SCP can be used to send KMZ files (track or placemark) to an available SSH server. This can be done via WiFi or the mobile data connection. If using the mobile data connection, be sure that there is direct IP access to the server (like through a VPN).

  1. In Share GPS, create a new connection for KML SCP. Move to the next page for settings.



    Settings:
    • Host - IP Address or Hostname of the SSH server.
    • Port - the port SSH is running on, the default is 22.
    • User - a a valid user on the SSH server.
    • Password - the password of the user on the SSH server. Leave blank to be asked on connect.
    • File - the filename (including directory) on the ssh server. Be sure to setup the directory correct.
    Move to the next section for files.
  2. The files section can be used to specifiy alternate icons for the kml file, pictures used for placemarks, and embedded video links. Look here for more information: KML file additions Once complete, click OK to create the connection.



  3. Start the connection in Share GPS. You should see Connecting in the status. NOTE: When connecting to a server for the first time, Share GPS will indicate it does not have the host key for that server. Let the app add the key and start the connection again.
  4. If the file type is a track file or a placemark with set location enabled, the file is sent once and immediately disconnected. For a normal updating placemark file, the app will send periodically according the settings.
  5. Whenever done sending the KMZ data periodically, long press the connection in Share GPS and select Disconnect.
