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?

logmein works on all wm phones, eespecially my 8525.
I have mine set to widescreen at home, and it looks great w/my rectangular screen (as opposed to treo).
Where are you having a problem?
i use realVNC on my home pc and vnc ppc viewer on my 8525... its free and works great!

If you want to stick strictly with VNC, go for the new PT Pocket Office.
BTW, I'll publish a BIG roundup & article of all these issues in the near future.

What does exactly happen? When does it refuse to run? Please elaborate - I know everything about all these services and remote access.
i seem to remember reading somewhere that it only works with an unmodified pocket internet explorer. It certainly works on my vario II.

It's indeed faster than other free VNC viewers but still consumes about 3 times more bandwidth than commercial solutions.

bandwidth for me isnt a concern, unlimited data plan plus a 6megx768k dsl line into my house... but do commercial solutions offer the same amount of control as VNC? just curious cause i do run a private FTP server out of my house and like the ability of total remote control over my pc when i am away... i believe i tried logmein.com about 4-5 months ago and dumped it, dont remember why, maybe cause i had to pay, but thats when i found a beta ppc version of RealVNC and have used that ever since.

PT offers built-in file transfer in the latest Pocket Office version and the author also promises clipboard synchronization. It's also much faster and consumes about 3 times less bandwidth.
Hopefully, I'll be able to publish my roundup of all remote access solutions the day after tomorrow - I'm still trying to hack the H/PC .NET RDC client (it's WAY more advanced than the native one on the Pocket PC) to the PPC.

What's exactly the problem? Do NOT trey to use it with RealVNC servers - it won't work. Use PTeSVNC instead.
Also, the config options are a bit overwhelming at first - I'll, of course, elaborate a LOT on them in my forthcoming roundup.

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.
If someone could help please. I have used the google search on this site and just google itself to no avial. Here is what I am looking for.
On my friends iphone he has a process by which he can access his home computer as long as it is online and gain file access to every folder in the pc. Kind of like ORB but it is a phone based application. He can then open those folders and download any content to the phone. Basically, it is a remote desktop type file search with out all the other unnecessary desktop controls.
I have seen many different possibilities from freeware to paid but non of them seem centered around using finger/thumb control and Over the Air. Programs from Resco, Total Commander, Orb etc....
It would be nice to have a Finger Friendly Application that will access a network like Orb, without having to do so manually through the pocketie, and display corresponding files to the Orb networked Host PC. Basically a stand alone file explorer that is finger friendly to access folders on a host machine OTA. I would not see a need for it to stay connected all the time and keep eating up data. Just more like an initialization that grabs the available folders. Then connect as you search further or download to save on the data. Something not so heavy or clunky. Infact, if Orb would create a PocketPC UI for their program that was thumb friendly that would be great!!! Hint...Tene, A_C etc....LOL!!
I noticed that WinAmp of all programs used Orb to access host files. So, maybe something like that general file access.

SoonR (soonr.com) allows you to do that, not finger friendly though, but, it is a freeware.

Checked it out. Didn't see a downloadable PPC UI to access the network. It didn't seem all that much different then using Orb as it is now. Orb is as it is, is a little friendlier.
Looking for a PPC UI.
I use RDM+ for that.
It opens up a desktop view but you can quickly go into the menu and pull up a file manager which allows for quick upload and download of files.

Ok, answered my on question. RDM=Remote Desktop tool of some kind. Again, this is an option. But I would like to keep these options down to a simple interface as possible.
Basically a stand alone file explorer that is finger frindly and access folders on a host machine OTA. I would not see a need for it to stay connected all the time and keep eating up data. Just more like and initialization that grabs the available folders. Then connect as you search further or down load to save on the data.
If there is a UI that uses the Orb network out there that is probably the best.

It is a desktop PC application that you install and select folders that you want to access remotely, and then using an internet browser (desktop or pocket) you can access these folders from anywhere.

I understand how Orb works. I use it as it is. But in order to access it from the PPC you have to use PocketIE. Looking for a PocketPC UI not a desktop UI..
Thanks,
Curious G
You could just set up an FTP server on your desktop and then use Resco Explorer or Total Commander to access it.
give Mocha's FTP server a shot..Its a Phone Based App which makes you phone an FTP server and you can acess it Globally

I'm wondering if there's any program that allows me to "browse" the network I connect to with WIFI. I've been trying to use Total Commander mobile for it, but there doesn't seem to be any support. As I use quite a big home network including NAS and servers it would be nice to be able to access them through my PDAphone. I'm using a workgroup at home. Who can point me in the right direction?
Edit: A small addition; I have searched the forum for more information and - although it has been mentioned - there's not much information to find. The only thing I did find is that Total Commander *should* be able to do it, in which case someone has to teach me how ^^
I prefer resco explorer, it works pretty well, it also has ftp plugin available
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp#network
fwiw if you want a whole heap of decent software for very cheap become a plus member at modaco, paul has a deal with plenty of software houses that allow him to give software such as resco explorer to his plus members..
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=announce&f=304&id=2
It's worth it for resco explorer, flexmail, sprite backup and pocket informant alone..

For Resco explorer, you don't need the FTP plugin if yr NAS support windows networking. You can search by workgroup or simply connect by IP address
yep indeed, I was highlighting the ftp plugin as it's the best I've found on winmo. ;P
Alright, I will try resco then and let you know how it turns out.

This program is completly free, i would love some feedback. I know the program is not perfect yet, and as i got a bit more time now id love to be able to improve it based on feedback.
nice app , thanks for sharing it with us

Thank you very much for your application, I've searched for an ftpserver for long... unfortunally on my Trinity WM6.5 (chanvi ultralight) it doesn't start.
I hope in other feedback so I can realize if it's my device's problem or not (I've installed the .NET CF)
You might want to give Total Commander a try:

It has a FTP client built into it that works really well for me.

If you're looking for a FTP server rather than a client then try MochaSoft's freeware FTP server (if you haven't already!). It's pretty good and you can't argue with free
The Windows Mobile version of Total Commander is free. The full PC version is shareware though.
ftp w/ ssl?
any ftp client that supports explicit SSL/TLS?

Thank you for the tip. I had already tried it but i wasn't able to insert the freeware license key, because some troubles with my keypad i supposed...
I'll try one more time now with wm6.5, maybe i can register it...
I installed this and it looked good, but now when I try to run it I just get the busy cursor for about 5 seconds then nothing - the app fails to launch.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling - same thing happens (ie nothing).
I've tried uninstaling, deleting the program files folder and reinstalling - same.
Is there maybe something in the registry that's tripping it up?
I get no errors when I uninstall or reinstall, the app just doesn't start up when I try to run it. (I've tried running from the lin kin 'Programs' and direct for the directory where it installs, and have tried installing on internal storage and onto my SD card).
Would really like to use this, but no joy at the moment.

Hi,
I'm unable to get that soft to work, it doesn't list all files & folders on all the FTP site I connect to, I always also obtain error messages.
There is also no Exit button or menu entry....
Does anyone get this soft to work as it should ?

I discovered there was a bug with filezilla ftp servers ( Blame or them.. but basicly they for some reason think its importent to include the name of the ftp server when saying what type of directory listing its using).
Hopefully there will be a update next week that fixes this. If you know what type of ftp server you where failing against can you let me know?
