My interpretation of #23 is I think a misunderstanding of winSCP. When winSCP was recommended in place of Samba, @sheepie asked if it can be integrated as part of pcP. @Paul said SCP capabilities are their. You told him that winSCP runs on windows. You meant as an application. It should just work (I have never tried it). I think what got lost/is getting mixed up is file access (to maintain) is a separate subject from LMS file access (to play). I think that he does not want to run LMS on his PC, nor does he want to hook the HDD to his PC (either would require his PC being on to play his library). Which is understandable. What has gotten lost is the PC has to be on to access the files (maintenance, etc) either via Samba or WinSCP. You guys were responding to Samba issues with "try winSCP instead" Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116037 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
