PogoPlug

Hi all

I have a PogoPlug device installed on my home network. It’s great - I can see all my files on my external USB drive from any location.

However, I’d like to be able to use the desktop application software to (effectively) map my external drive to my filesystem. The instructions on the PogoPlug site only deal with Ubuntu, and I’m not confident about knowing enough about Linux to identify the commands in openSuse which achieve the same effect as the Ubuntu commands.

If anyone’s managed to install the desktop app, I’d love to learn how you did it.

Thanks a lot, guys and gals.:slight_smile:

It would help a lot if you provide links to the things you’re referring to, that would save a lot of searching that you have already done.

Of course - very remiss of me.

How To Install Pogoplug Drive Software on Ubuntu 9.04: Pogoplugged

This may be a round about way of doing it, (I tried to do it natively via Suse, but could not get it to work).

I have a Windows XP PC that is used to manage my CD collection which has access to Pogoplug using the normal Pogoplug app.

Once in this PC, I share the Pogoplug drives to the network, that way with Samba installed on my SUSE machines, I can connect directly to the drives connected to pogoplug. I just right click on the folder (That is the pogoplug drive) and select add to places, and I have access to the pogoplug drives.
