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 [email protected]
--------------------
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!
