Revision history [back]

Since it is very simple to enable developer mode and use ssh swiss as swiss army knife for everything, it seems to me as rather hard task to upload my media files to Sailfish X device without this. What I found so far:

• MTP - it is read only on my Debian (may be it is RW on Windows, havn't tested)
• ssh - possible in developer mode only
• CIFS - N/A
• USB Mass storage - N/A
• switch device OFF, remove SD, put it to PC, etc ... - last resort :)
