is it possible to install a ssh app on the nvidia, if its rooted
so i can access remotely via macbook to transfer / copy files?
I would suggest sideloading SSHDroid, which can operate in root and non-root (ports above 1024). You'll possibly (i.e. definitely) have to fiddle round with mouse and/or keyboard to get it to work the way you want though. Oddly the unlocker 'key' app wouldn't side load for me, so I don't get the unlocked benefits (and yes, I've paid for the unlocker).

ah is there any non keyboard mouse method - or app? i want to basically access the files to transfer into the android folder / obb etc
and connect from a mac computer

Developers, do NOT get EasyTether! EasyTether allows your 3G connection to be shared to your computer via the USB Cable.
HOWEVER, when you install the computer-side client of EasyTether, it saves a file that tells the computer to automatically mount the phone as a network spot when it is plugged in. This means adb won't find it (since it's not mounted as a device), and this means DDMS and "Eclipse Run on Device" won't work either. EasyTether is a great app, but developers shouldn't get it if you test apps on your device.
P.S. I learned this the hard way. It involved deleting system files and logging in as root on my Mac, as well as a few terminal commands.
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.
Given the MTP limitation on the GT 7.7, the only "stock" way to get data onto the Tab is via Kies.
A much more elegant solution is to install "Samba Filesharing" (free app on Android Market) which turns the GT 7.7 into a full SMB server that you can mount -- I did so with my MacBook Air. You can then copy files across via WiFi (no USB cable!).
You may need to perform the SD card hack listed elsewhere in this forum to write to the SD card when it's mounted (even via SMB)...I didn't have any luck until I did that.
Of course there are other alternatives such as Dropbox (or my fave Sugarsync) but these require a sync to the cloud and then a download, which both eat into your broadband data (caps) if you're worried about such things.
Just thought I would share!
Why not use AirDroid? Imo the best tool out there. And you can manage SMS, contacts,... everything too with it!
^ I tried AD and don't like the web interface. The nice thing about Samba is that it's integrated into the Finder so you can use the native file copy tools. Makes batch copying a breeze.
Thanks for this info, I always assumed that the Tab7.7 also had the debug mode where I can just plug it in like the Galaxy phones, any links to that mounting options for the Sd card?
adb push anyone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unfortunately not. MTP mode only. If you are on Windows, you can still use explorer to copy, but on Macs you must use Kies...which is why Samba is a better option for me.
Id prefer a file copy over wireless so I need to know how to use that Samba thing..
ES file manager allows you to administer files from the tab and access network shares including streaming 1080p mkv files. Pretty nifty, but doesn't mount the tab.
What's the speed of "Samba Filesharing" ?
I use DooBlou Wifi file explorer (was one of Amazon.com's free apps of the day) to dump files from my Mac to the Tab. You have to be rooted to write to the external SD card, as with other non-bundled apps, however.
adb push
adb wifi
webkey
ES File Explorer
What would I need to get done to my spanking new shield to be able to use passwordless login to a linux fileserver and then use sshfs?
Basically I want to use a startup script that mounts up the sshfs which in turn will be used in Kodi.
Do I need to root it? Custom rom needed?
-Ossi
Nobody? Doesn't look good then I guess, can't even find an sshfs client thats compatible with the shield.
Ultimate Server has an SSHFS server built in. It's a pay app and you might have to sideload it. I'm not sure how you'd create keys for passwordless access on Android/Shield.
Have you tried

I know that OnePlus does not allow ADB over network and requires a connection under normal circumstances. I know this may sound stupid. I'm new, learning and trying to find different ways to do things. I've recently enabled my ADB via Magisk and installed Termux on my OP6T. Am I able to connect to my Amazon Fire device via Termux and WAN? Both devices will be connected to the same network. I plan to try with this later and am just researching. I've downloaded the APKs that I plan to push and want to see if I can accomplish it via my phone.
I've also noticed that Termux is in a hidden folder in the Internal Storage as I was trying to locate the folder to move the APKs there.
Sorry for wasting time, there apparently are apps that already do that more easily than utilizing this method.
