Hi folks,
I'm considering getting an XDA Exec.
I wanted to check something...
I have a wireless network at home (Netgear 54mbps router, two PCS and a laptop connecting wirelessly).
Am I right in thinking I can connect the XDA to the wireless network and then both access the internet with that conection, as well as access files on the home network?
For example, could I be sitting in the lounge with the XDA Exec and surf the net with no data charges using the wireless network? Also, could I access a video file on the network and watch it on the XDA? Or an audio file for that matter?
Best,
CDC
guess you could do \\Network resources name\videofile.ext
or easier way is to use total commander it's free
yea, i do it all the time with my exec, i use resco explorer to access files on the network

I use resco also, but here is a question. is there anyway to get windows to pick up the XDA in my network places on a windows XP machine? as my xda picks up my xp machine fine. but it wont do vice versa?

by 'Network resources name', I take it you mean the IP address of the machine where the file(s) are located + the path to the file?
I have Total Commander on my XDA Exec, so how do I go about accessing the files with that?
Hey
I've had my Orange SPV 3100 for about a week and a half now. 1st impressions is great. Just awaiting for the microSD to be delivered (Tight gits Orange dont provide one in the box ) to take full advantage of the M3100's capabilities.
Anyways
I've been accessing the web through my home wi-fi set up but what I really want to do is be able to access my files on my PC thru my M3100 using wi-fi rather than being conected using the USB and vice versa. Ideally i want to be able to copy files between the two. I've searched on this forum and others but havent come across anything yet I was just wondering if this was possible and how I'd go about doing it.
Thanks in Advance
All Help Appreciated.
Yeah, I"m interested in this too.
I have googling few days with different queries for accessing PPC files over WiFi, but without success.
The only software I have found which can access files from PPC over WiFi is SOTI Pocket Controller Pro, but it is far from ideal (e.g. cannot map PPC folder to drive on desktop PC) so you can only copy/move files between this app and windows explorer. Using file managers like Total Commander isn"t possible or other software (e.g. sync software) which access data by drive letters.
Second solution which I have is to set up FTP server on PPC (like ShareIT FTP Server) and use ftp-to-drive software on desktop PC, but I havn"t test this yet). In this case using Total Commander and other file managers would be possible, but I havn"t yet test this.
The last possible solution would be sharing desktop PC folder as an virtual storage card with microsoft network file sharing service and accessing it from PPC by apps like PocketLAN - but this is accessing PC"s files from PPC - which is not point of interest of this thread.
So finally, I havn"t found easy way to access PPC storage over WiFi.
Anyone have other ideas?
Dears:
I need your kind support to guide me to the way that i can exchange files between two pocket PCs using wi-fi as we do by using bluetooth
thanks and waiting your kind reply
the only way i have been able to browse files on another pc/laptop is by using resco explorer which allows you to map a network drive and then browse that folder,
as of yet im not come across a way of either browing files direct from one PDA to another over WIFI, il keep an eye out on google see if there is any app that will allow you to do this,
keep us posted
Ive got a drive with music videos and cabs for windows mobile on my dvd dulicator pc (XP SP2) , im trying to make these files accessable to my XDA Stellar via wifi .
Ive been looking for tutorals for the last few days the ones ive found are horribly outdated and incompatible with WM6 . But they seem to revolve aound activesync a shared folder and an adhoc connection .
Has anyone managed to do something like this with WM6 ?
I use Resco Explorer 2008, and you can map shared network folders and drives without using activesync, just by being connected to the network by wifi. Press 'map drive', and it searches all local computers for shared folders. Resco isn't free, but it has a 7-day trial you can test.
Hi everyone.
After searching through the forums, I couldn't get any satisfactory answer.
1) I have THD and Elfin - both WM devices. My question here is, how can I transfer files ( like Fotos, M$ office Documents, Music etc. ) using WiFi or to be precise WLAN? I do not wish to use Wireless internet to send files....I mean to say, without using any thrid wireless device, how can I enable file sharing between these two devices??
I have checked out Resco file explorer and Total Commander. None of them provide option of FTP over WLAN/WiFi.
2) Similarly, how can I transfer files between my WiFi enabled Laptop and THD/Elfin???
Is there any setting to be changed in existing devices, any 3rd party application?? or is it a call for Developers?
Big Thanks Ahead.

I preffer FTP protocol as there are many clients on Windows/Linux. On my blackstone I use Mocha FTP Server (freeware). Total Commander CE does support FTP (only as a client). Transfer rates are rather slow.

Thanks Guys....that was really quick. Just 1 question though - does this method solves my first problem - file sharing between two WM6/6.1 devices using WiFi ???
Thanks Again.

Well yeah, you can browse to a network share with e.g. Total Commander. So it should work once set up properly. Going to try this myself!!
Pardon me if I'm asking for too much.....can we have something like VoIP or to be precise, a radio communicator using such 'WiFi/WLAN between 2 WM devices'? It will be fun to communicate with friends in a 'trucker' style within WiFi range - 10-4 ?

Dude this one dosent seems to be working with WM 6 (for my Elfin) [at least the link says so ] Can you please confirm?
Thanks ahead
True... I cannot install it on my blackstone...
Yes you can....I have installed it on my Blackstone and me Elfin too (after upgrading Elfin to 6.1). And it works.
However, I am still not able to transfer files (using WLAN) between my Elfin and blackstone. Any ideas on that??
Thanks Ahead
Hi guys,
I am extreamly happy to say that i have been able to share files from one windows mobile to another windows mobile that too at the speed of up 450kbps.
i had been trying to do this for atleast 2.5 months with no luck(u may check the related topics, nobody had a idea, Even using xda, google, bing, yahoo, altavista found that nobody has done it before...) but yesterday i made it to work the way i wanted to.
All you need to do is create a adhoc connection(e.g P2P) and download FTP server (Yes your mobile will act as a FTP server) and FTP client.
For FTP server download mochasoft and for FTP Client download resco.
**Once you install resco 2008, go to menu-->options-->addins--> then download ftp plugging(and it will make resco to work as a ftp client)
Mobile A
Start--->settings-->connections-->add new ->name it p2p-->select the option "this is a device-to-device connection(adhoc)...once it is done, turn on wifi on Mobile B it will detect this connections, connect to it.....Now two mobiles are connected with each other via wifi(Without router).....Till this point you can find it in google.
Now to share files open mocha soft on Mobile A(It will show that it is "online" with a specific IP address(Note down this ip address), Anonymous login will be on but preferabaly create a user name (File--->settings--> Add[*give it a read/write permission]) and the password.
Then decide for yourself what exactly you wanna share with the other mobile, in this example i am going to share my SD CARD. Go to file -->settings--> other--> and in the "Login Folder:" put in "\\storage card"
Once that's done open up resco ftp on Mobile B. Go to My ftp locations-->New ftp session--Give a name to ftp session (like abcd), In the host type in the ip address address that you noted down earlier--> let the port 21-->Login:ut in the username that you created-->Password: put in the password
and Hey there you go!!!, you will have the Sd Card of Mobile A and you will be working on it as if it is in your own mobile..
....Cont...
On mobile A moccha will notify you that a user has logged on to your server. You can use all FTP commands on mochasoft.
I downloaded the 700Mb movie which was stored in my frnds mobile while we were having beer and it got downloaded at the speed of 450kbps(it started off with 350kbps and was fluctuating from 380 to 450kbps), Just before doing this i tried to copy a 10mb file using bluetooth and resco showed the speed 20kbps........
So next time when you go out to meet your frnds you can transfer all their stuff at the lightning speed via WIFI file sharing......
Good Luck!!
If i got to settings connetions i can only create a modem or VPN connection..nothing with ad hoc..what am i missing?
If I remember correctly, you set up an adhoc network as if you were to enter a custom network with a hidden ssid. You enable wifi and go to the screen where it shows the available networks. There you can add a new network and tick this is an adhoc connection.
Also, since adhoc connections have no dhcp server, it is best to work with fixed ip addresses.
