Other Nokia N900 GNU tips

To mount and access the Nokia N900 filesystem locally:

• Install sshfs

To enable back and forth copying to and from the Nokia N900 and not suffer permissions issue make sure you have a `users' group and `user' user on the PC, i.e.:

• # addgroup users # adduser —ingroup users user

Then on the PC:

• Create the Nokia N900 filesystem mountpoint:

  # mkdir /media/n900 # chown user:users /media/n900

Now, everytime to mount and use the N900 filesystem:

1. Connect the N900 to the PC with the USB cable.
2. Choose PC-Suite mode in the popup window, that appears on the N900 upon connecting the USB cable.
3. On the N900:

   # ifup usb0

4. On the PC:

   $ su user user@pc:~$ sshfs root@192.168.2.15:/ /media/n900

Now your full Nokia N900 filesystem is mounted in /media/n900 and you can access it regularly.
