Copy books over Wi-Fi

1. Connect your computer and PocketBook to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Open Easy Connect, select FTP and press Start. If prompted, set a password and press Start again.
3. Open an FTP client on your computer. Enter the connection details shown on the reader.

Upload books into your usual books folder. You can also download, rename or delete files with your FTP client. When the transfer finishes, refresh Library so the books appear on the reader.

macOS Finder only reads FTP files. Use an FTP client with upload support to copy books to the reader.

Show transferred books in Library

After the transfer finishes, tap the circular-arrow icon in the top bar. Wait for the scan to finish, then open PocketBook Library. Refreshing keeps your reading history.

Closing the app normally also starts a Library refresh. If a file was still uploading, refresh again after it finishes. You can open the transferred books with the built-in reader or CoolReader.

Start, stop and change settings

SSH and FTP work independently. Reopen Easy Connect and press Stop in the tab for the service you want to end. Stop a service before changing its port, password or other settings. Settings save automatically.

Home, Back and switching to another app leave SSH, FTP and active transfers running. The reader must stay awake and connected to Wi-Fi. Closing the app is not the same as stopping a service.

A reader restart stops both services; they do not start automatically afterward. Stop both before connecting USB, upgrading or removing the app.

Open an SSH shell

Select the SSH tab and press Start. On your computer, open a terminal and run:

ssh -T -p 2222 DEVICE_USER@DEVICE_IP '/bin/sh -i'

Replace DEVICE_USER and DEVICE_IP with the username and address shown on the reader. If you changed the SSH port, use that instead of 2222. Compare the host fingerprint with the one shown in Easy Connect, then enter your SSH password.

The message can't access tty; job control turned off is expected for this connection. Basic commands work, but full-screen terminal programs may not. Type exit to disconnect.

SSH provides a shell. SFTP and SCP file transfers are not included; use FTP to transfer books.

Toolbar shortcuts

• Home: close the interface and refresh Library.
• Circular arrow: refresh Library now.
• Diagnostics: save a report to help investigate a problem.
• Check for updates: look for a new version. See update instructions.
• Information: show the installed version.

Connect safely

• Use FTP on a trusted Wi-Fi network. Its passwords and file contents are not encrypted. FTPS is not supported.
• Keep password access enabled. No password mode allows reachable clients to read and change files. The starting folder does not prevent access to other files the reader account can reach.
• Stop services when you finish. Closing the app alone leaves them running.
• Keep your reader and backups private. USB storage includes saved credentials and SSH keys.

Fix a connection problem

• No address or Start is unavailable: connect to Wi-Fi in the reader’s settings, then return to Easy Connect.
• The computer cannot connect: check that the service is running and that you used its displayed address, port and username. Guest Wi-Fi networks may prevent devices from connecting to each other.
• Login fails: SSH and FTP have separate passwords. Use Set password in the correct tab if you need to change one.
• Books are missing: wait for the transfer to finish, then refresh Library.
• FTP is read-only in Finder: use an FTP client that supports uploads.
• The app looks stuck after an upgrade: stop both services, close it with Home and reopen it. If needed, restart the reader.

If the problem continues, tap Diagnostics and report an issue with your model, firmware and steps. The report is saved as system/share/easy-connect/diagnostics.txt; keep ui.log too. Do not share passwords or private keys.
