Sync Files from HTC Magic (Android) to Ubuntu over WiFi

[abhiroopb]

I was wondering if anyone had found an app that could sync files wirelessly from the HTC Magic to a folder on my Ubuntu installation.

I would like this to be automatic (kind of like dropbox).

Any suggestions?

but no sir, i've not found anything of the sort. was looking for a friend's HTC also.

Wish I was that talented.

I did find this but not sure what to do with it!

Could a terminal/ssh app and scp work for it? I just want a dropbox application to be written for Android

I know dropbox would be very very useful.

[pwnst*r]

indeed it would

This works well for my HTC Hero. Doesn't do automatic sync, but it does allow wifi transferring of files/media/etc. Give it a shot and see if it works on your Magic:

Yes does work. The app is really cool. Very useful, thanks!

Is there anyway to add/remove files or browse the SDCard?

This seems more of a "media" app, as in to manage photos and music.

I am mainly looking for something with which I can send files to my phone with.

You're right it does not appear to do that. Sorry to lead you astray. I hadn't played with the app very much yet and assumed that it would do what it claims to do. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

If you find a better solution please let us know!
