Transfer files via Minicom or by LAN - Angstrom

[Hurdy]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to transfer files to my Beagleboard from my computer
via the Minicom?
I won't be transferring large files, just little C compiled programs.
If so how would I go about doing it?

Or is there a simpler way to network up my computer to the beagleboard
and share a folder?
If so, how would I do this? I'm quite a Linux newbie, so any advice
possible would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,

Rob

zmodem/xmodem?

Ok well I've found that there is a minicom file transfer.

In minicom I select CTRL-A then Z. This brings up a menu and I
select "S" for File Transfer. I get the option for zmodem, xmodem,
ymodem, kermit and ascii.

I've tried sending a binary file using all of the options. Which is
the best one to use?
I try to send a binary file using one of the above, the file shows up
in the file list, but I can't seem to locate where it has been
transfered to. Is there a default location?

zmodem, usually is the best option. But you need to install zmodem
also on the beagleboard. You should have a lrzsz package on it.

Once installed, you should run it on the bb just before sending the
file.

ie:

run it:

$ rz

and then send the file using minicom. Probably you need it installed
also on your pc.

Hope it help

Hello Rob,

I think you can better setup nfs between your host computer and the beagleboard using the usb network. Beagleboard has usb net.

you configure it on  your beagle board using

ifconfig usb0 {ip addr} netmask {netmask id}

similar way after connecting the usb with the host you configure usb net on the host using the same command and keep the ip address of the same subnet.

then you can follow the standard procedure of shaing your one of the folder from host machine with nfs.

you have to keep the entry in /etc/exports folder of your host machine to do the nfs and on beagle board you have to use this command

mount -t nfs ipaddr of host:{the path of the folder to be share}  {the path of the folder where you want  to mount on beagle board}   -o tcp,nolock


I hope this helps
