ifp - access iRiver iFP audio devices
ifp command [arguments ...]
ifp lets you manage your music on an iRiver iFP music
player acting in "Manager Mode". If your player is using "UMS
Mode", then you don't need this program; it will appear as new drive
when you plug it in.
This manual page documents the version of ifp included as
an example application for the libifp library. The interface is intended to
mimic the ifp binary found in the ifp-line binary package.
ifp can upload or download files or directories, delete or
make directories on the device, format the device, or upgrade your
firmware.
- ls [directory]
- List the files and directories on the device. The root directory is /.
Directories are preceded with 'd' and other files with 'f'.
- df
- Display total and free space on the device.
- upload localfile
remotefile
- Copy the file named localfile to the iFP device, and name it
remotefile. (This is like cp.)
- upload
localfile remotedir
- Copy the file named localfile to the iFP device, into
remotedir. (This is like cp.)
- upload
localdir remotedir
- Copy the entire directory localdir to the device, into
remotedir. This copies into a subdirectory, so upload foo /
puts files from the directory foo info /foo on the device.
(This is like cp -R.) This uploads the entire directory, not just
audio files.
- put localfile |
localdir
- Upload the file or directory to the device, with the same name it has
locally. If a directory is given, it is put in /.
- download
remotefile localfile
- download
remotefile localdir
- download
remotedir localdir
- Like upload, but copies from the iFP device to your system. Some
proprietary file types may not be downloaded.
- get remotefile |
remotedir
- Like put, but copies files or directories from the device to your
current working directory.
- rm [-r] file
- Delete (recursively) a file (or directory) on the device.
- rmdir
dir
- Delete an empty directory on the device.
- mkdir
dir
- Create a directory on the device.
- battery
- Display battery status of the device.
- typestring
- Display the model number of the device.
- firmversion
- Display the firmware revision currently on the device.
- format
- Reformat the device's memory. This will delete all your music.
- firmupdate FIRMWARE.HEX
- Upload the file FIRMWARE.HEX as new firmware for the device. This
will not delete your music, but may have many other detrimental effects.
Don't turn the device off or unplug it while the firmware is updating, and
don't attempt to upload new firmware with a low battery.
