Here's how I do it on my Vortexbox running Fedora - don't know if this will be the same for your box. (And I'm no Linux expert, I've just stretched my DOS knowledge far enough to get by...) 1 - I have a shared directory on the Vortexbox that I can access via an SMB share. I drag and drop the plugin.pm file from my MacBook to this directory. Next, I have to get it into the correct directory for SuperDateTime to use it. 2 - I use MacBook's built in Terminal program to SSH into my Vortexbox. (I'm sure there is something equivalent for Windows that is a text based Terminal program.) I do this by typing: Code: -------------------- ssh r...@192.168.1.xxx -------------------- Obviously you need to change that to the IP address of your box and whatever user name has write privileges. I use root, but that's sloppy practice. At this point, I'm logged into the Linux box and am controlling it via command line. 4 - Copy the file to the correct location. In Linux, -cp- is similar to the DOS -copy- command. In this case, the SMB share I drag-and-dropped to is the directory -/storage - Code: -------------------- cp /storage/Plugin.pm /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SuperDateTime/lib/Plugins/SuperDateTime/Plugin.pm -------------------- Note that Linux is case sensitive, whereas DOS is not. Other useful Linux commands and their DOS equivalent that may help you navigate around: Linux : DOS ls : dir cd : cd cp : copy If someone knows of an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear it. This process has always seemed annoying to me. Good luck! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14327 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
