FTP'ing daylight saving file

**tonys** · 21-09-2007, 03:55 PM

I see from a message on my Tivo that I need to tranfer a new timezone file onto my Tivo, can anyone give me an idiot's guide to doing this please? I'm reasonably confident using Putty, but I think I need to use filezilla or similar? Not used this before!

telnet to your tivo then run the following:

#Remember the output of this so you can check later
ls -la /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland

#Backup previous files
mkdir timezone-backup
cp -p /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland timezone-backup/

#Get the update
wget ftp://210.48.107.133/install/Auckland.zip

unzip Auckland.zip
cp Auckland /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/

#Check the updated file
ls -la /var/hack/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland

#The output should be something like this, with the date of when you do it and the important bit is that the size is now 882.
#-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 882 Sep 21 21:17 Auckland

reboot

Worked fine, thanks. Just the same as the instructions in the message on the Tivo. I thought the file had to be downloaded to my PC, then ftp'd to my tivo.
