[EzShare SDcard wifi] Script to autodownload

[Crimson Nape]

A couple of posts back, I provided the wrong information. This is a Bash script and not Python. - Sorry!

To run a bash script from the command line, add a "./" ahead of the file name. You should try: ./copy.sh. Of course, you will need to be in the directory that this file resides.

@famewolf I had the same problem with the ez Share SSID not showing up.  I had the adapter connected to my PC with an SD to USB adapter.  As soon as I actually plugged it into my CPAP, the network showed up.  Why - I can only guess.  If I remember correctly, SD cards support 2 types of access - parallel (faster) and serial (used less pins).  I'm guessing the PC uses parallel, and the ezshare only supports serial.  Only a guess.

Trying to figure out why my folder isn't able to be imported into OSCAR.  
Steps taken:
1. Switched laptop to ez Share wifi.
2. run the shell script
3. Opened OSCAR and selecting the CPAP Importer and changed folder to the location of downloaded one.

Seeing this error message:

Code:

Chromebook file system detected, but no removable device found
You must share your SD card with Linux using the ChromeOS Files program

It confuses me as I have the OSCAR instance running in the linux development sandbox where the files are located.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Are you pointing to the contents in the directory or the directory name that contains the data?

in that one I have double clicked on the AirSense11-Data folder as you see the contents in there but even when selecting it the other way which would be the parent folder showing the actual directory AirSense11-Data it states the same error.

After reading your error message, it would appear that there needs to be an interpreter between the ChromeOS file structure and the Linux sandbox.

The linux sandbox can be seen in the linux files folder in ChromeOS Files but both reside (AirSense11-Data and OSCAR) within the sandbox.

I don't have a chromebook to test with, but 2 things come to mind:

1. I seem to recall something special had to be done with the Chromebook to get the Linux portion to recognize the external card properly.  Something along the lines of using ChromeOS file manager to allow/share the SD card with the Linux portion???   That line in the error message you quoted may hold the key.
   

Code:

You must share your SD card with Linux using the ChromeOS Files program

    2. As it currently sits, can you manually copy the files from the SD card to your Linux sandbox (copy/paste or drag/drop)???

Thanks for the response Jeff.

Within the chromebook you are correct when connecting a SD USB Adapter you can right click it to share with linux. This is how I was doing it manually without the EZ Share card being used. This would work with plugging in my Adapter and opening OSCAR and clicking on the Import. Would work successfully - it is just trying to read from this folder now created with the autodownload script that is casuing this. Hoping to not have to pull the card for data and just connect to it as others have.

Using the EZ Share card I have run the script to create that folder now and tried to select that folder as the Import location to read from which brought up that error message shown earlier.

Out of curiosity, are there any share options if you right-click on the folder holding the data? Can you access this folder while in Linux and not in OSCAR?
