It’s a very simple way : i took the binary FloppyD from the debian distribution (etch), made a copy to the wyse and launch it with the command line : floppyd -r root -s 5704 /dev/sda1 locahost
After that, you just have to plug the usb key in hte wyse and use the mtools to have access to the key.
It’s more simple, for KDE users, to use Konqueror : you just have to write ‘floppy:/x’ the the location bar.

The mtools use the port 5703+number of display to connect to the floppyD daemon. In my case, i use only the first display (echo $DISPLAY -> test-wyse:1.0), and i have fixed the port of floppyd to 5704.

I put the .pak file in the download section (name : floppyd)

Hi,

It is possible to use usb key with floppyd daemon (it’s just a binary file). Copy the floppyd program on the wyse and launch it with the root account (something like floppyd -r root /dev/sda1). The daemon can be launch automatically with modify the /etc/rc.d/rc.services
On the Linux server, use the mtools to access to the key. If you use KDE, it’s very simple with konqueror.
I can explain the method in details if someone is interested.

Moreover, if anyone knows how to make proper addons (if it is possible), I will appreciate some help for my method.
