Considered using adb to put your files on there? I've always done it that way, and it seems to me the much easier solution.
Thanks for that suggestion. I've tried adb and it works, it's annoying but it does the job.
I'd rather have FTP working so I can transfer files wirelessly, that means the Android device doesn't need to be attached to my computer and I don't need an extra cable. I was also disappointed to note that the speed reported by adb for file transfers is between 3.5 and 4.5MB/s which isn't much faster than the 2.5-3.5MB/s I get through wireless transfers, I guess that my SD card isn't capable of fast transfers.
Android is an example of how FOSS software isn't supposed to be.
What about a portable WiFi drive, then you can have 500GB or more, on tap? The only problem with a portable drive is that it /may/ take away normal WiFi access in favour of the drive and excluding the Internet (or even local network). Cheers A.
