Cant find file to add custom config on RPI
I am using Winscp and can connect to my RPI, but when I connect I can't find where the configs are to add my own. where would this be located?

Re: Cant find file to add custom config on RPI
Hi
As far as I recall the config directory is located at /root/.gimx/config/
Another way you can do it is install samba and edit the config file to add a share you can directly access via the ip/hostname of the rpi
[GiMX-Config]
path = /root/.gimx/config
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
force user = root
Then save file and restart the service

Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
path = /root/.gimx/config
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
force user = root
Then save file and restart the service
Code: Select all
sudo service smbd restart

when I open /root all I find is gimx_change_config.sh, Gimx_List_configs.sh and blink.py?

Re: Cant find file to add custom config on RPI
Look in these directories. Depending on your setup it should be the first one my setups normally use the root one as I use an android app to select and launch GIMX. The directory is hidden hence the . in front of the name so it has to be included.
/home/pi/.gimx/config/
/root/.gimx/config/
/home/pi/.gimx/config/
/root/.gimx/config/
