Is there a way to better access a player's SD card?

While we have several players per job-site, we rarely have easy access to the players to remove the microSD cards. We're not always using BrightAuthor for content, so frequent file changes on the microSD cards are necessary. 

We can use the DWS to do basic tasks, but is there a better way to access the card? SFTP even SSH would be great so we can use better tools for file management than the web GUI.

    Both ssh and SFTP are available.

    Once ssh is enabled files can be transferred using tools like Filezilla and alike.

    OK, so I added the code to the autorun script, but it is making the player inaccessible after reboot. Ideas?

    I think I figured it out... saw the note the about having to reboot which I did manually... 

    So, is there any harm in leaving this code in the script with some other code? Is the intention you'd do the enable / disable and then remove the code?

    Very good questions.

    The code changes the registry which keeps the settings.

    Settings in the Registry are cleared upon Factory Reset.

    If you need ssh to be enabled for the integrity of the application, you could incorporate the ssh enabling code into your setup files, so it is only done once.

    Writing to the registry every time the player boots up is not best practice.

    OK, so I'm using the control script found here:

    I added the SSH enable bit around where the existing roNetworkConfiguration lines are. What exactly are setup files if I'm not doing BrightAuthor or cloud?
