Does anyone know of something similar to TSC that will allow me to remotely connect to my desktop & transfer files as well as view the desktop?
Mike
dont know of any app, but try:
1. Using the remote desktop to email it to the device
2. Use TSC to download, and WIFI explorer to copy the device independently of the TSC
I dont believe the TSC will map back to local drives.
What is the wifi browser?
wm5 file explorer allows you to map a network and connect to a pc. shared folder.
alternatively total commander allows this.
resco explorer (a vital app anyway) is much easier to do this.
then you can wifi browse/explore network folders, cut copy and paste is also allowed.

I'm new to windows mobile, but been using my P3600 for 2 weeks and the thing that is anoying is not being able to run files directly from a network path. (the lack of a task manager was more anoying but it's solved).
I want to be able to browse fotos on a network path, or run a cab file on a network without having to copy files to device or storage card.
Do I need a 3rd party software? Can I map a location to a drive?
Pretty sure that a 3rd party app. is necessary; at least I've never seen a way to do what you want without a such.
Resco Explorer is an example of such an app. It has the functionality to allocate and access a shared drive on e.g. a PC: http://www.resco.net/
There are probably other apps. that can do the same, but I have only used Resco myself.
I've tried Resco but could never get it to find my computer....Is there anyway of setting a workgroup name within resco?
Thanks

Just to be sure what you mean:
When you say that Resco can't find your computer, does this mean that the computer is not shown under 'My Network'?
I can't actually see my computer under 'My Network', but when I use the 'Map Drive...' option, then it shows up under 'Computers Near Me', and in the window under the 'Map Drive...' there is also the possibility to enter the network path for the shared drive, i.e. like \\MYPC\drive, and then press the 'Share' button after which I'm promted for the user and password to use for logging on to the PC.
I have never had to use a Workgroup name to make it work.
Yea it doesant show in the box but when i type in where its located
\\MAIN\Shared
It comes up with cannot map network path.
Ive got it fine uisng my laptop to my main pc using the above (\\MAIN\Shared)
Just cant seem to get it to map the drive within resco...I thought it would of had something to do with the workgroup.
Thanks anyways
ill keep trying see if i can get it to work.
Just a thought:
Are you sure that the phone and the PC are in the same IP subnet?
Ahhhh....How would i find this out......is it something along the lines of 255.255
I've set it to auto detect within resco......i suspect this may be the problem
Thanks
You can find the IP address of the phone in Start->Settings->Connections->Wireless LAN under the Advanced tab.
If you compare it to the IP address of the PC, then the first 3 parts of the addresses should be the same for them to be in the same subnet.
Ahh got it to work now that was the problem ...thanks alot Its much appreciated

Look for NetUse in the list.
"It allows you to freely browse your local network on your Pocket PC. Basically it does the same thing Resco viewer does, but for free."
With resco is it possible to play audio files from a network with WMP?
Not that I have spend a lot of time trying, but I haven't been able to play an audio file from a network drive with WMP.
It seems to me that WMP can't actually access such a drive, but as mentioned, I haven't spend much time with WMP since I'm using TCPMP, and with this it certainly is possible to play a file on a network drive.
Staying with netuse
I'm using netuse, and it's just what I needed and I recommend it to everybody that doesn't need all the features resco has, because it's a free solution.
Anyway WMP or builtin photo viewer can't access files on network. I need to use another video player and picture viewer.
can someone post a guide for netuse
Netuse doesn't work for me, it sees my MSHOME network but i can acces a path.
gr jeroen
using netuse
You just add the adress of shared folders on your network (as you would in a desktop computer) and those folders apear as local subfolders on a network folder on the device.
- On options "show the network folder" should be enable and you can type in your default domain (should work without it).
- If you're not able to access folders anyway it's probably a network problem ( firewall, etc.)

hey.
on my Dopod, how do i enable my other computers to view folders and files on the pocket pc ???
what ip and settings do i need to do ??
i can view files and folders from the dopod but how do i view it from my pc ????
cheers
Do you want network shares, or just file level access?
Personally I'd run an FTP server on your PDA and connect through.
V
Agree....
I run an FTP server on the PPC when I need to access quickly from the desktop. That works great.
how do i do that ???
Google for Freefloat FTP Server, I think it will help. I was searching for the access too, and it helped so good luck.
By the way, its freeware so wont be hard to find.
Is is possible to watch the folders from the PC that i have in the pocket if it is wifi connected?. As a network drive or something similar. I know that i can see the PC from the pocket but y i want the pocket from PC. Obviously activeSync is not connected an d i don't want. Unless somebody has discover how to connect it via WIFI ;-) on WM6.
Thanks
use TOTAL COMMANDER.
its a great application for regedit, file explorer and LAN, as well as FTP

Isnt Total Commander a Pocket PC Application? The question was about viewing the Pocket PC's files from the PC.
And BTW nobody should be bothering with Total Commander.Just use Resco Explorer. Its a much better program.
Total Commander = free
Resco Explorer = $30.00
sigh, you guys, he does NOT need a file explorer on his pocketpc. he wants to see the files, that are on the ppc, on his desktop pc. also, lordwin, please be more specific next time when you make a post, like instead of just saying "pocket" to describe your pda, you could have used anything like "phone", "pda", "ppc", "pocketpc", or whatever. it is difficult to understand your post and thus difficult to help answer the question you have.
Anyway, from what i can understand from your post, the only solution is to have your phone connected via Activesync, and in the Activesync window (on the desktop pc), click the "Explore" button. you'll then be viewing the contents of your pocketpc.
I am in the same boat. I am looking for a way to map my Windows Mobile device as a network drive on my LAN when it is connected via WiFi.
Nobody knows of an app to do this?
A very simple way is to run a FTP server on your pocketpc, like the free mochaftp, and then set your WIFI router up so your pocketpc will always have a fixed IP number.
Then a simple desktop ftp shortcut should take your desktop explorer to your pocketpc. The nice thing about Mochaftp is that the root of your PDA is also the root of the ftp site, so you can copy to your memory cards as easily as anywhere else.

Resco explorer allows accessing and mapping network shares.

resco also allows FTP access, which is probably better, as the network share requires you to be on the same network (for example connected to your wireless network)
FTP can be accessed anywhere you have data connection but requires you to be running FTP software on your computer.
FTP is very easy to setup and use and will allow you to have access to any file folder that you choose on your PC (handy to have a choice of over 30gig of music to listen to )
Schaps Network plugin. Google it.
Ftp looks great
thank you
or use total commander it can browse your network share files...

I have Resco Explorer 2010, paid for.
Also Total Commander CE, which someone mentioned.
GSFinder+ as well.
Yet, I cannot figure out how to do that.
Connected to my home network via wi-fi. The PC's hard drives are set up to be shared. One PC can access the files of another.
I can't figure out how the HD2 can see the PC's files. Can anyone give me exact directions, using any of the tools mentioned?
--------------
Also, conversely, is there a way to set up the HD2 for file sharing, so that the PC can access it via the wi-fi network?
is there a way to use the Desire to browse through shared folders on my other computers on the network?
Currently i only found some FTP based apps, though that wont work on "foreign" networks. mostly windows based.
ideally i would like to be able to browse a addresses like
\\PC_Stabby\D_drive\Awesomestuff\anotherapp.apk
\\PC_Stabby\E_drive\andyetitmoves\superawesomeanimation.mp4
\\PC_Stabby\C_drive\seriousbusiness\seriousdoc.doc
is there any app or method (that i might have overlooked) that can achieve this?
For Windows , the sharing protocol is Samba (SMB)
I use ES / EStrongs File Explorer, it's free and support SMB, it's developed by a Chinese guy.
For Apple Bonjour sharing protocol just look for "bonjour" on the market.
For Linux you should use SCP over SSH.
Yeah I alos use EStrongs File explorer.
Just make sure your folders are shared on your pc
Anyone managed to connect to a windows share IP\Sharename with Domain\Username login with EStrongs?
I just connect directly to the NAS (so to the root IP, not a specific share name) with domain/user with ES and access all the shares from there.

Doesn't solve the problem for me ==> estrongs keeps saying "share not found or it takes too long to get folder list" (my translation).
