SSH provides a secure command line method to communicate with your TrimUI Smart Pro.
SFTP is included and provides a secure file transfer method
Virtual password auth.

Debugging and troubleshooting
Encrypted
By default SSH is enabled on CrossMix-OS.
You can however disable / enable it:
Go in System Tools -> NETWORK -> SSH -> SSH - enable
Once you've activated your SSH server in "System Tools" you'll now be able to connect using software such as PuTTY, SolarPuTTY, Hyperterm or Kitty client. You'll also be able to use an SFTP client to transfer files securely (like WinSCP)
You can simply use "TSP" as target network address otheriwse you'll need the IP of the device, found below (System Tools -> NETWORK -> Display IP)
Default username:
root
Default password:
tina
Although we've taken every precaution to offer as much security as possible, remember to keep your CrossMix safe. SSH/SFTP is the most secure of the services CrossMix offers to communicate with your device but it is not advisable to leave SSH enabled while using public/open WIFI unless you're activley using it.
Much like the HTTP server, FTP provides a method of transferring files between your TrimUI Smart Pro and other devices such as a PC/Phone/Tablet. You'll need an FTP client installed on the second device.
File transfer
Debugging and troubleshooting
Go in System Tools -> NETWORK -> SFTPGo -> SFTPGo Server - enable

On some FTP clients you may need to alter settings or bin files will become damaged when they're transferred, filezilla for example may need to the below setting changing (Transfer -> Transfer type -> Binary)
Although we've taken every precaution to offer as much security as possible, remember to keep your CrossMix safe. It is not recommended you use FTP on an insecure WIFI network that is open or public as traffic is unencrypted, for this reason we strongly recommend you toggle FTP off when you're on the move!
The built-in HTTP fileserver will allow you to manage your files through a web browser on your phone, a PC or a tablet. Think of it as a website, hosted by your TrimUI Smart Pro.
Download anything, anywhere.
Upload anything, anywhere.

Although we've taken every precaution to offer as much security as possible, remember to keep your CrossMix safe. It may not be advisable to use the fileserver on Public/Open WIFI!
The Samba is a file sharing protocol that provides integrated sharing of files and directories between your TrimUI Smart Pro and your PC (Windows/Unix/Linux). It enables easy access, allowing you to share, access, and modify files as if they were stored locally on your PC.
File transfer
Mounted drive in Windows
Instant file visibility
Customisable share folders
For easy use we recommend to use SMB without authentification:
Go in System Tools -> NETWORK -> SMB -> SMB Server - enable
It is not recommended you let SMB without password enabled on an insecure WIFI network that is open or public.
If you want a secure access to your network shares:
Go in System Tools -> NETWORK -> SMB -> SMB Server (secure) - enable
When SMB Server (secure) is enabled:
Default username:
root
Default password:
trimui
Samba will provide you a streamlined method of transferring files across to your device. The folders you can access will be hosted by the device, and will be accessible through your file browser within Windows/Linux.
Once you've enabled Samba within "System Tools", it will instantly activate.
To browse to your shared folders within windows:
Hit your start button:
Now, type in the IP address of your MMP in this format: \\x.x.x.x, e.g:
Press Enter. It may take a second but an explorer window will open and you'll be met with some pre-configured locations we thought would get you started!
If you have Network File Sharing enabled on Windows, you'll also be able to pin the location to your
quick accessby finding it in the left pane of your explorer window, and clickingPin to Quick access
The shares will now appear in your quick access pane:
The subfolders can also be mapped as network shares by right clicking on "This PC" or "My Computer" and clicking "Map network drive" - Bare in mind you will have the map to a share directory instead of the root; for example:
\\192.168.1.215\screenshots- Give it a drive letter and it's ready!
Although we've taken every precaution to offer as much security as possible, remember to keep your CrossMix safe. It is not recommended you use SMB on an insecure WIFI network that is open or public, for this reason we strongly recommend you toggle SMB off when you're on the move!
Telnet provides a simple and unencrypted command line method to communicate with your TrimUI Smart Pro.
Command-Line Interface
Scripting and automation
Debugging and troubleshooting
Go in System Tools -> NETWORK -> SMB -> TELNET Server - enable
Once you've activated your telnet server in "System Tools" you'll now be able to connect
On Windows without any client you can run a cmd and type telnet TSP however using software such as PuTTY, SolarPuTTY, Hyperterm or Kitty client will give better results.
If "TSP" doesn't work as target address, you'll need the IP of the device, found below System Tools -> NETWORK -> Display IP
Default username:
root
Default password:

Although we've taken every precaution to offer as much security as possible, remember to keep your CrossMix safe. It is not recommended you use telnet on an insecure WIFI network that is open or public as traffic is unencrypted and transported in plain text, for this reason we strongly recommend you toggle telnet off when you're on the move!
