[coldsync-hackers] vfs-console

[Alessandro Zummo <azummo-coldsync3 at towertech dot it>]

 Hello guys,

    I've just added a new conduit to the CVS. It's called vfs-console
 and we are using it to perform some maintenance functions on SD cards.

  It's quite small and simple, but i thought it would have been useful
 to share it with others.

  Its usage is very simple. Add it to the conduit chain in your .coldsyncrc
 file (type: none;) and begin an hotsync process.

  When you read the

vfs-console: awaiting connection...

  on the coldsync's stdout, connect to the conduit with

 telnet localhost 12345
or
 nc localhost 12345)

  and write 'help' to get some help (doh!).

 
Your output will look like this:
