In the same way we added a Password to the BibleBox to secure the device itself (not the free content we want to share) I want to go through and enable FTP access so its easy for me or anyone using a BibleBox to upload new files for sharing.
FTP Access Setup
Once setup, the BibleBox can be accessed using a standard FTP app to upload, download, delete files from the Shared directory. You must be connected to the BibleBox wifi first.
- Turn on the BibleBox and connect to the wifi
- From you computer SSH into the Biblebox: (remembered your Password?)
ssh root@192.168.1.1
- Run the LibraryBox advance setup script (same as setting up Password)
box_init_setup.sh
- Select Option 3 –
3 - Start FTP configuration
- Youll see the menu appear below:
Choose an option: 3 ------------------------------------------------------ Current configuration: ------------------------------------------------------ FTP enabled : yes Admin access : yes Special SYNC access : yes SYNC Port : 54321 Anonymous login possible : no -- FTP Synchronisation active : no FTP Sync hostname : empty FTP Sync password : empty ------------------------------------------------------ 1 - Enable / Disable FTP 2 - Enable / Disable Admin Access 3 - Enable / Disable Sync Master 4 - Enable / Disable Anonymous Access 5 - Set password for Sync Master 6 - Set password for Admin Access 7 - Enable Sync Client 8 - Client host 9 - Client password Enter h and a number for help about the topic. For example, h8 for Client host help Every other button is a clean exit.
- When you make a selection it will enable/disable the options, so select option 1 to enable FTP
- Then select Option 6 to Set a Password for your FTP access
- Now to exit the menu press X (or any other button) and restart the BibleBox
- Connect to the BibleBox wifi, run your favourite FTP app using 192.168.1.1 and the password you selected with the username – “nobody”.
