Hi All,
Has anybody found a good VNC client for the XDA II?
At the moment, I have PTvncGPRS, but I'm not desperately keen on it because the display is always fuzzy.
The alternative is a web browser with good java support, since the win VNC server has a web server built in, which supplies a web page with a java applet on it...
Anybody got any good ideas (I don't want to pay through my nose for it though...)?
Cheers!
Phil

What about this?
Thanks for that - it looks like a decent viewer, but I'm having a bit of trouble with it. I can't quite work out what's goind on with clicking and draging. Right click seems to be touch and hold - that's fine, but I seem to be clicking, holding and dragging things when I just want to be moving the mouse...
Can you help me with this? Do you use it yourself? Is there any documentation?
Thanks a lot,
Phil
google is a good way to find that documentation
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
Yes, I have found that page via google myself before, but it doesn't address the issues I mentioned, does it?

I'm new to Windows Mobile, moved from Palm. I did search first.
What is the best FTP program for downloading, editing and uploading html files? I generally just use a text editor and WS_FTP Pro on my PC, and that is suitable functionality for me. I see that Resco has FTP, but I would be willing to buy a standalone better solution.

I use resco, must say I don't f p a lot. It has resume, password settings etc. So it serves my needs.

Continuing FTP client challenges
I need an FTP client that works on WM5 and can handle SFTP/SSH. I tried a couple today from Handango and neither could do it, even though GetitFTP claimed to handle SSL. So I'm renewing this query.
I just did some research on this recently, and came up with nothing. The closest I came was the ancient OpenSSH client that has some kind of file transfer. Probably SFTP. It's pretty much horrible though.
M
Me, too
That was my conclusion as well, and I don't have anything functional. It is a nuisance, since it would be nice to edit simple html on the road.
I use Codeftp 2.5 .

SFTP
Duri:
I went through the manual and found no reference to SFTP, which alas I need. Am I wrong?
FYI - if you're looking for a good free remote access program try logmein.com
it's free and it's compatible with our mogul's. I've used my phone to access information from both my work PC and Home PC on numerous occasions.

VNC is faster.
And open source.
I tried logmein once... it was nice, but I found the interface to be a PITA, and a resource hog in the PC server side.
Also, VNC can let me remote my linux box, my office mac, and my home PC since it is multi-platform. Its cool to show people that I'm running OS X on my Mogul (take THAT, iphone!). This is all stuff logmein, gotomypc, and all the other web-based remote desktop clients won't support.
Those are good for people who don't have the networking knowledge to set up a proper VNC server that can be accessed via a public address.
can you post a link to the viewer you use ? thx!!
I tried VNC once, but I didn't want to waste the time researching and setting it up to be used from anywhere, so I just downloaded Logmein so I could do it easily.

easily, perhaps, but also slower and using more resources on the PC side.
Vertig0, there's a bunch of VNC clients you can use. Some are free (the .net one), but the really good ones are commercial (but still cheap... like $20 for PTVnc, which is the fastest of the bunch).
The only problem I have with logmein is that I auto hide the start menu and it is a ***** to trick it into opening.
First things first, I'm not new to the forum...and I apologize for creating a thread for this!
So I was in the iTunes app store for my iPod Touch and I came across this ultimately cool app: Air Sharing
http://www.avatron.com/products/
This program lets you use the iPhone/iPod Touch as a virtual drive, available with pw protection.
Do any of you know if theres something like this for Windows Mobile Phones? Or if someone is interested in developing something like this?
There are apps that will turn the PDA into a USB disk. I prefer just running a small FTP server on the PDA to dump my files via WiFi whenever I need to.
Now if someone could only port a SSH server as well so I could tunnel traffic though SSH, that be sweet.
really? Do you mind posting up the usb app or something like that?
it's called wmstorage i think the most recent one is 1.8 you should be able to search in dev and hack and find it
what type of device do you have?
wm5 storage works really well, also softick card export will show on pc as usb drive. but these are not wireless.
wow thanks a lot for all the suggestions, though the wireless part of air sharing is totally cool. I'll be sure to look into the suggestions tho
So does anyone know how to make something like air share? I have the touch, since I dont like the iPhone..(weird i know) but the touch uses wifi so it couldnt keep a stable internet connection all the time thus not allowing me access files on it all the time as well..
Any chances a developer out there would take a look into something like this?
a Friend had Airshare on his iphone,
he come to me, had my WLAn Key...
he startet Airshare, give me an Link (from his Iphone)
i write it to my Internet Explorer at PC, and TATA, i can download or Upload Files to the Iphone
needs some seconds Time, that i can Upload Files to Airshare
WOW WOW WOW
this is really cool
i search as well an Ap for WM like Airshare.
Bump this thread, very interested in an app like this, used the air sharing today on an iphone and would love to be able to use my phone as a wireless drive. Ive tried things like mocha ftp and can only send from phone to computer not the other way. Appreciate any help with finding an app for winmo!
Thanks in advance.
edit double post.
I use mocha and I can send from the computer to the phone just fine. If you're having problems doing that, try using a dedicated FTP client like FileZilla.
Here is my good deed of the day:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-serversman.html
I tested, checked for any issues and found none. It literally setups your phone as a server.
However, it a very little known app. Play at your own risk.
Very kind. Thank you for your speedy response. This is why I love XDA Devs.
OK. Slightly delayed response here... However, I'm considering switching back to a WinMo phone and ditching the restricted iPhone... However, I would like to ensure that I have the same functionality on my WinMo as I do with my iPhone, so I'm looking for similar or same apps before I make the switch... Looks like "Air Sharing" has a WinMo comparable app: www . mobile-stream . com / airshare . html ... Mobile Stream's "Air Share"...
Does the mobile-stream work for windows mobile to use it as a secondary monitor for computer?
also I notice its only for bluetooth. Is there on for just using internet ?
Hi there,
does someone happen to know whether there is a free but capable SSH client available for the X1?
When i say "capable" it means that I would like to see the ability to create store and if possible record sessions, provide SSH/SSH2, and that all major keys like ESC, CTRL-C etc. are implemented...
So far I just came across MidpSSH but that was a lil bit too less.
thx alot

Did you try PocketPutty?
Coolz - works!
Here you go:

enjoy
I have to test MobileVT, more complex. Anyway pocketputty works great
hm for me pocketputty takes ages to connect to my Lan server...strange
For me pocket putty doesn't seem to be able to use the space bar, and yes it takes forever to connect to a server, I use MidpSSH its a java app but its supper fast and works very well.

pocketputty doesnt work for me since it doesn seem to be able to type any special chars ... my server passwords have plenty of them an i cant connect.
edit: forget what i said. this version seems to work
for me some issues were related to touchHD keyboard on my italian hw keyboard
Hi all,
I presently am using Shape Services RDM+ to do my remote tasks and although a little cumbersome on the HD2 it does work great, however its the cumbersome bit that is making me wonder what else is out there that 1; WORKS! and 2; Is free or at least a reasonable price (RDM+ is reasonable).
Ones I have tried and they failed miserably are MS's own remote desktop and Symantecs pcAnywhere. The MS creation as usual was nothing but error message after error message and pcAnywhere would connect then disconnect every time so they are both ditched.
RDM+ connects reliably and stays connected and does what I want but it was made for use with a stylus and that's annoying on the HD2. Maybe an update one day will fix this annoyance with it because it really is very good otherwise.
So what else could do the job reliably that also has a finger touch interface designed for our great HD2's?
Thanks for suggestions.
try logmein ignition ...its a great app
I use tightvnc on the PC,then connect to it using androidvnc on the phone.you will get better results using vnc solutions than remote desktop solutions(although they are pretty much the same thing) with the added benefit that windows wont log you off when you connect from the phone using vnc,meaning you can use the phone as a remote and see the results on the PC monitor.with remote desktop you can't be logged in at the PC and at the phone.even with the concurrent logins hack which would allow this,you wouldn't see the same things on each screen.
Summary get tightvnc for PC and androidvnc from market.
there's also zaDekstop, which seem bit old but is: 1. free 2. more convenient than WM's Remote Desktop,

I gave logmein a go the other day and it would not install successfully to my Vista PC.
I might give it another go, ignition does not seem to offer a winmo6.5 version but worth a shot anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks mate.
