Transfer files from a device to PiRogue
If you want to retrieve files such as screenshots or log files from the device, you can start a file drop server allowing the user of the mobile device to upload files directly to your PiRogue. The mobile device must be connected to the isolated network of your PiRogue. To do so, run the following command on your PiRogue:
pirogue-file-drop -o [output folder]The command starts a temporary web server accessible from the isolated network only. On the mobile device, open the webpage or scan the QR code and select the files you want to transfer.
Press Enter to stop the server.
Once done, the output folder contains all the files and their metadata in [file name].metadata.json. The metadata files contain:
mimetype: the type of the file such as image or videomodification_date: the date of the last modification of the file before its transfermodification_timestamp: the timestamp of the last modification of the file before its transferoriginal_filename: the original name of the file before its transfer
ℹ️ Transfer files from a device to PiRogue
In this example, we store the files in the folder drop.
