On OpenMoko
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 6:52 pm
AndFTP runs fine on the Openmoko Freerunner running Android (I am using the Koolu beta-2 kernel and a current RootFS).
Some small enhancements:
- hide passwords for FTP access
- editing the server address after the first entry does not change the name of the server that appears in the drop-down box
- it would be better to have a separate activity (full-screen) to enter the server details as this makes editing a bit easier with the soft keyboard available on the Openmoko.
A further thing (maybe that is already possible?) would be to make the intent public, so that it could be used from other applications as a uploading solution. I think of e.g. a GPS application that uploads tracks to a server on a periodic basis. The GPS application would just call the intent with server/login details/filename set and the upload would happen behind the scenes....
Good stuff though, makes my Openmoko ever more usable running Android.
