help please

I am new to the ASUS forum. I have a wl500g connecting a linux based satellite reciever to my intranet which has 2 other simmilar receivers. I want to connect a non supported webcam to the AP and have found that I need to load and insmod a different module file. the troubkle is I am used to using FTP to transfer files and the AP don't seem to have a server attached to transfer to the file system.

How do I send a file to the router/AP which I can then run. This may seem a silly question but I don't seem to be able to find a quick answer on the forun - or I am looking for the wrong thing.

thanks in advance

First of all ... get Oleg's firmware running if you haven't already done so ..

A) you got a linux machine? telnet to your router, then use scp directly from router console, copy the file from your linux to (for example) /usr/local/, and and do:

echo "/usr/local/<insertFilenameHere" > /usr/local/.files

if u need to set modes with chmod do it NOW

flashfs save
flashfs commit
[flashfs enable] (only necessary if you didn't do this after last firmware upgrade, won't hurt if you do it to be sure)

After reboot your file should still be there. Do what you want with it.

B) use a USB storage device (harddisk, usb stick, memory card reader) and enable the FTP server in webinterface. From the usb device you could also save that file to the flash memory like described before (in case you dont want to let the device connected all time).

thanks for the post.
I am telneting in from a windows machine - but I can do as you say with a usb memory stick. Will do this and let you know how I get on.

Yes I am already running oleg's firmware the ASUS didn't do anything I wanted without it!
