Transfer files from board to pc

This question is not answered

Hi,

I would like to know how would I transfer files from leopardboard DM365 to pc running ubuntu 10.04?

My entire file system is on sd card and I tried a video capture example with 5M camera. The file is on the sd card which I want to transfer to my pc. How would I do it?

I tired with scp but it doesnt work.

Thanks,

Maz

    I do not know if it is useful or not? But I have mounted the SD card as a USB mass storage device and by connecting the USB cable to the PC, it is detected automatically.

  • Hi Morteza,

    Thanks for the reply. Trying USB OTG is a good feature but right now I am learning to stream video over the network as well as record videos (which eventually get recorded on the sd card). So scp is required to transfer the video on the host.

    Anyways  i figured it out and it is working now.

    But the only problem I have is, I can transfer anything by typing scp commands on the board but I cannot do the same when I type scp commands on the linux machine. This is because it asks for the leopardboard password which I do not know because the leopardboard does not ask for any password on boot. Can anyone help me with this?

    Thanks,

    Can you post back how you solved the problem. It might be useful for other members too.

  • Hi Morteza,

    Well leopard board uses Dropbear ssh and I did not have that on my ubuntu host. So I installed dropbear and then ran the normal scp command (to transfer a file) on the terminal i.e. leopardboard serial prompt and it worked. The file was transferred.

    The only problem is I can transfer files typing the commands on the leopardboard serial. But when I try to communicate or transfer from the host machine, it asks for leopardboard password which I do not know because there is no password to it. Do you know how to add or find out the password on the leopardbaord.

    Thank you.
