No such tool, already packaged for the Kindle, has been posted that I can recall.

BUT
It may be possible because:

Kindles run Linux
Linux has the davfs2 file system driver that supports WebDav
Most "Cloud" services also support WebDav access

Here is how to setup and mount a WebDav "Cloud" into your file system tree on a Linux desktop:

Twobob and I have several private "Clouds" that we mount into our development machines.
I.E: A shared directory, even though we are 6 time zones apart.

We also **started** (but never finished) looking at porting the davfs2 file system to the very constrained memory resources of the Kindle (davfs2, as shipped, is a real memory hog).

That is one of our unfinished projects, way, way, way, way down on our to-do list (like in, maybe never).
So if someone else wants to take up the challenge . . . .

Why not use a cloud server that supports rsync? We are only talking about a bunch of ebooks. rsync is included in usbnet, a simple script could be launched from KUAL? I found this website with most/all? online backup servers: http://vivil.free.fr/backup.htm maybe find one? Just an idea...

Also: fuse/sshfs & co... Lots of possibilities ;-)

If ONLY dropbox would FINALLY listen and compile a linux arm version of that darn dropbox daemon!!!

Dunno any cloud services that use sshfs. Not the most common thing to do.

aditya3098 · 08-03-2013, 11:52 AM

root@kindle:/mnt/us# ./sshfs
./sshfs: relocation error: ./sshfs: symbol fuse_opt_insert_arg, version FUSE_2.6 not defined in file libfuse.so.2 with link time reference

Straight from wheezy

aditya3098 · 08-03-2013, 11:58 AM

root@kindle:/mnt/us# ./sshfs
missing host
see `./sshfs -h' for usage

This ones from squeeze

aditya3098 · 08-03-2013, 12:00 PM

But unfortunately:

Code:

root@kindle:/mnt/us/documents# ../sshfs aditya@192.168.1.2:/home/aditya/Desktop/test ./test

It just sits there, terminal freezes, no more ssh connections accepted.

you can also use this : Bittorrent sync

It's not cloud access but you can install it on every OS (so in servers too) and sync your files.

@aditya3098: Might be it expects an ssh client to actually handle the potential user interaction, and that USBNet only installs dbclient (so the ssh command doesn't actually exists).

Haven't checked, just throwing ideas around

. (I usually do this the other way around anyway: mount a part of the Kindle fs on a remote/local box).

Yeah, but I made ssh a symlink to the dbclient binary.
Didn't I see an openssh build somewhere?

NiLuJe · 08-04-2013, 11:57 AM

@aditya3098: I have one on hand (the server & sftp applet are in USBNet).

I'll check it out eventually...

That depends on what country a person lives in.
In the USA, that work is useless.
