a humble thought.

can we move this thread to "General TC Talk" and make it a sticky(pinned to stay visible at the top)?

as always, huge kudos to everyone here for making this community(and TCL) such a pleasure to enjoy!

also i concur with @GNUser rant in reply number 32:

Hi patrikg,

Thanks again for the help, I've had a bit of a breakthrough!

I was able to get a WinXP executable called "PSCP.exe" (which I think is based on, or uses PUTTY behind the scenes) to work, just had to create the ssh config files ahead of time, start up openssh on TC 3.8.4, with a copy of "PSCP.exe" in a directory on an external hard drive, can type the usual;

Code: [Select]

pscp tc@172.16.1.98:/home/tc/data/* .

To copy the contents of the data folder on the CF card into the directory from which the PSCP.exe command was executed, somehow the PSCP.exe program deals with the
key issue, just allows me to accept the key from TC, and can continue on.

I got this "PSCP.exe" executable with a BeagleBone Black based data acqusition system, which is used to transfer data to/from the BBB.

With that, I was getting about 5-7 MB/sec over the 100 MBit ethernet port (onto an NTFS formatted external HD), but I noticed my "go-to" 64 GB FAT32 formatted pen drive was still stuck at around 1 MB/sec, which is also what I was getting with it when it was connected to the VortexDX3 USB ports as well, so that pen drive itself seemed to be the issue actually.

So, I tried some other pen drives connected direct to the USB 2.0 ports on the VortexDX3 and my goodness, what a difference!, can't believe it!, my 4 GB Cactus pen drive (ext4) was seeing almost 40 MB/sec and another mini 128 GB FAT32 formatted pen drive was getting 20 MB/sec!!, wow.

So all my problems with slow data transfers before was just due to using a low quality pen drive it seems!, wow, never expected that there could be such a difference.

Now that I know that the USB2.0 ports can indeed work pretty fast as long as you have a decent pen drive, this takes the heat off scp, etc., but at least I do have a viable "plan-B" with the WinXP laptop running "PSCP.exe" to transfer data onto an external HD, that works pretty well too but is a bit slower at 5 MB/sec.

Thanks again for the help,

David

Hi patrikg,

Thanks for the help, I looked at both config files and made some changes in them to try remove password checking and even RSA Key authentication but it didn't work, and I may have made things worse now because since I started up a fresh session of openssh, new keys were generated and now I can't even get as far as a password request with my scp attempt, my ASUS EEE bails out immediately now since the keys are different (I think), yet I didn't copy any keys over to the ASUS on the first attempt either, so I'm confused....

I guess I need to start openssh on my TinyCore, generate new keys, and then copy the public key to my ASUS EEE (into /home/user/ssh/known_hosts) and then ssh might work?, assuming I have the correct password for user tc.

And then on my TC box, I could copy the keys into a directory on /home/tc (persistent) and can then after powering up, can copy the keys stored in /home/tc into /usr/local/etc/ssh every time so that the keys stay the same?

I just want to be able to transfer data files over ethernet with scp, but I wonder if there might be other simpler ways, like with ftp or wget even?

Thanks,

David

TC16 runs well on eeepc 900AX. I've upgraded to SSD, but still original 1GB Ram. No issues.

You should of course look at the server config sshd_config file. Not the client config (ssh_config).

Thanks for all your help


evidently , it's clear to me that i sometimes just get mental blocks with computing.

So i quikly discovered tonight that the mentioned FLAG we talk of is indeed available on the latest regular Firefox build on ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS.........including MS win 10 etc

i still intend to also set it to TRUE in TCL 64 bit

typing ---------about:config  ( into Firefox address bar)  and accept the terms then search for

------->  dom.ipc.forkserver.enable  -----------------AND SET IT TO "true"

done

thanks a lot

Raspberry Pi / Re: piCore TouchScreen Not Working Properly

« Last post by Paul_123 on February 25, 2026, 07:58:44 PM »

This touchscreen is notorious for having poor USB configuration data.  I have seen some that work with X OOTB, and some that don't.

This screen is a multitouch screen, and requries a different driver.  Try loading the kernel module  "hid_multitouch"

Do this in /opt/bootlocal.sh before you try to do anything with Xorg.
