how to: camera wireless sync

hello, i recently bought a sandisk "eye-fi" card for my camera
SanDisk_EyeFi_front_4GB_Preview.jpg


the bundled software worked well out of a box but the use of a cloud for transfer the camera photo to the pc looked very bad to me, and use more then a pc was really impossibile without many useless steps

so:
little research on the web and now is enough to turn on the camera @home , wait few time for have the photos on the vu+ without press any key , just turning on the camera!
the transfered images are tagged as transferred on the sd so they are transfered just one time
and works very well


what's needed:
starting from this package h**p://code.google.com/p/eyefiserver/
after a little repacking i obtained the attached file
install it on the vu+ as usual

configure with the pc as usual the sd for your wireless network with the win/osx bundled software
and disable the auto connection mode from the pc software (is a bad idea have more then 1 eyefiserver...)

now you need to add the "pairing code" in the /etc/eyefolder.conf: open it and read howto, is really simple
as well the /etc/eyefolder.conf contained in the attachment have the destination path , by default is /hdd/eyefiserver/year/date , obv you can change it if you like

for debug and before start it as startup service you can invoke with a telent session this command:
Code: 
/usr/bin/eyefiserver.py /etc/eyefiserver.conf /tmp/eyefiserver.log
and read what's happen

if all goes fine
for enable the autostart of the service green-blue then eyefiserver_enable then reboot
for disable eyefiserver_disable then reboot

how to use it: take some shots where you want and @home turn on the camera
wait some time, and after you have all the photos cloned on the box so you can view they by the remote on tv, or store in a pc they without any cable :)
you can use your eye-fi card with a simple ftp protocol using the vu+ as eyefiserver
ps: my camera report with an icon if the photo showed in the camera display is already trasmitted to the server or not

maybe this info can be usefull for someone
regards

thx to angelofsky for some tips ;)

unlucky with the 1.7.4 the automatic sync doesn't work :( i need it :D

trying to execute it the box answer with:
Code: 
root@bm750:~# /usr/bin/eyefiserver.py /etc/eyefiserver.conf /tmp/eyefiserver.log
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/eyefiserver.py", line 35, in <module>
import tarfile
ImportError: No module named tarfile

is it possible to add the py module "tarfile"? what's the right way?

Look into Software manager if the python module is avaiable for download ;)
