can we share files using the WI-FI betweent two pocket PCs - Networking

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

How to set up a WiFi network?

Hi,
I have a WiFi Netgear DG834GT 108 Mbps Router. No problem with internet access...but I would like to share files with my PC. How can I do? What SW should I need on my JJ and hoe to set router and JJ both to get them work?
THX so much for any help!
the easiest way is to use something like Resco File Explorer, an advanced version of the bundled file exploroer in WM5.
It costs about 20 dollars i believe.
Once installed, map your network drive to your home network and it should see it and file transfer will then be possible, as long as your shared folders are correct etc, as per any network

Thx for your reply,
I just want to use Resco File Explorer plug in called "My Network"...but it doesn't map any drive. I also have tried to change JJ setting in "configure network Adapters/My network card connects to" from "the internet" to "Work", but coming back to RescoExpl. and trying to Map Drive option, it didn't find anything once again.
Please help me with config if you can.
THX a lot!
ok, you have resco file explorer, so open it up, hold your styli on the My Network tab on left, and select map drive. A new window will open as it searches for your home network/pc shared foler etc. if it fails to find it like that, check you 'Hive' PC's name and make sure you have a folder selected to Share. Try that and let me know. (PS make sure wifi is on first on both exec and router!)
Thank you very much I DID IT!
:lol:
Well Done!!! Thats great glad to help, now enjoy streaming your music and videos to your exec whilst in the bath/garden/sofa!!
My good friend...
can you help me to let my JasJar print via WiFi??? In other words, is it possible to launch a print from JasJar via WiFi, by shareing my PC printer?
Am I asking too much?
:wink: :wink: :wink:
Hey hey!
aha! The only way i have ever done it unfortunatley is through terminal services client. So, open say, a word document from either your server PC or on your pocket PC, and save back to the shared on your desktop on your server PC and then via Terminal Services remote desktop and open the doc from your JJ screen and send to print from you server PC!
Long winded I know, anyone else got a better solution?
Hope that helps!
Uhm..I still have not tried your solution...but do you think there is any third party software that can do it, simply shareing printer via WiFi?
ill have a look, never really had a need myself, but ill have a look around, might be a good thing! Ill post if i find anything ok
Ok, thx...I'll take a look around too. I thought it would be useful for example if you receive an email on jasjar and you should print it to have it like a document...without further steps, directly from JJ...
HP has printer drivers for PPC!
They even support some Canon printers..
uhm..I have found Print Pocket CE, but it doesn't support WM2005 Office files, and PrintBoy...but I don't' know if it is compatible...
Any suggestion?

File Access between PC and SPV 3001 over wi-fi

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?

Access PPC from PC via WIFI

Hi,
Is it possible for my WM6.1 device to join my LAN Workgroup such that I can view the files on my PPC from my desktop computer and drag and drop files over to the PPC via WIFI? Kind of like using the PPC as a NAS device?
Thanks in advance
Rob
Yes and No
To my knowledge no. i believe that microsoft stopped allowing that feature within active sync quite awhile ago, but what i have managed to do is to create a computer to computer network (ad-hoc) where my PDA was the access point and my laptop could then connect to that.
I could transfer files using explorer on my phone to access my network drives on the laptop, then copy and paste from there, but i could not find my phone on the laptop due to it not having shared folders to my knowledge.
The things i would like to achieve is shared internet over wifi by using the phone as an access point and to figure out how to access files on phone on the laptop. Not the other way round.
When i created this computer to computer network i thought that if i had 3G connected it would automatically pick up the connection on the laptop but i was wrong.
Which means i am no expert on the matter, but im sure there is a way
the same rules goes for pda's on the same net as for other computers
if they got the correct rights to access shared dirs
it can access them and map them if one use programs like total commander
and know a bit about network in generals not really that user friendly i guess
It can be done, I use a program called WMFTP. Google it.
Yea i get some of it

Some of it i get but others bits i dont. Like is it possible to set sharing rights to directory's on the phone? If that is possible great.
Also how do you find out the device name or would you have to use the ip address for mapping those directory's?
I have a touch diamond and would love to map the internal storage on my network, but have failed at that.
Still not figured how to share the internet connection of the phone over wifi either

File transfer using WiFi (WLAN) - is it possible??

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.

File sharing PC<--->X10i

Hi^^
Probably a strange question...but.
Guide or ideas for share file beetween X10 and PC on window 7 home ed?
PC recognize X10 wireless connection..but ask key and adress...that i never set...
help please^^
Sorry for my english
I like to use Wifi Explorer. With that, all you have to do is connect to your home wifi, run the program, then navigate to the web address given by Wifi Ex. (for ex: http://192.168.1.115:8000) You can download/upload files to your phone or zip folders on your phone to download multiple files easier.
I also find that it makes it easier to share with my friends because they can navigate to that page through their phones browser to grab apks or whatever.
- X10a Wolf 008 ~via XDA App
or MYPHONE EXPLORER its an APK on your phone and a program installed on your pc get it free from hxxp://www.fjsoft.at/
you can also transfer contacts and sms witht hsi app
SwiFTP FTP Server
SwiFTP... easy to configure and files can be shared both ways hassle-free... the best I've used till now...
i use Dropbox and VNC server so if im watching tv upstairs and cbf going downstairs i just vnc and dropbox to send stuff to and from my pc or phone or to my mates and it goes on a external server for backup
Not sure if its the best but I use Samba Filesharing from the market. The app keeps the phone awake for transfering large files which i find useful.
Thank you all guys...
I love you^^
