I have a MMU linux up and running but I can't seem to figure out how to configure file transfer correctly. I just want to move a file off the board to my dev station but I can't seem to make FTP or SCP work.
Anybody have a step by step recipe for setting up file transfer? Thanks DavidLink Copied

I think make the FTP working should be easy.
Did you try busybox? busy box has FTP server in it. Also, you should be able to enable the SSH as well. SSH was a bit tricky to make it enabled for me on the older kernel. It requires to have certain named folder in the /etc default or something like that. Anyway, the last option could be, if you have, you can write the data out to SD card or CFI flash.- Mark as New

I had everything clocked so slow while I was figuring out Ethernet that the connections were timing out. Partitioned the design and adjusted the clocks and now everything works with FTP.

Hello,
I am trying to make file transfers to a custom board which runs an MMU version of uClinux. I have tried both SCP (dropbear) and FTP, this last in various flavours (ftpget and ftpput or installing the fptd server and using a client on the pc). Inetd manages connections to servers. The link between the board and the PC is an RS-232 uart; the PPP between the two guys (board and PC) is alive: I can ping, I can telnet, I can connect using SSH. I can copy files from the PC to the board, even the copy of large files (some MB) takes minutes (like in the ancient 56k internet times). I fail at copying the data from the board to the PC. In particular, with FTP the connection throughput falls down and to copy some MB it takes hours. As side notes : 1) I am doing this with a custom uart component in the SOPC Builder beacuse with the Altera serial I noticed a lot of packet loss while pinging. This one does not lose packets. 2) The Nios2 (with MMU) processor runs at 80 MHz and executes from external DDR2 ram clocked at 160 MHz. 3) The git log for uClinux dist is dated Wed Mar 2 11:19:01 2011 4) The git log for linux-2.6 is dated Tue Sep 21 11:29:37 Any suggestions? If you need some more info, ask please. Regards, Gabriele- Mark as New

Hello,
to exclude there are problems on the PC serial, I have tried to connect two boards. The connection works but the exchange of files stall. While trying to exchange files it is impossible to telnet into a board: the PC side telnet stalls, if I try to make a telnet in the "two boards configuration" I get "telnet: can't connect to remote host (192.168.0.99): Connection timed out" Seems that someone is overwhelmed by stuff to do...- Mark as New

Has anyone recently used with satisfaction fpt? Which system frequency?
Anyway, seems strange this is a clocking prolems because the transfer from the board works well.
