From time to time as I'm downloading a configuration file to the remote I have an explorer window pop up momentarily showing the drive letter assigned to the remote and the binary file that is being downloaded (or has been downloaded) to the remote. It's up on the screen long enough for me to attempt to copy and paste or look at the properties of the file, but the file is not accessible.

Hi everyone,

the thing is that the TSU9600 is running under the Linux OS. So it is not so easy to access to the box from a Windos xxx mashine. They are using on the TSU the Linux(Unix) filesystems: JFFS2 = Journaling Flash File System, CRAMFS, TMPFS, RAMFS, EXT2 and some others for the system. That is the reason they are doing an conversion if you upload your data to the TSU.

@etk
If you can see some files on the TSU you will need for opening these the win drivers in for that filesystem of that part of the flash partition that you are watching. IMHO there should be a (small) vfat patition they send the PEP files to and than they are expanded from there to another part of the flash to install.
I think the best way to hack the box is to mount all filesystems of the TSU to a Linux mashine.
I´m trying to do it in this way but until now just with few success.

Regards

Rainer
