Disk Space Problem

Can someone develop a new app that moves the app directory over to the the media stuff so that we can get more disck space for those of us that dont understand winscp or putty or anything

A simple app that can do this for us to free disk space would be great

Thanks all

I don't see a need for this. People need to understand SSH for numerous reasons. It would be better if you educated yourself with these programs. Honestly.

SSH is NOT hard. If you're having difficulty grasping it, you will have difficulty in modern life. Seriously.

Learn. Read forums. Try. That's the only way you'll ever grow. I've gone through so much in regards to my phone, and I keep on learning. That's what is important. We are here to help if you mess up, but not to hold your hand and do things for you. Come on now. It is very VERY simple to ssh.
