MX-760HD FileTransferToInternalHardDrive

From MvixCommunity

Here is how to transfer files to the internal Mvix MX-760HD hard drive

Once you have the telnet daemon running, you can use this remote login to transfer files to the internal drive without having to connect the player to a PC using USB.

The drive has to have ext3, or FAT32 as the file system, not NTFS. The firmware only has read-only support for NTFS, but from 1.1.25 it has full read/write support for ext3.

Then simply use the built-in command wget to fetch files from a web or ftp server which is quite handy. E.g.

   way:/tmp/ide/part1# wget http://www.mvixusa.com/images/logo.jpg
   Connecting to www.mvixusa.com[72.29.86.148]:80

   way:/tmp/ide/part1#  wget ftp://ftp:ftp@ftp.uio.no/pub/ls-lR.gz
   Connecting to ftp.uio.no[158.36.2.10]:21
   ls-lR.gz             100% |*****************************|  4487 KB    00:00 ETA

Note however, that there are file size limitations here. The built-in wget command will not fetch files of more than 2^32 (4294967296) bytes (4Gb) over ftp. Trying to get larger files will result in the error message wget: SIZE value is garbage.

The same thing is most likely the case for http as well. And in addition to this, your web server may or may not handle files of more than either 2Gb or 4Gb depending on compilation options. Author's comment: Stock Apache 2.0.55 on 64-bit Ubuntu Edgy will happily serve you larger files though.
