File transfer with linux

Hi All,

      I am using mini2440 board with u boot and linux. I am able to load
linux perfectly and it works fine on the board. But i m running into one
new kind of problem. The problem is as follows:

I want to do kernel module programming. I have developed few modules on my
PC and I want to transfer them to the board which is running linux. Now I
tried following methods:

1. Using the mmc card.
2. Using the USB host port with help of USB HDD.

But in both the cases linux on mini2440 board is not able to read the files
on MMC card or USB HDD. 

Does anyone have any idea?

Are the u-boot environment variables set up for MMC transfer?

In minicom do a <printenv>

What kernel are you using?  What rootfs?

Hi,

       I think you got my question wrong. I followed the steps given here.

After following these steps I got linux running on my mini2440 board.

Now I want to transfer some files to the mini2440 from my linux box. what
to do now?

That particular kernel and/or rootfs does not automatically enable either
the MMC or USB.

The FriendlyArm distro has hotplug which gets the SDcard and USB going for
you "out of the box".

You need to read up about mounting these devices.  This distro at narnia
also uses <mdev>.  I gave up!

Why don't you simply use SFTP (the secure file transfer protocol of SSH)?
With it you can upload and download files over network e.g. by using the
konqueror under KDE (the address is then sftp://root@<IP address of
mini2440>). Then you don't even need to install a FTP server.
