Is it possible, to create and share ressources on the pda ( \storage) and access the ressource from the home pc?
Did you ever come up with a solution to this?
I would love to do this so I do not have to carry flash drives or a laptop with me. My storage card is big enough to carry most of my files that I need. I have installed Resco Explorer and been able to map drives on the network but I need to go the other way and map to the PDA or at least access it over the wifi using UNC.

I use Mocha WMFTP that creates a FTP server of the pda and Totalcommander to see the FTP resources... I could be a good compromise..
Bye
Thanks for quick answer
That should work, I will give it a try.

It's a simple enough question but after a lot of looking there doesn't seem to be a readily available answer.
I have seen many programs that allow you to access network drives in the program over wi-fi and you can click and open files from within there and any associated programs run it.
What I can't seem to find is a network share type of approach where you make a network drive available in file explorer (say like Storage Card) so you can access files easier.
For example I can't see a way of playing more than one music track over the network without having a share you can create playlists from in the player
Typical - I've just found out that Resco Explorer seems to 'fill that gap'
Odd - Total commander put the directory there but it's empty --- share in Resco and the files appear
Great!
I'm still intrigued to know where it gets it's user ID and password because it seems to know one of mine and if I disable that ID in windows it can't access the server ???????????
Hi mate can you tell me how to set up a network ...i have braodband connection and i can connect my jam using wifi and surf the net....but i am not able to sertup a network between my computer and jam so that i can view files and play music!!!
Would be great if you could give me a step my step procedure!!...thanks
Sorry if you know what shares and stuff is - but here goes:
Download something like resco explorer from resco.net and install it on your pocket pc
On your pc in file explorer right click on the folder you want to access then properties then sharing then share this folder and give it a name (say for example "name")
On the Resco program on the Pocket PC tap the 'hand under the box' icon - bottom right ; then map drive - now hopefully you should see your computer under 'computers near me' - click on it and you should see your share ('name') type these details in the box above \\server\name then click on share ( I don't know why but it only worked for me this way - clicking on the share in the drop down list didn't) - NOTE: 'server' = the name your pc you are trying to connect has --- the one shown in the list above the shares
Now this share will be available under network in the resco file explorer
The bonus is if you now go to something a little cleverer than media player - like tcpmp you will be able to type \\'server'\'name' into the top box of open file and access the network directly --- create playlists too
Only drawback is I found you need at least 400MHz PPC to stand a chance of playing audio OK directly from the network
As a final note drives on computers can have hidden shares denoted by $ there is also and admin hidden share set-up by windows that is the drive letter. This means you should be able to access the whole of your network drive by accesing share - 'Drive letter'$ ... For C this would be \\'server'\c$
file shares
is there any known tool for WM5 that will allow you to export a WM5 directory over the network? That would indeed be handy, especially if you have two people with such phones and no laptop to act as an intermediary system to share directories, not just individual files.
Yes I know that individual file sharing can happen by beaming it, but that is slow and cumbersome, being able to export an entire directory would be much more handy.

Thank you for this, I've been trying to work this out for a while, exactly what I needed is right here
Only problem I'm having is that I just don't seem to be able to see Samba shares on my Linux Server, all my other Windows PC's can see them just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Mark.
Are any of you interested in an App that allows you to access your Desktop PC's FileSystem(The complete File System), TaskManagement, etc... on your Mobile Device?
Well, yes!
I'll access only shared folders via Resco Explorer, but it's not very cool...
hi,
you can use HTC Network PlugIn for File Explorer.

actually, im interested in the opposite idea.
i want to access my PPC's whole filesystem, through SMB protocol in my PC (for example: \\pocket_pc\Program Files\Resco\...), using WiFi or even BT PAN...
what I mean is the whole file system... not just the shared folders.
I asked because I'm doing such an app for personal use. So just wanted to know whether I should expand the app.

I think it is a very good idea. Please release the app.
there is a vm network browser u can access the shared drives on ur ppc ...
read this about doing the opposite to what the OP wants (sorry to divert the thread, i actually want to get it back on track by moving discution about this in another thread)

I have used logmein and remote desktop succesfully have created a vpn and connected but have not found a succesful way to read and write files on a remote computer or drive. I couldn't even see computers through the vpn but the host computer aknowledged the connection if anyone has any clue what direction i need to go to figure this out it would be very helpful.
thanks
two options;
1) Check your firewall
2) Check if you share your files correctly and that they are writable by other network users.
have you succesfully pulled this off and viewed the other computers on the network or the hosts drive and if so what program did you use to view the drives thanks for the quick response
This seems to be a problems for all I guess... no solution so far... =S

i feel like their has to be a program that will view network drives or browse them like network manager on your pc does i just hate how unadvanced total commander or any of the mappers out their are makes it harder for me to trouble shoot.
Does anyone know of a program that can do this? There is one for the iphone called "air sharing" my boss uses it, its pretty handy since i always forget to bring a mini usb cable into work with me and the one i keep in work always goes missing for days at a time.

If anyone can make something like this or knows of anything already out there id appreciate it very much.
^Thanks
You could always run a ftp server on your phone like mochaftp (which is freeware).
Another way, which requires no extra software, is bluetooth ftp, and that integrates well with vista desktops/ laptops.

2 words for you My friend:
Total Commander.
It has a build in LAN explorer(pluginns) that deeply browses you network. Plus you get all the goodys such as cut, paste, move and full access to files over your LAN.
It does work better and faster than the fruitphone crap, and its free.
Greets.
I use Resco Explorer (prefer it to total commander - but it isnt free)
lets you map permanent connections to a network share. and they can be made available to other apps on the phone too.
Resco Explorer has network and file sharing capabilities

Ok, I have total commander but i have no idea how to get this LAN thing working, anychance of a link to some instructions or a video with how to on it?
Thanks
Sorry for borrowing you thread but what about some software that works the other way around? I mean like enabling Wifi on your diamond and then you could access it from your laptop like ad-hoc and then see the files on the diamond from your laptop?
Using Resco or total commander lets him grab desktop files FROM his device, but wont let him easily transfer files TO the device, unlike Airshare.
In fact, to read a network share from your smartphone you dont need any 3rd party software at all. Just go to PIE and type in file://<networkname>/
e.g. file://mydesktop/
in the address bar, and you will be browsing your network shared folders.

Hi how can i share via wifi pc directories with my hd2? Setup/instructions? programs? Thanks!
You can map drives over to your HD2 in order to view video's and play mp3's ect... Get Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/ ) as it has a Network Browser that will allow you to view your network and map drives.

running resco explorer seen network item but i couldn´t get connection to my pc name and a shared directory (ex. \\pcname\$c) must i disable firewalls or anything else to get communication established?
Normally you'll need to disable the firewall on your system (if it's running windows firewall as it does sometimes affect the connection).
Just double checking the method that you are using to connect, with Explorer open do the following:
Click on Menu - File -Network - Map Drive. Now give a few moments and it should show you a list of "Computers Near Me". Once you see your computer you should be able to click the plus sign next to it and automatically see all of it's shares.
Also just to double check, you should be trying to connect to "\\pcname\C$" and not \\pcname\$C" although i'd recommended not going for the root of your drive and just mapping a different shared folder.
I am sharing files from a NAS over LAN too. Using Resco Explorer 2010 to browse the files works great for me. Actually, being able to browse Windows share is the reason I paid for Resco Explorer.
If you have another PC, try confirming you can really access the share from another Windows PC.
Thanks a lot i will give a try and response with results ;-))
I use resco, and although I can manually map shares buy typing in \\comp\drive, and they stay mapped and work fine, I've never yet managed to get resco to actually list the shares in the my network section. no idea why, all my machines are discoverable etc.
