Display Remaining Space on Flashcard..

ArjanDotOrg · July 15, 2007, 10:45:48 AM

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me if there's a homebrew tool to display the remaining space on a flashcard?

I'm using Lilou Box (http://blog.dev-scene.com/lilou) for remote file acces through FTP. This is the best tool ever imho: I never have to remove my MicroSD from my SCLite anymore to put files/folders on the card.

The only thing I need right now is a program to display how much space there is left on the card.
That would be nice.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Kind regards,

Arjan

FileZilla..

b.t.w. The site of the Lilou ftp server seems to have been deleted. Is it moved?

I tried to run "df" on dslinux but it crashed.

Works fine for me. Strange that it crashes for you. It showed me that I had 83% space remaining on filesystem "DLDI1" which is pretty much accurate.

As far as I can see, Lilou is on a holiday, and took his site offline for the time.

DSFTP is a great utility, but the new v0.8 of Lilou FTP is way better in my opinion, the server runs very stable (I have other experiences with DSFTP) and offers a lot more options.
There's even a FTP and HTTP client! Could be usefull to transfer files directly from one DS to another.

I also put DSLinux on my card, and with the command 'df' I can see exactly how much space there is in use, and how much there's free.
It also displays it in bytes, so my problem is

hereby solved.

Thank you all for helping me out!

Kind regards,

Arjan

I'm running an old version though. I should upgrade and see if it's fixed.

Edit: Got the latest version of dslinux and it works fine now.
