Dear Walter,



It’s a pleasure to write you again, I’m Daniel Cerdas Mendez and I work for
Omar Dengo Foundation in San Jose, Costa Rica. We are developing a program
with several OLPC.  To improve our project with need to implement a
FTP-Server with our XO, we are looking for activity that connect  the OLPC
with our FTP-Server. Besides through the browser we can access to the FTP,
but we can’t upload files. The server is install in Windows Server 2008 R2
and the network is an open-wireless. We would appreciate all your help.



Thanks,

/usr/bin/ftp is included in OLPC OS 10.1.2 and can be used, at a pinch,
in Terminal.  It can be scripted.

If connectivity with Journal is required, there is greater complexity,
because Journal does not provide a filesystem view expected by
/usr/bin/ftp.  copy-from-journal might then be needed.

An alternative might be HTTP based file upload using PHP or other web
server scripting environments.  The Browse activity then offers a
Browse... button which opens an object chooser offering to upload from
Journal.

There's also curlftpfs package if you would like to be able to access an
ftp server from command line as if it is a filesystem.

I think GNOME also provides a graphical UI for access via FTP, but I've
not used it.
