IFP(1)IFP(1)NAMEifp - access iRiver iFP audio devices
SYNOPSISifp [option] command [arguments ...]
DESCRIPTIONifp 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.
ifp can upload or download files or directories, delete or make direc‐
tories on the device, format the device, or upgrade your firmware.
The following options are available:
-h, --help
Print help message.
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 remote‐
dir. 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 detri‐
mental 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.
help Print help message. Same as "-h | --help".
version
Display the version number of ifp.
