Does anyone now how I can access the internal storage of my transformer through Ubuntu? I have the transformer connected via USB but it does not auto-mount or appear to be recognised as a storage disk
thanks for any help
I'm using SSHDroid and usb tethering when tablet is connected, find out the tablet ip, then you can use the ubuntu built-in "Connect To Server" via ssh.

Would you be able to explain the method you use a bit more thoroughly? I too am having frustrating problems getting my transformer mounted under Linux, and am sick of transferring everything via SD card
I tried over SSH, but Android automatically refuses connection. And why do we need to have it tethered via usb to SSH?
The transformer acts as an MTP device. I had some issues with it appearing properly in Ubuntu 10.04, but I believe is because I did something wrong. I have it all working now and mounted as /media/transformer - but I am also running 11.04 now.
This has been asked on the forum before and this answer assisted me in solving it[Full thread].
You also have some links in a different thread here.

What's your SSHD application? I recommend sshdroid, you search it in the market.
You needn't tethering if pc and android are in one lan (connected to same wifi for example). Getting android ip is the only purpose of tethering, you can run 'route' command in ubuntu to find out the gateway of usb0, which is the ip of android.
I use a combination of swiftp and droidsshd to access device from ubuntu. Works well. You might need to get the programs from code.google.com, as they are not in the market.
People... they aren't looking for an SSH application, they are looking to MOUNT THE DEVICE OVER USB.
You need to install either libmtp or mtpfs. On Arch Linux, libmtp is in the repos, while mtpfs is in AUR. I use mtpfs.
After getting mtpfs, all you need to do is: sudo mkdir /media/tf && mtpfs -o allow_other /media/tf.
I do it with ADB. adb push and and pull does the job easily, unless you've a ton of different files you want to place in different places.
Using gnomad2 from repo @ Fedora 15 Gnome3
since there is no flashy mtpfs for my distro :/

Hi, i was wondering how to connect the android with an ssh client so i can access my tablet from my laptop.
Using the search tool on the Android MArket is hard.

adb wireless...its in the market and works very well.
I was having issues getting my A500 to connect to my mac as a mass storage device like it does on my W7 bootcamp. Either way here is a helpful program that will sync your rooted A500 to mac!

Do you mean actual sync like with Dropbox or just trasnfering files to and from?
I found the best way to transfer files between the A500 and Linux is to use Ghost Commander file manager and then a FTP server on the Mac or my case Linux. I can also access my NAS drive using it by making an FTP connection.
Ghost Commander is designed after Midnight Commander which was a file manager in the DOS days and is still available for Linux and runs from the terminal.
Ghost Commander is available on the Market @ https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ghostsq.commander&feature=search_result
There is also a plugin for SMB
Just transferring pictures/music/documents to and from. It doesnt do everything I wanted it to but works really well. I wish it would play my purchased movies and tv shows from iTunes though ...
I would really like for it to show up as a mass storage device so I could backup the files to my mac.. Right now this is what i have to do.
boot my mac into windows 7 - get the files - put them in a folder - drag and drop them to the bootcamp (dropbox) for my mac - reboot into mac grab the files and run time machine to backup all my data.
So, i'm not sure what the issue is, or if this has already been addressed.
I have my tablet and phone set up on a VPN using vpnCilla, that works.
I set up SMB through AntTek File Explorer on both devices, that works.
However! when attempting to access the SMB drive, it hangs, lags, or times out.
My coworker has the same setup on a Galaxy tab (stock) and able to access the network through the exact same method like butter.
Could this be an issue with how JB 4.1.2 handles data packets? (both my devices have 4.1.2 installed, rooted).
I've tried 4 other SMB compatible file managers, gives me the same result.
Hi, I have a rooted Hauwei U8800 running 2.3.5 with SSH Droid installed. I've connected from my Linux terminal over SSH and would like to issue commands, or run a script to have the device take pictures over a SSH session.
What options are available for me to do this? Easier is preferable
Thanks.
