[Apple TV2] - help with sftp access (using allway sync)
#1
Hi all,

Hoping somebody might have a magic bit of help here

I use Allway sync to back up various things on my network and I was hoping to use the program to keep my windows 7 thumbnails in sync with my ATV2s

Have been doing this with file zilla no problems but would be really handy to use Allway instead.

Basically I can get Allway to see the ATV using SFTP - enter user name "root" and password "alpine".

Strangley though it can only see 2 folders in root - Library and Media.

Now I think what it is doing is going straight to /private/var/root/ but even if I give Allway the full path of /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Thumbnails it still then thinks that there is nothing there.

Any SFTP or Allways genius's out there who can help me?

For anyone interested or with a similar problem I fixed this issue myself this morning

Allway defaults to the /private/var/root as I said but for full direct path to /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Thumbnails does not work

In order to get it to sync to your thumbs folder on ATV you need to use this path:

sftp://IPofATV/../../var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/Thumbnails
