Send to Computer in Linux using WiFi

[Strampke]

For Linux users there is a Python script (airmtp.py) that allows you to download pictures from your camera to your Linux computer (which means to your raspberrypi as well) using  a WiFi connection.

Howto.

Download  the ZIP file from GitHub.

wget https://github.com/shezi/airmtp/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mkdir Camera-download

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/pi/airmtp-master
# Start your camera -> menu -> WiFi -> Send to Computer -> start the script
# find the ip address of your camera using arp and the MAC address and grep the ip address out of the arp discovery.
# the MAC address of Sony cameras starts with '00:ae'.
ip=$(arp -a | grep '00:ae' | grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}')
# the script has found the camera's ip address
# transfer this ip address inside the script
python3 airmtp.py --ipaddress $ip --outputdir /home/pi/Camera-download
#Attention; the directory to download the jpg files must be the same as the one on the line above.

In case you want to follow the correct execution of the script, type: sh -x name-of-your-script.sh

Enjoy!
