If you want to sync with a device, where KO/Pi is installed, you can easily get the remote file via network with the build in file transfer feature "Pi-Sync": You have first to enable file transfer on the remote device: - Start KO/Pi on the remote device. - Choose Menu Synchronize-Enable Pi-Sync. - Choose a port number, where KO/Pi should listen for file sending requests. Valid port numbers are numbers between 1 and 65565. Do not specify port numbers, that are used by other applications. A port number between 9000 and 9999 is most likely not used by another application. The default port number is 9197 for KO/Pi. If you specify a port number, which is already in use, you will get an error message when closing this dialog. - Choose a password. - Click OK. Now KO/Pi will send the calendar data via the network, if some other device is sending a "please send calendar" request on the given port using the given password. If you want to be sure, nobody can access your calendar data, simply disable the file transfer feature on the remote device after the syncing is done by choosing: Menu Synchronize-Disable Pi-Sync. - + + Note: If you want to sync with a remote device that gets different + IPaddresses each time connected to the network + (this may be the case, if you use DHCP for connection + of the remote device to the network) simply enable + "Ask for preferences before sync". + Then you will be asked to confirm the + "Pi-Sync" specific settings + (Password,IP address, port number) + and you can easily change the IP address before each sync. + On your local device, create a new profile and choose profile kind "Pi-Sync". Fill in the needed values: - Password for remote access: The password you specified on the remote device. - Remote IP address: The IP address of the remote device. - Remote port number: The port number you specified on the remote device. Now you can syncronize your local device easily with your remote device. This works well for all platforms KO/Pi is running on, e.g. syncing a KO/Pi on Zaurus with KO/Pi on Windows is now very easy. c) Remote file Syncing with the profile kind "Remote file" is performed in three steps: i) download the remote file to your local machine to a temp file ii) sync with this temp file iii) upload the synced file to the remote device The down-/uploading if i) and iii) is done via a command line command. Please specify the download/upload command ( like scp, ftp, ...) and the file name of the temp file in the corresponding fields. |
