Sure. There's no FTP server installed by default though. So either add one, or use SAMBA, or anything else you'd like. If you're coming from a windows box, there are tips for sharing via SAMBA on the Wiki. http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=UsingSambaHowTo And NFS: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=NFSHowTo |

BTW, you can mount these things over the network. For example, if you have a \videos file shared on a windows machine, you can mount it under \myth\video ex: root@mythtv:~# mount //mywindowsbox/video on /myth/video/windowsboxvideos type smbfs (rw) Here, I have my "video" share on the windows box mounted to an (otherwise) empty subdir under /myth/video Likewise, I've done the same with pictures and music. //s3/images on /myth/gallery/s3_images type smbfs (rw) //s3/music on /myth/music type smbfs (rw) Also, I've got other interesting mounts: //soyobren/ipodfeed on /myth/ipodfeed type smbfs (rw) This sends all of my Myth2Ipod stuff to my wife's HD. Now I don't have to worry about those ipod videos taking up my space. I also have a sub-dir under there, called backup, where I stick nightly backups. I figure backups are more helpful if they're not lost when the disk dies. And I have these: //vista1/sd on /myth/gallery/vista1/sd type smbfs (rw) //vista1/cf on /myth/gallery/vista1/cf type smbfs (rw) I can pop in a card on my PC, and they should (theoretically) show up in mythgallery. I'm using fstab to automount this stuff, but am going to write a simple script to umount/mount on demand. Why? If something isn't available during boot-up, it won't mount. And if I try to access something previously mounted that isn't there (like if my PC is off), the front-end will hang. |
