Eye Fi Standalone Server Version 2.0

I'd like to release an updated version of the Eye Fi standalone server in
python that I have been working on. This version should work on Linux, Mac OS
X, Windows, Solaris, or wherever else you can load a Python interpreter. As
always I love comments so if you are using this feel free to e-mail me or drop
me a note!

Source on GitHub: http://github.com/tachang/EyeFiServer

Download (zip): http://www.darkeneddesire.com/EyeFiServer/2.0/
EyeFiServer-v2.0.zip

I know some people just like to browse around the source without having to
download stuff (I'm one of those people):

http://www.darkeneddesire.com/EyeFiServer/2.0/Release/

This new version has the following features:

• The server can now execute an arbitrary command on each uploaded photo.
    This is a very dangerous feature and should be used with caution. On the
    other hand it is also very cool. You can have the server FTP files, display
    them using an image viewer, or even run sorting programs on the images.
  • Improved security: the server now generates its own nonces instead of using
    one that was hard coded. The nonce is based on the random library provided
    by python. The INTEGRITYDIGEST field is also checked.
  • Ability to read settings from a configuration file (there is a included
    DefaultSettings.ini for reference). The file allows you to configure the
    listen port, console output, logging, download location, and execute on
    upload, and upload key.

Some other notable improvements but not really features are the addition of
regression tests and support for Python 2.5. The regression tests are
interesting since I run them against the official Eye-Fi Manager to make sure
my behavior is a close match.

Getting usage information as to how to specify a configuration file:

C:\EyeFiServer\Release>EyeFiServer.py -h
Usage: EyeFiServer.py [options]

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIGFILE, --config=CONFIGFILE
Path to configuration file (example in
DefaultSettings.ini)

Actually specifying a configuration file:
C:\EyeFiServer\Release>EyeFiServer.py -c DebugSettings.ini

There is no way to delete it from the memory card.

    beamed up somewhere. is this possible with your software? thanks!

    Right now, there is an option to run a program after the upload is
    complete. This is very handy.

How difficult would it be to call a program when the upload starts?
    (Something that could be used to show a notification that a photo is
    starting the upload, or perhaps do something else.)

    @Andrew It's possible but not sure why you'd want to do so. The upload is
    in a tar format and may or may not complete. What kind of use case are you
    thinking about?

    The official Eye-Fi software shows a preview of the image as it is loading.
    I was thinking about having a similar thing under Linux. (Even if it just
    says 'An image is uploading' and doesn't have a thumbnail to show for it.)

    just for context, my application is this - trying to get the live data
    recorded (usually) on an sd card by this device:

http://english.ivt-hirschau.de/content.php?parent_id=CAT_64&doc_id=DOC_220

it is a solar controller that makes a file called solarlog.txt and it's in
    comma or tab delimited format on the SD card. I would like to intercept
    that file, and log it directly into a database. that software we have
    already written to accomodate a number of controllers - here is the site:

    I've been considering buying an Eye-Fi at some point, but the current
    closed nature of the device has made me a little unsure so far (at the
    price).

However your server looks very interesting. Looking at something Dave
    Hansen said had me wondering, what about a PythonCE implementation for
    mobile phones?

    @Bob H

I'd love to port this to mobile phones but the reason this server works is
    because the Eye-Fi card connects to an access point. There are exactly zero
    phones on the market place right now that support acting as an access
    point.

The only phone I know if that even has a remote possibility of this is the
    OpenMoko phone in which you'd have to write drivers to have it function in
    AP mode. This phone is really on its deathbed though because of Android.

    You're a clever dude Jeff. I'm Eying the Eye-Fi to help streamline data
    entry for out non-profit organisation. We receive donated furniture which
    we data enter into a web-based inventory management app. Each item requires
    a (reasonably high-res) photograph which we currently have to download to a
    fileshare from the camera and at a later time painstakingly associate each
    one with its inventory record via the web interface (this is stupid). I'm
    looking for ways to get a decent digital camera to provide an image to a
    web applicaiton in one hit right at the point of data entry. Can you see a
    way forward using Eye-Fi... or even have any suggestions for things I could
    investigate?

May 12, 2009 7:32 AM [icon_delet]

    Andrew said...
   
    @matt

Depending on the resolution of the image (along with other factors, like
    proximity to the wireless access point since the eye-fi's wireless isn't as
    strong as a normal laptop's wireless) it may take up to a couple minutes
    before the image is fully uploaded (with either Jeff's server or the
    official one). This may or may not affect your entry of data. (Perhaps
    write it so that it associates the photo after you add the details based on
    exif time or something.)

May 12, 2009 7:44 AM [icon_delet]

    Jeff Tchang said...
   
    @Matt

Here is a scenario that could work:

1. User brings up the web-based inventory management app.
    2. User clicks a button and the web based app waits for an image.
    3. When image is uploaded the web based application associates the image to
    the correct inventory description.

How this would happen technologically:

I own a small netbook (an MSI Wind). One of the best things about this
    netbook is that it comes with an RALink wireless card that supports access
    point mode in windows. What this means is that you can essentially have a
    mobile access point. What I did was setup this netbook as an access point
    and run my Eye-Fi software. When the EyeFi card in my camera starts up it
    connects to the netbook and starts uploading photographs.

My scenario would be having a person walking around with the netbook and
    camera. They would bring up the inventory management app and click a button
    when they were ready to upload a photograph. They would then snap a quick
    photo. My software would capture it within 1-2 minutes and associate it to
    the inventory item. I imagine this use case would work because the person
    would be filling out details about the item as they were waiting for the
    photograph to finish transferring.

The pluses to this is that you can do any sort of photograph transformation
    inline. Photos are never deleted off the SD disk so you can do it manually
    later if you need to.

I would be interested in working on this as a side project (sounds like
    fun). If you want some help feel free to e-mail me! :)

    The Windows Mobile phone can work as an access point. You just need to
    install a piece of software called wmwifirouter. http://
    www.wmwifirouter.com/

On a side note I tried your script on my linux box and it starts up but
    does not receive any files. I opened the firewall port and still no love. I
    double checked the upload key. How does the card know to send the pics to
    the server? Is there anything else I should do?

Basically what is happening is that the card does not trust the server.
    This usually happens because the UploadKey is incorrect.

Are you sure you got the right upload key?

Did you recently upgrade the firmware? What kind of card do you have? EyeFi
    might have changed something and I just didn't pick up on it. It doesn't
    seem like anything is blatantly wrong. Odd.

Do you have chat? Go ahead and e-mail me directly your screen name. My

    Ack. I just saw that Eye-Fi released a new firmware. Need to check it.
    Probably the cause.

    Jeff Tchang said...
   
    The new Eye Fi firmware adds an option called "Relayed Uploads". If this is
    enabled the Eye-Fi server on this site will not work out of the box. The
    easy fix is to disable it. I will release a new version shortly that will
    take care of all this.

The detailed answer is that the relayed uploads feature adds a new
    transfermode. This transfermode, which happens to be 3, is sent by the card
    to the server. The problem is I hardcoded a transfermode of 2. I just need
    to clean up the code and make sure I send back whatever transfermode the
    card sends me.

    Is there a way to have the server only upload images from the eye-fi card
    that have been "tagged" protected in camera?
    That's the biggest problem using an eye-fi card is it's too slow when
    uploading all the images, but if it could only upload selected images it
    would really be useful.
    Thanks for all your work.

    @sorboimages Since the sending of images is completely handled by the card
    and not the server, that wouldn't be something that this could do. I'd
    recommend checking the official Eye-Fi forums for your suggestion (or
    posting it if you can't find it) since it would have to be done on the
    card's firmware.

    @Andrew Yes, I was just wondering if the server could accept or reject a

    If you are getting the following error:

TypeError: stat() argument 1 must be (encoded string without NULL bytes),
    not str

then you are most likely running Python 2.5.1 or less. This error is the
    result of a bug in the tarfile library that I use. In Python 2.5.2 or later
    this is fixed.

The Eye-Fi card does seem to find the server but doesn't want to upload to

    Windows tool). Make sure you have it configured to upload to a computer
    (you can specify any destination).

Let me know what you find.

I managed to install python using Cydia on my jailbroken iphone, then

    Server, but I don't have a Eye-Fi card, so I don't know if it *really*
    works! ;)

It would be nice since it would allow to transfer the photos directly on
    the iphone. Once it's done, then the iphone becomes a great photo manager.
    It can even post pictures on the Net using the 3G network!

The Eye-Fi card actually does a scan of the subnet in which it obtains the

    Hey Jeff awesome script but I am have some questions about which eye fi
    card to use. I have both versions (basic and pro). The pro uses the ad hoc
    feature and the basic does not. Is your script applicable to both and
    finally when I run the regression.py in IDLE python I get an error which I
    guess is my major problem. I have not yet had a successful upload and was
    wondering If I missed something.

    am running the eyefiserver.py with the -c command but I just get no
    response from the card. I got the uploadkey error but once I changed the
    key I get nothing. I also tried running the recession test and it said it
    couldn't upload. I am using python 2.63 for winxp and a Nikon D40 to

    I've never had issues with setting up a card to use an access point. You
    will need to use the eye-fi manager to set the card up with the access
    point and give the card the ssid (wireless network name) and any encryption
    keys that might be in place.

    2. Can we write data on Card using wifi server.

    Hello this is Lee, I am bringing up your EyeFi server.

I have one question (at the end) and these notes for other people bringing
    up the Linux python eye-fi server.

On Windows, the Settings.xml file is hidden. I had to futz around with
    "view" or some such setting to see the file.

It is helpful you explained the EyeFi card searches the subnet when finding
    a EyeFi server. I turned off my wife's Windows computer running EyeFi
    server software to enable the search to find the Linux box running the
    Python EyeFi server software.

I am starting the server with "-i" and doing two steps to quit the server.
    First control-c and then the python function quit() (parentheses required).
    Otherwise I have to kill the python process which is kinda mean.

python -i EyeFiServer.py -c DefaultSettings.ini

Initially, I started seeing file transfers when I turned on Loglevel=DEBUG.

And, how do you observe the basic EyeFi card transfer processes?

One thing i have noticed is that if an image has the same name it auto

    make the server software create folders per day or month then upload to

    Jeff,

Any chance of making this work on Android? I know you're experienced with
    Android so I'm sure you've given it some thought at least. I have a
    Motorola Droid that's rooted and has Wifi tethering. It can create an
    ad-hoc network so I was just wondering how hard would it be to have the
    server connect to that?

February 9, 2010 11:55 AM [icon_delet]
[bla] [l]
    Jeff Tchang said...
   
    @Fho

Would definitely write the Android port but it wouldn't work right now. The
    base Eye-Fi card only works with infrastructure wireless networks.

Now if I got my hands on an Eye-Fi Pro card (the one that supports ad-hoc
    networks) then I could port it to Android.

    I was wondering if it could be done with the regular card. That's what I
    have and don't see me paying $150 just for the "pro" version.
    There isn't a way to "adjust" the firmware of regular cards to unlock
    ad-hoc networks?

    set up an ad hoc network but if i can setup a wireless access point then i
    wouldn't need the pro card

    Jeff Tchang said...
   
    @Fho

There is currently no way to setup an access point with android. The reason
    is primarily that there has been no code written for the android for the
    wireless card to work in master (infrastructure) mode.

If you could push this enhancement to wifi-tether that would be best:

    Jeff,
    I thought it might be cool to use Ubuntu's notify-send command to Send a
    Desktop notification when an upload completes but when I try to put this as
    a command in the DefaultSettings.ini I get a series of python errors in the
    console. Any idea how this might be accomplished correctly?
    example: ExecuteOnUpload=/usr/bin/notify-send "Image Uploaded" 2>&1

Thanks

    Jeff Tchang said...
   
    @Dutch

Try creating a simple shell script and using that as the command for
    ExecuteOnUpload.

The shell script needs to be prepared to accept as its first argument the
    file name of the image.

Inside that shell script run the send-notify.

    Jeff,
    I am trying to develop an embedded application based on the EyeFi
    Standalone Server v2.0. I am using the pro card and configuring it in AdHoc
    mode. I have tried the Eye-Fi card with your script in ad-hoc mode and it
    works perfectly.

I am able to receive the Start Session packets from the Eye-Fi card on my
    embedded platform and am replying to it with a Start Session response
    packets on the lines of what you have in your script. But I don't receive
    anything from the Eye-Fi card. I tried to sniff the packets and the data
    packets going out of the embedded application are exactly similar to the
    ones that the EyeFi Standalone Server v2.0 sends.

I am calculating the credentials as md5(macaddress, cnonce, uploadkey). I
    am keeping the snonce (1ab39d09d92a42af9cfa769c74ee74e9), transfermode (2),
    transfermodetimestamp (1230268824) constant. I hope this is correct.

My concern is with the date. Does it have to be correct? I think it should
    not matter. But I wanted to know if the Eyefi card expects a correct date.

Any advice will be really helpful and appreciated!

    Hi Jeff,

Can commands be used to send files from the server to the Eye-Fi cards?

Also, does the current version of software allow for several multiple

We can test 100 cards, simultaneously, if we know that the code supports
    it.

A while back, cochran242 asked about organizing files into folders based on

    coding is the datetime format which, for me, is YYYYMMDD). For anyone

    I currently use about 20 EyeFi cards. Right now I'm using the official
    software, but it is extremely unreliable. I schedule the XP machines that
    run the software to reboot 4 times daily, as an automatic fix of sorts.

This seems like it would be much more stable, but I have a few things that
    are extremely critical in my environment.

1) The server needs to be able to support multiple cards. This doesn't look
    like an issue based on what I've read.

2) I need to be able to have different cards deliver to different folders.
    Preferably I would have, for example, my Cleveland EyeFi cards deliver to
    C:\Images\CLV\Sales\05-13-10\, and my Nashville cards deliver to C:\Images\
    NVL\Quality\05-13-10\.

3) I have a routed LAN network. The EyeFi cards will run on a different
    VLAN than the server itself, which means that broadcasting to find the
    server probably won't work. I set up the first version of the standalone
    server, and if I recall, I had to add a DNS entry for api.eye.fi pointing
    to my standalone. This solution won't work if I plan on using multiple
    servers (which is dependent on whether I can have different cards on the
    same server point to different folders).

Hope that all made sense.

You have no idea how much easier my job would be if I had a more robust
    EyeFi system, and I can tell you that there is certainly a market for a
    business solution.

I can't believe how EyeFi is ignoring that entire market segment.

What is this transfermode 34? Use the official eye fi software to make sure

    Well, I installed the server, and I have to say I'm very happy with it's
    functionality, and it's a LOT more stable than the Eye-Fi software. One
    little problem though. When I try to transfer a movie, I get this error
    message:
    error: [Errno 10055] An operation on a socket could not be performed
    because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was
    full

I googled this, and found a registry hack that allows high number ports on
    Server 2003 (What I'm running). Before I applied the hack, the error
    message occurred on every transfer (Pictures too), but now it's only
    happening with movies. Any ideas?

    @ Andrew / Jeff:

Would it be possible to add in the option of having a different

It would seem trivial since you provide the same functionality with the
    UploadKey setting, but I'm not really a developer and can't seem to figure
    out how to do it myself.

Also, when using Andrews modifications to support multiple cards, I get the
    following in my log; any ideas?:

    The Server works well, thanks a lot!
    But there is one bug I discovered.
    After downloading about 1000 images, the thread limit of the OS is
    exceeded. I am getting this error: "error: can't start new thread"
    Could it be that the hook child-threads are not correctly terminated?

    Hi, happy to find this post, disappointed with eye-fi that you had to write
    it, direct upload to a local file server using SMB/CIFS/FTP seems like such
    a basic requirement.

I want to configure the card on a physical machine, but run the standalone
    server on a virtual machine hosted on a server.

How does the eye-fi card know the FQDN/IP of the local server it should
    connect to?

    Pieter Viljoen: The eyefi card looks for a running server on the subnet
    that the card is on. It will attempt to send to the first server it finds.

    Pieter Viljoen said...
   
    Andrew, ok, thanks.

That seems very inefficient, imagine I run a private class A 10.255.255.255
    subnet, 16 million possible hosts...

What if I'm in a shared environment, like in an enterprise or a university
    dorm, multiple eye-fi card owners, multiple servers, all on the same
    subnet, my card may end up talking to somebody else's server, does the card
    validate the server, and move on if validation fails?

    Pieter Viljoen: Yes, there is verification, which is why the uploadKey is
    important.

    I am having a problem running the server. I know nothing of Python, so
    please excuse my lack of knowledge.

I installed "Python 3.1.2 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer" from python.org, on
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I open a command prompt, cd to the server folder, and run:

-------------
    C:\Users\User Name\Downloads\EyeFiServer-v2.0>EyeFiServer.py -h
    File "C:\Users\User Name\Downloads\EyeFiServer-v2.0\EyeFiServer.py", line
    678
    print "Warning: No configuration file specified! Run this server with the
    -h command."
    ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

C:\Users\User Name\Downloads\EyeFiServer-v2.0>EyeFiServer.py -c
    DebugSettings.ini
    File "C:\Users\User Name\Downloads\EyeFiServer-v2.0\EyeFiServer.py", line
    678
    print "Warning: No configuration file specified! Run this server with the
    -h command."
    ^

    -------------

Any ideas?

    I know this isn't directly related to this fantastic Python server, but
    does anyone have any ideas how to change the address the Eye-Fi card
    connects to? If we could change that, we could get it to connect directly
    to our own Python server, bypassing Eye-Fi's servers. Is it stored in the
    setup? Or does the firmware have to be hacked?

June 15, 2010 7:46 PM [icon_delet]
●
    Andrew said...
   
    CBailey: Short of rewriting the card's firmware, it isn't possible. Just be
    sure to only have one server running on the subnet. (Perhaps set up a
    subnet just for the card and server.)

It doesn't require X. Are you using python 2.6? Did you somehow compile it
    with X or something and it needs to start it all the time?

A simple hello world works properly:

That makes me think there is a library dependency in there somewhere. Do
    you have a 'DISPLAY' set in your env? If so, what is it?

    okay, this was caused by a simple stupid. I was executing "./

The former clearly doesn't work, as the first line of the file shows.

    Great work!
    I really love your python script and already implemented it as windows
    service.
    Only one thing:
    there is alwas a .log file created together with the image. I assume this
    .log is inside the TAR file you extract. Is there a way only to extract the
    JPG files out od the TAR file?

    Hi!
    Thank you very much for writing this server!
    I'm trying to use it on a small laptop acting as my media center (actually
    an olpc...). But I think I am having memory problems. It seems that when
    many pictures are sent, they are not saved to a file before the whole
    "roll" is finished. When the camera has many pictures on it, my small
    machine runs out of memory and takes forever to save the pictures. Is it
    possible to process the pictures one by one - save one, get next, and so
    on?

    Hi Jeff.. Your work is awesome. Just one question though, about the ad hoc
    feature. Can I buy a basic Eye-Fi (not the pro Eye-Fi), use your software,
    and the card can directly transmit the photos directly to PC without a
    wireless router? Really thank for your answer. Herry.

    I'm confident it's configured correctly, yet it's refusing to upload.

    @Obscura

The transfermode is incorrect. You need to get it so the card sends "2". I
    haven't had a chance to look into what other transfer modes eyefi uses
    nowadays.

    Obscura said...
   
    Uh oh. I've enabled RAW transfers?

That is all I shoot. My camera stores a full size jpeg preview inside each
    raw file. I was planning on using the post-transfer script function to run
    an extractor.

If it is RAW transfer that is messing things up, is there anything I can do
    to help get it working?

    Jeff Tchang said...
   
    I am pretty sure you can still transfer raw. Might have to edit the
    code...I had a bug in it that caused it to always send tranfermode 2
    instead of reading what the card sent.

    Did some more troubleshooting tonight. Switched the camera to jpeg instead

How is this possible? If we can solve it my RAW images may start working.

    Eye-Fi should have made their software with Java in the first place.

I imagine something simple that can be run via

java -jar EyeFiServer.jar

And it´d run on Linux, Windows, Mac OS-X, you name it.

But no, the idiots at EyeFi had to do things with Adobe "Hot" Air....

Anyway, thanks for your python server, will try it soon.

    The eye-fi works nicely with a mifi allowing upload via cellular while out
    and about :-)

Is there a way to set up relayed upload that goes to a configured server
    (running this stand alone server) via the internet rather than to the
    eye-fi server?

It works nicely (it ftp's the image to my photo site) but I would rather
    the images do not go via their server first.

This is for when on the move, using hotspots or mifi, and so the server is
    not on the same LAN.

Alternatively I'll have to do some DNS hacks...

    Jeff! I have to say thanks a million! Your python script has added the
    functionality to my eye-fi card that I wanted when I originally purchased
    this card. It was frustrating to be tied to the eye-fi servers (though to
    their credit, they did a bang up job making this product in the first
    place); it was weird they added a limitation that the card has to check
    registration everytime over the internet when it wants to start an upload.
    I have a mifi unit without service and was struggling with this frustrating
    implementation. I don't understand [yet] python coding or any other
    language (it's never been my field of study] so I had to take a crash
    course in trying to get this setup. I don't know why, but this is
    restricted to the c: directory. I have a thinkpad laptop with two
    harddrives and the cmd line was giving me errors and failures when I tried
    using d [even with changing the directory correctly].

I suppose for simple instructions for the uninitiated: Download the zip
    file from Jeff. Extract into the c:\ directory. Obtain your uploadkey from
    the settings.xml file as the document states (note, I did find something in
    the area walter was talking about and I fiddled with that but never got
    that working. There were so many variables that I just stuck with what was
    in the settings.xml since it was available to me). later you can change the
    directory but it is not necessary. Change the uploadkey in
    defaultsettings.ini in the c: directory where you extracted the files. Save
    and exit. Open cmd window. change directory using 'cd' to the extracted
    folder in c: (so probably C:\EyeFiServer-v2.0) then type eyefiserver.py -c
    defaultsettings.ini and hit enter.

activate your camera and take pictures. the pictures should transfer over
    to the already extracted folder in c: but with a new pictures directory,
    so: C:\EyeFiServer-v2.0\pictures. Now you are good to go.
    Took several hours to get this configured. I needed to take a crash course
    in python and sort through what was mixed information and no clear cut
    method - to a newbie- as to how to go about activating this server either
    through IDLE the gui or a python command prompt.

Again thanks A LOT for creating this!

    I keep getting an error when I run this server related to the upload key.
    Strangely, it worked for a moment, now the server is back to giving me
    complaints about it.

In settings.xml the key is listed as 19169f45da9945f29e86b86c2007b3de

but I have noticed on this site that the keys appear to be different, many
    beginning with the letter c. What might be the difference? I plugged the
    card back into my computer and reran the eyefi main program to check to see
    if something got changed randomly but the key still remains

19169f45da9945f29e86b86c2007b3de.

Any idea how to fix?

    There is an Android Server out which works with both Wifi and Android AP.
    It's free and it's features are great :

- Preview while upload
    - Geo Tag
    - Resize & Rotate
    - Share to every possible service on Android.
    - Notification of successful uploads (Toast / Sound / Vibrate)

I tested it on my Galaxy is and it worked very well.

It is available in the market.

Enjoy.

    Hi. I have an Eye-Fi Pro X2 (8GB) card and I've gotten your software
    *almost* working on a netbook running Debian.

Almost, in that your software does see the Eye-Fi card connecting to it
    when I click "add network to card" in the Eye-Fi Center, but after a minute
    I see the "Unable to connect to Eye-Fi server" message.

The cause appears to have something to do with the "Received and expected
    server credentials don't match" errors I see when I get an Eye-Fi card log.

I've uploaded logs and details and such here because it's too much to post
    here.

You'll note that I've found two different upload keys in two different
    places, and neither of them work.
