Description
This is a perl script for uploading pictures to a ceiva digital photo receiver (also known as "Internet picture frame" or "digital picture frame").
It performs the same function as the CEIVA Sender but it does so in a unix-friendly, command-line, easily-scriptable way.
It also accepts (slightly-broken?) mime email from my treo 650 on its standard input so it can be used with a mailer like qmail or postfix to function like Ceiva's own CEIVAMobile (which doesn't seem to work with my treo 650).
Usage
Here's how to use it:
ceiva --username <username> --password <password> --frame <frame_id> file1 [file2..filen]
The options are:
- username: The sign-in name you type on http://www.ceiva.com/
- password: The password you type on http://www.ceiva.com/
- frame_id: To get your frame_id, log in to http://www.ceiva.com/ and then visit this page:
http://www.ceiva.com/member/select_destinations_multiple.jsp.
Use your browser's "view source" and search for the text "frame_id". It should look something like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="frame_id" value="1234567890">The "value" (in this case, 1234567890) is your frame_id.
The ceiva script now supports reading username, password, and frame_id from a $HOME/.ceiva file like this:
username joe password secret frame-id 1234567890
Platforms
I've tested it on linux. I've heard it works on Mac OS X. I imagine it would work just about anywhere perl works. Let me know if you use it on another platform and I'll post it here. You will need the following libraries from CPAN if they did not come with your perl distribution: Bundle::LWP, Getopt::Long, Config::Simple, MIME::Parser.Installation
You may download ceiva here. One way you might install it under linux:
su
cd /usr/local/bin/
lwp-download http://www.elem.com/~joe/ceiva/ceiva
chmod a+x ceiva
