[General Topics] S0AndS0:
I'll have to check that, though, I'm thinking that wireless ADB is how I got an ftp service to run (many a year ago) over the data instead of wifi but I've not really played with it as this opens up the world to the device and I didn't at that point know how to configure things in a more secure fashion. Wireless ADB option is found on CM 9+ under the normal settings menu, think It's under development options or security option, I'll have to check.

Well you're doing better than I :) last I played with iptables I had to re-flash my device because though I'm good with tech sometimes I make a mistake or typo and things get hairy... If the error messages are talking about permissions and yet it's still taking the edits, then perhaps your device has something like S-On/S-off that is still effecting things (my HTC device has this feature and it causes odd errors that say one thing wile the system happily accepts what I told it to do) . So when setting things up and I want to tell something to use tcp in the iptables command I should use the number 6 instead of the acronym in the command? Just making sure I'm getting ya.

Oh one other thing to look into "tun.ko" it appears to be a requirement of many networking apps that give the user some remote control over their device.

and I saw ya...

I think that might be different "nic"s I've had this problem on my devices too, and it causes no shortage of head scratching on my end. I've tried to have people hack in (with permission) to a device sitting behind this and even when I provide all the IP's and related info such as DNS too they where not able to do anything but toast my battery and heat up the phone... I think perhaps we'll have to go to a service like no-ip but that's a last resort, still going to try the other options before that.

Update 08242013 12pm myTime- so I was running into errors with the "groupadd" command then though; perhaps "adduser" had an option for adding groups and ran into errors again :confused: then realized that I was logged in not as root on Linux :p moral of the story? None just updating you that I can be dumb sometimes ... the script parts are working fine now, I'll be setting up and testing and eventually adding your contribution to the "all in one" mod script for ARM Linux I've been working on (think page 11 or 12 has a link to it) I'll have to add checks for root but it should be great when we get the last bit figured out.

Update 4pm- almost caught up. Do I need a domain name or should an IP suffice for testing across cellular network?

Edit: oh and have I posted this link about Android IP tables and wifi? Looks like a working example that could be edited...

Update 8pm- the "./install" part has been chugging away for some time now. Hope it finishes soon, sorry, the internet I have is a bit slow over here. In the mean time I've been reading up some more and have a few links to share

I've also been looking into "channel bonding" too as this may have some related work on making connections to Android from the general internet

SwiFTP FTP Server looks to be one that has solved this by using a proxy (again) and FTPdroid looks to have the most thing open for messing around with so I maybe checking out the source if it's available and see what they did to make things work...
