I was looking at this SD card 6-7 months ago when I went over seas on vacation. I saw that it was configured to upload to Flickr, Smugmug, and other photo sites. I don't want to upload my photos to one of thoes sites. I wanted to upload it to my box at home. I didn't see a SCP or FTP option. What happens if I created my own web services api for my photos? I didn't see an option to use a non pre defined web service. Because of all of this, I decided not to buy the eye-fi.

I had it up and running in like 3 minutes, and it saves a lot of time uploading the tons of pictures that I take all the time at various customer locations. Also of possible interest to some, it supports geotagging (via Skyhook Wireless http://www.eye.fi/services/geotagging/) and Wayport access points if you pay a little extra each year. Seeing how well it worked on Windows, I started googling for various f/oss tools that work with it and found the following http://sr71.net/projects/eyefi/ Some of the things this tool (apparently) does (haven't tried it yet): * Scan for wireless networks * Add, remove and test wireless networks (WPA-PSK with ASCII key and unsecured for now) * Reboot the card * List configured networks on the card * Fetch the card's unique key and MAC address Here is some cool config stuff you can do (not f/oss related, but interesting nonetheless if you're interesting in tweaking it) http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1177111 And here's a blog on getting the eye-fi working on Linux http://dave-hansen.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
