Rookie question, how to transfer file from PC to Omega (Windows OS)
-
Hi all,
I am very new to openWRT and Linux in general. Recently I want to write a python program on my PC and transfer this .py file to my Omega. But I just don't know how exactly.
One possible way I can think of is to connect a thumbdrive to the expansion dock and use a command like cp to copy the file over.
Using the Console could be another way?I would like to know what you usually do to transfer the file over. For example, is it possible to transfer file while connecting the Omega through serial?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Simplest is to get yourself a copy of WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/index.php) and use it to connect to your Omega.
For the connection, set:- File Protocol: SCP
- Host name: Host name for your Omega (though you may need to just specify the IP address like I do - mine is 192.168.3.1)
- Port Number: 22
- User name and password will be root/onioneer (unless you have changed the password via Omega Console)
I assume that you are OK running things on your Omega via Terminal on your Omega. Though you can also use tools like PuTTY (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) or MobaXterm (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/) for access rather than always going through the Console on the browser.

Also, if you prefer, Filezilla (https://filezilla-project.org/) can also be used instead of WinSCP - I've used both but prefer and am more familiar with WinSCP

Hi @Kit-Bishop Thanks a lot for your help.
I have not tried Filezilla but just tried using WinSCP. Works like a charm!
I am using PuTTY for serial access as instructed by the Omega tutorial. Will definitely try out MobaXterm in a while!
Cheers!
