can you view folders with that? Or do you need to know the filename? That may work (and then just bookmark it or whatever) ---

Na no directory browsing which kind of defeats the purpose. The more I use that music program the more I am going to want to browse the directory so I will let you know what I come across ---

lame :tdown: it would be cool if it saved it in a folder that the new mobile finder can see. Either that or use SSH but that would defeat the point ---

ya you can get the mobile terminal and do a “ls” in the folder and see the files but I see what you are saying and wish there was a way to browse and play downloaded files without having to go into the phone and get them off first. ---

> [@Dr.Stevil](#): > > no shit… how’d ya do it? safari plugin? Na, I have been working with the lighttpd web server and trying to get that configured right. Changing it to run as root only on the local interface so only your iphone can get to it. Just messing with permission issues now to test to see if clicking a .mp3 file will play it correctly. ---

how do you configure the phone to run as root? or are you viewing the contents of the phone via a server application tunneled through safari? ---

> [@Dr.Stevil](#): > > how do you configure the phone to run as root? or are you viewing the contents of the phone via a server application tunneled through safari? Well I am thinking it has to do with the browser running with nobody permissions and I am trying to browse a filesystem that is in the root group so I will be playing with that after lunch and tonight. ---

Na the issues I have are firmware related. I tested pure vanilla install of 2.0.2 and it sucks. I didnt see too many issues other than the slow contacts until I traveled. The NYC Subways, being in datacenters, and going from No Service/Service areas was just awful. That on top of the EDGE to 3G transition issues are known and being addressed in the new firmware with an algorythym. Ive just accepted the issues and now had fun with the jail break. My lock screen is pretty sweet too now that my gmail inbox shows up on it 🙂 ---
