DSL Embedded :: acess to windows partition



hi,

I am running  dsl-embedded from a usb pendrive on my windows 2000 machine.

Is there a way i can mount my existing partitions and access them when running dsl-emebedded/qemu?

if not, what is the easiest way to transfer data to/from them?

This is my work machine so it is locked as i do not have admin password.
So adding window share or running a ftp server is not an option in fact.

You don't have a choice.

You must either run DSL natively or use some kind of network sharing like FTP or windows share.

Unless your computer is locked down in an unusual manner, you do not need to be an administrator in order to create a network share.

Here are the instructions on how to do it:

Of course, if you just need to transfer a few files from your embedded computer to your windows computer, you could sign up for a Yahoo! e-mail account.

Then log into this account (using a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox) and e-mail a message to yourself with your data files as an attachment.

Then re-log into your email account and save the attachment.

You should be able to (p)scp host <-> guest files by using the redir flag for qemu, look at putty's page

As a proof of concept of the -redir option, here's how I can access the monkey web server from windows:

The code I added was:
Code Sample
-redir tcp:5555::80


And then from internet Explorer: http://localhost:5555

Here's the screenshot for ssh with Mindterm Java Telnet:
