Can not ftp edited rcS file back to Enigma 2 some sort of protection

[ipbox9000]

Please help, I've loaded the Nightly Enigma 2 to IPbox9000, trying to get Crossepg to work. When I try to upload the new rcS file back to etc/init.d none of my editors will allow this. I'm guessing its some sort of file protection but how do I remove it.

You have to use a Linux/unix compatible editor like Notepad ++ not Wordpad or any other crap.

Thanks for reply, I've tried with notepad ++ and when I try and update the rcS file back to the box it won't update it.... Its like it is write protected.

try PSPad
also try CHMOD 755 the original file , so it can be over written

Thanks again, tried all that, even tried telnet chmod, the file is chmodded to 755 and will not change, whatever I do, I think I will try to load an original DGS image and try again with enigma 2. I am running without a hard drive at the moment, but I can't see that having an effect on it.

On a flashed image the rootfilesystem ("/") is mounted read only (ro).
You can see that by using the mount command.
If you want to start something, when you start the box, you have to look in /var/etc.
There you probably have something like rcS or rcS_user.sh. In one of those file you can put the startup command.

Thanks, theres loads to get to grips with, will give it a go tonight. Just out of interest is there a way of removing the RO attribute? Cheers

As far as I know, there is no way to remove the RO attributes.
I have struggled with this for some time but did not succeed.
The Tideglo image you are using has the /var/etc/rcS_user.sh, which you can edit. for example insert :
/var/bin/oscam -b -c /var/keys

to start oscam

Ok I see what its all about now, not tried Oscam yet, but I can see how it works. I've had no success installing Crossepg as the ro attribute is not allowing crossepg to install all files. Think I need to get an image installed on USB or hardrive to get rid of this ro problem.
Thanks to all for info.
