Fix for Failed to upload package: Failure on QtCreator

Just got hit by this problem, whenever I tried to deploy my application: 11:06:04: Package created. 11:06:04: Installing package to sysroot ... Package 'untitled' installed. 11:06:04: Preparing SFTP connection... 11:06:04: Starting upload... 11:06:04: Failed to upload package: Failure 11:06:04: Deploy step failed. Error while building project untitled (target: Harmattan) When executing build step 'Deploy Debian package via SFTP upload' And a notification warning about the little remaining data storage appeared on the device, which I wrongly ignored at first.

Nseries Nokia N810

I’ve already got the N810, so far I’ve got to say that it’s an awesome device, it’s way smaller than I thought it would be. I had to flash the N810 using the lastest firmware in order to install some applications such as Skype. I was a bit scared of doing it because I had some issues last time I flashed my cell phone, a Sony Ericcson W810i, I fuxored it although I was using Sony’s Official tool to update it, I was unable to use it for a weeks, the time it took me to do read about flashing with some 3rd party tools. ...
