Is it possible to allow ftp to use the free space in micro memory card?

Now is using another space and reaches full with more or less 35Mb.

It is possible to use USB flashdisk to extend your ftp accessible space.

How?

There is  new application note going to be released, which describes the procedure more in detail.

The release will be soon. So keep checking updates on this forum.

Here is a small hint from the upcomming application note:

1. Format your flash drive in NTFS – in “My computer” by right click and format
2. Update USB start up script to:

-- create usb mount directory

• os.execute('mkdir -p /mnt/usb')

-- find first matching usb storage device

dev = io.readproc('ls /dev/sd*1 2>/dev/null'😞match('/dev/sd%l1')

-- found it, mount

if dev then

    os.execute('mount '.. dev ..' /mnt/usb')

    os.execute('mkdir -p /home/ftp/usb')

    os.execute('mount /mnt/usb /home/ftp/usb')

  os.execute('chown ftp:ftp /home/ftp/usb')

    alert('[usb-mount] mounted %s', dev)

-- nothing found, local flash will be used

else

    alert('[usb-mount] no device found')

end

  3. Reboot homeLYnk

Now can be read/write to USB flash drive via FTP client.
