Udload Profile per Webaccess

[Matthe]

Can I upload the Profil-File per Webaccess like Fixture Files. Or in what Folder on the Filesystem is it stored?

You can't upload input profiles via web.
You need to scp them via SSH in /root/.qlcplus/inputprofiles

Picking a one year old thread...

Is scp via ssh still the only way to copy input profiles?

I taught myself how to do this yesterday

I’m hoping to put together a dummies guide this week

Haven't had chance to create a 'how to' yet,
but this link gives some of the basics of how to connect to your rpi via ssh

If you have issues with access because you are not running as 'root' then look here

I've just had to reinstall my qlc+ image (lots of playing at the terminal, and obvs messed with something I shouldn't have!)
So, was a good excercise in going through everything I had learned again.

I found that the instructions I had previously used for SCP'ing the input profile didn't work this time.

Using scp to copy from pc directly to correct location wouldn't work because I couldn't firgure out how to the configure the root password, and without a root password it wouldn't let me do the copy.

Lots of messing around, and long story short, the easiest way I found to input the input profile was to boot up another SD card I have with my regular RPi OS install with GUI desktop. Used an SD card USB dongle to load my QLC+ sd card as external media, and copied the profile to home/pi

Then swapped cards, booted the sd card with the QLC+ image, and used ssh to sudo cp the file to the correct location.
