# kobofileserver
Run it on Kobo device, then use browser to transfer file to device.

# Installation
01. Install NickelMenu, I use it to launch application.
02. Put KoboFileServer folder in /mnt/onboard/.adds
03. Modify NickelMenu config file.
```
menu_item :main :Force Wi-Fi On (toggle) :nickel_setting :toggle:force_wifi
menu_item :main :IP Address :cmd_output :500:/sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/awk '/inet addr/{print substr($2,6)}'
menu_item :main :KoboFileServer (toggle) :cmd_output :500:quiet :/usr/bin/pkill -f "^/mnt/onboard/.adds/KoboFileServer/kobofileserver"
chain_success:skip:3
chain_failure :cmd_spawn :/mnt/onboard/.adds/KoboFileServer/kobofileserver
chain_failure :dbg_toast :Error starting KoboFileServer
chain_always:skip:-1
chain_success :dbg_toast :Stopped KoboFileServer
```
04. Adjust your sleep settings of device for transfering large file. The processing speed is 0.52MB/second on Kobo Elipsa when I use HyRead Gaze Pocket to uploading file. If you use cell phone, I think the speed is better.

# How to use it
01. Click "Force Wi-Fi On (toggle)" of NickelMenu.
02. Turn-on Wi-Fi of device.
03. Click "KoboFileServer (toggle)" of NickelMenu.
04. Click "IP Address" of NickelMenu to get your device IP.
05. Open browser on any device, then type "http://IP/".
06. Select a file.
07. Click "Click to upload file" to upload file.
