Winbox For Other OS's

Maybe winbox for Linux and windows mobile 6.

Will ease things allot.

Thank You.

Install wine on linux and you will be able to run winbox without problems.

I am well aware, i could also install vmware if i really wanted too.

However it would just make things much simpler.

;p

Any plans for Winbox (or any MikroTik config apps) for Mac OS X native?

no, but we could make a web based system with all winbox features if that makes sense ..

Difficult to configure through web interface if it has no ip :stuck_out_tongue:

I still think winbox needs to be available for other OS’s.

It would save me a hell of allot of issues.

Pity winbox couldnt be made open source. Sure versions for linux, windows mobile, mac would jump up everywhere!

if it worked on other os it wouldnt be winbox anymore. it will be linbox and macbox. lol

rofl :laughing:

Good point! So thats why it’s impossible!
the name defines the technology :astonished:

good point about the IP.

well, but you can already use the API to make a simple winbox version.

I more robust web version of Winbox w/ all of it’s features would be sufficient (in lieu of version for Mac OS, Linux, etc).

Thank you for your reply and continued success with your fantastic OS and hardware.

I would also prefer a native Mac OS App then to start virtual box or wine.
But it works nice with CrossOver from codeweavers

crossover and wine are the same, except wine is free.

I have wine installed on the two latest versions of ubuntu. In both, I can’t drag files onto the files list in winbox. The only way I get to upload files (including package upgrades) is by ftp. Sometimes (most times!) this isn’t convenient. Or is there something i’m doing wrong?

I agree a native Mac / native Linux winbox (MikBox ?) for connecting via MAC address with no IP available. A web version would be handy at remote locations where everyone has access to the web. Maybe an open source web interface project to speed-up the developement process?

I use Mac as my main OS, then Linux windows last. I’d love to see a native solution for Mac!

How about just porting it to Java?

This is possible using the RouterOS API.

I’m not the greatest in Java programmer, but if you want to start a project, let me know.
I have programming background, but not in Java unfortunately.

You probably don’t know this, but Winbox before v2.8 was on JAVA all the time :smiley:

what about drag and drop problem in wine? Can you just add button “upload files” in winbox, that opens file dialog?

we have FTP
