I tend to use less almost all the time for viewing files, irrespective of whether I'm doing that on a remote or local server. I'd never used the filter option using the &searchstring, thanks for that tip.

Thanks for sharing. Another thing I found is that for different versions of Android, you need to choose a different option on the USB connection in your phone.

That's neat! Thanks.

This is okay for personal or test use. To include error handling, I would typically use expect - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect.
