FTP or rsync
A couple of years ago I bought my wife an SD card for her digital camera (I think it's called eyeFi) that has a built-in 802.11 adapter. The idea is that when you get home, the card will automatically copy your photos over to your computer or some other storage.
I'd love to be able to have this same functionality on my Incredible and my wife's N1. I already have a situation called home that is triggered by my SSID, so it would seem like a natural extension of Locale to be able to FTP or rsync a user defined directory such as DCIM to a storage location, whether it's a computer or NAS.
Taking it one step further it could even do this through a VPN connection or take advantage of the DynDNS plugin.

This is implemented by a third party plug-in called “rsync backup for Android” which is now available on the Android Market. https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.kowalczuk.rsync4android

I'll check that out, but I've recently switched from using Locale to using Tasker. It seems to work with most of my Locale plugins, so I'll give it a shot that way.

I'm using QuickSSHd on the phone and then rsync from my PC to the phone to fetch files. To start QuickSSHd, I wrote a Locale plug-in that lets you start Linux commands. It's not yet on the market, because it's my first app and I'd like to get some feedback first. If you want, you can get it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734370 and try it out.
