FTP9500 - FTP server for the Nokia 9500 Communicator
====================================================

Andreas Garzotto, 2004-12-16

WHAT IS IT

The Nokia 9500 supports wireless LAN, so theoretically, it can easily
be connected to a local network and files can be sent to and from
the device to other machines in the network. But there is no built-in
support for transfering files over a TCP/IP network (apart from being
able to download files to the Communicator using the browser). So I
was looking for a FTP server that runs on the Communicator. I found
jftpd 0.3 by Ryan Heise (see 
http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~rheise/projects/jftpd/), which required
only a few changes to make it work on the Communicator. 

WHERE TO GET THE LATEST VERSION

You can find the latest version at http://www.garzotto.ch/9500.html

HOW TO INSTALL

You can install it on the Nokia 9500 Communicator by either opening
ftp.jar with the "Nokia PC Suite/Application Installer" on a PC or by
copying ftp.jar to the Communicator, e.g. by means of BlueTooth, and opening
it in the file manager. This will start the application installer. 

HOW TO UNINSTALL

On the Communicator, you can uninstall it in the system settings.

FEATURES

* Copy files to and from the Communicator from any other machines
* Works with Windows without any additional software
  (Windows Explorer can open an URL such as ftp://192.168.1.2
   and access the data almost as if on the local machine)
* Works with the Finder under OS X (Connect to server)
* Works with most FTP-Client programs


LIMITATIONS
* own IP address cannot be determined on the Communicator (Java limitation)
  (I hope to find a workaround for this in a future release)
* Sometimes, it slows down the Communicator awfully (don't know why yet)

LICENSE

jftpd 0.3 is under GPL, so ftp9500 must also be under GPL. For details, see
