Boxee Box and linux

[alexgondim]

Hi there,

I have connected my Boxee Box in my home network where I have a microPC with linux and a PC with Windows 7. This microPC is my server were I do my downloads and I access it by a SSH terminal.

I was wondering if there is any way to access my Boxee Box through this Linux terminal so I could transfer the file from the server to de Boxee Box remotely.

I think you could mount the shares and get access that way.

Are you wanting to actually transfer (move/copy) the files from Linux to the Boxee Box (that has a USB drive) or are you just wanting to access (e.g. watch the video files) on the Linux system from the Boxee Box?

If the latter, then fredrogers is right -- just share the folders on the Linxu box via SMB or NFS and you can access them from the Boxee Box.

I actually want to move/copy the files from the server to the boxee só I copy have more espace in my server

You can enable Windows File Sharing on the Boxee Box (Settings>>Network>>Servers) but you need to have a Samba client (SMB) set up on the Linux box and be able to set the workgroup on the Linux to WORKGROUP (I think you'll need that, maybe not).

And how can I see my Boxee from the Linux?

any ssh or sftp so I could send my files over the network?

[darcilicious]

No you don't use ssh or sftp to access the box, you use SMB, a network protocol used for filesharing.

You will need to install SMB (client) on your Linux system. You then use smb to mount the USB drive on the Box, and then you will "see" the drive on your Linux system just like you would see any other mounted/networked drive.

Do some Googling and/or ask for assistance in a forum specific to your brand of Linux.

this works for me but remember, you need an external harddrive hooked up to the boxee via usb.

mount -t cifs /ipoftheboxeebox/nameoftheharddriveconnectedtoboxee MOUNTPOINT -o user=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD
