How to copy an image from your PC to the Dreambox via Telnet
First of all, you need to have a mounted directory from your PC. Make sure you have the image.img file in your mounted directory on your PC. Telnet to the dreambox and paste this command:
cp /hdd/movie/image.img /tmp/image.img
The img will be copied from your mounted directory to the /tmp folder on the dreambox ready to be flashed. Good Luck! If you have any questions, please visit our Dreambox Forum.
