Sceye-Fi

Introduction

The software that comes with Eye-Fi card doesn't suit the needs of all users (there is no Linux version for instance).

The goal I had in my mind when I started to write this program was to integrate it in my event-photography software; but it can be used independently.

Requirements

Sceye-Fi requires a JRE or JDK 1.6+ to run. It's a Netbeans project, but it can be built with Ant 1.7+

Running Sceye-Fi

The server can be started with the following command:

java -jar sceye-fi.jar [<configuration-file>]

A configuration file may optionally be specified, otherwise, it will search for one in the default location:

• user-home/Application Data/Eye-Fi/Settings.xml, or
• user-home/Library/Eye-Fi/Settings.xml

Logging

To see what Sceye-Fi is doing, you can supply a logging.properties file on the command line:

java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -jar sceye-fi.jar

Here is an example of a logging.properties file:

``` handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

.level = WARNING

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = ALL java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter

org.tastefuljava.sceyefi.level = FINE ```

I have benefited from the experience of other persons that have reversed-engineered the Eye-Fi protocol for their own projects. Here is a list of related projects:
