Using the iPAQ with the Ubuntu Linux System
- Place the iPAQ in the cradle and connect the cradle to
the AC power.
- Wait for the iPAQ to finish booting.
- Connect the USB cable from the cradle to the computer.
- Use scp in a console to copy files to the iPAQ:
scp sourcefile ipaq:destination
(Sourcefile is the file to be copied and destination
is the directory on the iPAQ in which you want it placed)
Troubleshooting
- If the connection to the iPAQ times out, unplug and replug
the USB cable.
- If you get an error about host key checking, try removing the
key from .ssh/known_hosts on the computer.
