Kiss Commander is little tool for managing your Kiss DP-558 HDD Recorder, In this early state of development is only a simple file managing utility with some additional features specific for Kiss. This means that Kiss Commander manages files on Kiss disk ONLY.
Kiss Commander has two panes with files and in bottom is debug output, in that box are logged all commands sended to Kiss. Right now there is no instalation, just unzip all in one directory and be sure to read ReadMe.txt before starting KissCommander.

Features:

• manage files directly on Kiss HDD
• manage processes on Kiss
• display memory usage on Kiss

Kiss Commander can use different types of connection. On first start KissCommander will show setup form and you will have to choose parameters to connect to Kiss.

Telnet connection (TKissCommandTelnet)

• Kiss need to have Telnet server active
• Every instance on KissCommander consumes 1800 kb of Kiss memory. And every command will consume some memory to. This can be reduced to 1200kb if you don't use memory refresh (enter 0 in Refresh Free Memory info edit on setup form).
• Telnet connection is little bit faster (I need to run more tests to be sure).

Http CGI connection (TKissCommandCGI)

• Kiss need to have Stage2 firmware, and httpd up and running. You will also have to copy execute.cgi into stage2 CGI dir. (/hdd/stage2/htmlroot/cgi/execute.cgi) and then execute command chmod 777 execute.cgi in that directory.
• KissCommander uses far less Kiss memory, it uses httpd and only commands runned on Kiss consume additional memory.

Please be aware that current version of KissCommander is in early beta, and Telnet connection type is more stable then CGI. CGI needs more testing !

KissCommander needs an Telnet or http server running on Kiss to work, to do that you will have to get "alternative" firmware on Kiss, because in original firmware there is no telnet or http server. Look at links section, stage2 firmware.
