and fsgui.py as a
|
|
|
26 |
script.
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
2. Add a Bluetooth serial port to the PC. You will probably want to
|
|
|
29 |
have _two_ BT serial ports available: one for the file server and one
|
|
|
30 |
for the Bluetooth console.
|
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
3. Edit the end of fctool so it connects to the correct serial
|
|
|
33 |
port. /dev/ttyS4 == COM5, /dev/ttyS5 == COM6 etc.
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
4. Place fileclient.py into /lib/python2.4/site-packages in your Cygwin
|
|
|
36 |
environment, and fctool into your PATH.
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
5. Start fsgui.py, and select the serial port you want to use.
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
6. Run "fctool ping". If it says that the file server is alive, all is well.
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
7. Write a synchronization script. An example (dosync) is included.
|

Notes
|
|
|
45 |
-----
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
The fsgui.py script will store the Bluetooth address and port in the file
|
|
|
48 |
C:\system\apps\python\fileserver_conf.txt. If Python is installed on other
|
|
|
49 |
drive than C: then this file is not automatically removed when Python is
|
|
|
50 |
uninstalled.
