Easy way to install apps (without pendrive) and Android FTP client.
Hi!

After enabling the SSH for the first time, you don't need to use a pendrive too install an APP, because you can do that from your FTP client.

Steps:
  1. Unzip the contents of the APP package.
  2. Move the entire folder into /Home/Apps/
  3. Reboot your SL and your APP will be on Home.

Doing that you'll have a "Loading", instead have to wait the system do for itself and I think it's pretty much easier than moving it for a stick, insert it, wait it for install, remove it, delete it...

I'm also using an Android APP called Fx Explorer (Paid) to move things inside the SL. It works perfectly and is much more practical to have an "on-hand-ftp-client" than needing to access my PC to do that.

Steps:
  1. Install the APP.
  2. Open "Network" option.
  3. Finger-click on the "+".
  4. Select SSH FTP Client.
  5. Configure as you did on Filezilla (IP, root, steamlink123)
  6. Set "Home/APPS" as Default Path to save you some time.
  7. Select to store the password and hit "OK".
  8. You'll be able to see your SL on FX.

There are others free options that will give you the same results, but it have some features (Dual folder view, native support for cloud, text editor) that have spoiled me.


It's all for the moment, I'll return when I have something else.

Bye!
