Access JFFS via samba or FTP?

[mightyoakbob]

Is this possible?

I've just had my first dabble with Jffs which worked fine but I had to use nano which I found as a Linux idiot to be truly awful.

I would dearly like to see and edit what is on there in something more familiar.

Can anyone advise?


Cheers,

Bob.

I use winSCP http://winscp.net/eng/index.php

Thanks but I don't understand.

That software seems to do FTP and sftp, does that mean you pull down files from the Jffs area? If so, what do you use for an address/username/password?

You need to enable SSH to use WinSCP.

You need to enable SSH to use WinSCP.

I do have ssh enabled and use putty for commands etc..

I'm afraid I still don't understand. Is there a way to see files on the Jffs , pull them into an understandable and familiar editor and save them back?

I'm grateful for people's answers but it does seem to be cryptic night. <smile>

Use WinSCP to open an SCP (not SFTP) connection to the router.

Login with the admin credentials, and a window will open showing two panes, the left pane will be a local windows directory, and the right pane will be the router.

Navigate to the /jffs/ directory in the right pane and simply double click a file to edit it.

You can drag a file from the right pane to the left to create a backup or recover a file if you break it!

Yes!

I understand.

Now I can have a go.

Thanks for the explanation.


Cheers,
