NAME

       ifp - access iRiver iFP audio devices

SYNOPSIS

       ifp command [arguments ...]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

COMMANDS

       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.
