Hi,
From my PDA I can access the internet over the USB connection by having pass through on activesync set to the internet on the PC.
I would like to be able to access shared folders on my PC from my PDA over the USB connection. Is this possible. If it has to go over activesync that's ok.
BTW: My PDA is a Magician.
Thanks,
Stekke.
Z2 PocketLan
Best way is through 3rd Party software Z2 PocketLan, will even create shortcuts. Will work over wifi, BT, Activesync etc as use it at home to stream music to PDA
the new total commander is also good
totalcommander explicitely states in the faq that over USB through active sync is not supported.
I've tried pocketlance but can't get it to connect.
Other suggestions?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it possible to browse my wifi connected Wizard (O2 mini S - latest O2 ROM) from my PC...
Ie i would like to be able to open window to my documents on my phone on my PC to copy file etc...
Thanks in advance!
Yes, but you will need some third party software, such as Resco Explorer, to 'map' the folders you want to access across the network.
Thanks for your quick reply, however i meant if/how is it possible to browse the files on the wizard from the PC over wifi network, not the other way around.
Cheers
lo thought i would try helping.
if you downgrade your active sync on your pc 2 or 3 releases it supports syncing via wifi.... the newer ones it was disabled on for some daft reason.
it may be enabled on the new beta version i dunno.
anyway if your pc was synced to it you certainly can view the my documents folder. also by bluetooth in any version of active sync, just need a bluetooth dongle for ur comp.
hopw that helps
I don't think you can downgrade with WM5, I believe that you need Active Sync 4.1 and above.
I can't think of a way to browse the PPC on a wireless network which is a good thing for security.
hi, have you tried pocket controller? you can control your ppc from the pc via wifi.

hi, ill keep it simple, is there a way to sync my device to my pc through wifi, for faster file transfer.
i heard it can be done on old active sync on xp, but id like to do it over wifi if possible.
cheers
Hi,
since actrivesync 4 there is no possibility any more to sync via WIFI.
HOWEVER you don't need activesync to transfer files. I use total commander to address the lan drive and just copy.
im newbie
how to transfer files from pc to ppc and vv through wifi?
I use totalcommander on both the pocketpc and the pc. If memory serves me right, you would need a plugin on the PC, but you can find that on www.totalcmd.com
Oops, when you use totalcommander at the PC, you would need a activesync connection. the pocket pc version supports both activesync and wireless.
There is no way to see PPC files on PC without ActiveSync because it does not have the necessary server components, but for PPC to PC total commander is definitely the way to got (you would only need it on the PPC).
use this its great.

u can also use MobileExplorer from Mymobiler.com.
Sure there it is possible so see the files of PPC on PC without Activesync. Use FTP Server on PPC and just browse with FTP Client through WiFi on PPC
Hi,
I am trying to stop using Active Sync, it seems to slow everything down tremendosly. I use My Mobiler connection via IP to run PIM on my desktop. I was looking for a way to sync files and seems wm5torage is the only application that would do it w/o AS present.
However, the moment I activate wm5torage My Mobiler loses connection. It seems wm5torage re-sets device's IP address to 0.0.0 "dummy" address. I was trying to set it back to no avail. If I de-activate wm5torage I can connect again.
So,
1) is there a way to have both programs running simultaneously ?
2) if not is there a file syncing application that doesn't need AS ?
Thanks !
I use TotalCommander and if memory serves me I have added a plugin which let the PPC show up in the network page of TC. Maybe you can also use TC on the PPC and make a wireless network connection.
i ever used wm5torage but it also didnt work, softick card export is better
try
You cant use booth programs at the same time.
Cause WM5Storage activates PDA in USB mode and simulates pendrive storage.
It disabling the connection with activesync and other programs to sync/connecting with PC.
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks all who replied.
I ended up figuring out how to connect SOTI Pocket Controller, which I also own, in TCP/IP mode - something I wasn't able to do before. So I am using its sync manager to sync files, for now (although I don't like it nearly as much as MobSync so I may end up re-enabling AS just for that).
I am using the my mobiler apps to control the phone via computer..however The gprs connection will be disconnected everytime i plug the cable data...
can anyone provide me with some help pls?
Hi!
Is there a way to connect diamonds internal storage as hard drive via bluetooth? Just the way it does when you connect via USB.
Armin
SOLVED: Use Mocha FTP Server on diamond and connect via netdrive by Wifi - not bluetooth. Then sync with MS Sync Toy is possible.
I haven't done it myself but I suspect if you connect via Active sync (WMDC) over bluetooth you will be able to do this!
Can anyone else comment on this?
UPDATE:
I gave it a shot & the answer is yes. You can connect via Bluetooth+Activesync & open "internal storage" to browse / read & write.
you can also enable bluetooth file sharing under bluetooth pref. then you can select "browse bluetooth" in your computer. btw: bluetooth would be really really slow.
you can search for "network plugin" in this forum and download the cab. This will enable you to share a folder on your phone to the network and basically do the same thing over wifi.
The network plugin sounds interesting
...where can I get the latest version?
Is there a more straightforward way than googling?
To links are from March (Build 29714).

Syncing with Mocha FTP Server?
Unfortunately Network Plugin does not show diamonds folders on my computer. It only works the other way round.
Mocha FTP Server does it.
But Microsoft SyncToy can not sync FTP servers.
Are there alternatives recommended?

Thanks for mentioning that Bluetooth is very slow. So I can skip this.
