SSH Connection Questions (navigating and saving)

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hello again guys, two more total noob questions here!

I uploaded a whole bunch of roms to the /Roms folder though a Mac and got all those pesky files that start with a “._” I looked on a previous thread about deleting them with a command via SSH. So I managed to connect to my LAKKA box via SSH, but when I try to navigate to /storage/roms it says “Permission Denied.” Any ideas on why that is? I’m trying to navigate there and run the rm ._*to get rid of all those files.

Second question is about configuring a joypad. I read the tutorial on the website but I’m stuck. I managed to create the .cfg file and open it from the joyconfigs folder with “nano joyconfigs/ibuffalo1.cfg”

So when I add the two vendor id and product id lines at the end of the text, how do I save it and exit? I can’t figure that out… and also after I save and exit that cfg file, how do I “change the retroarch setting joypad_autoconfig_dir to /storage/joyconfigs.”

This is my first time ever working with a terminal like this so sorry if this is really easy stuff. Thanks for all your help guys!

you can save+exit from nano by hitting ctrl+x on your keyboard. It’ll ask you to confirm the filename, so hit ‘y’ and then ‘enter’.

You can change joypad autoconfig directory either by editing your retroarch.cfg file or by going into RetroArch and going to settings > paths settings (very recently renamed to ‘directory settings’; might be labeled either way depending on when your system was compiled) and changing it there.

Awesome! Worked like a charm! Thanks so much and thanks to all the devs working on this :slight_smile:

Hi guys! There’s a way to connect lakka within Filezilla client?

Anywhere there’s ssh access, you should be able to use sftp. So, in this case, for the server address, put sftp://192.168.. and then put the username/password that you would normally use for ssh.
