wm5 file sharing

Does anybody know if you can share files or folders on your Universal so they can be viewed from another computer on a wifi network?
I understand how to view / change files on your pc hard drive from your universal, but not the other way around. Thanks for anyone's help.

Resco File Explorer has this function..
Iv'e allso seen it in other programs, but I don't remember any other names right now..

Thanks for the prompt reply.

You can view shared folders on the network (wireless) with Total Commander too, but I have not yet managed to view MDA Pro files from my PC..... guess just need to know how to approach it.....it doesn't show up in my network on the PC

Hello,
I used Resco Explorer but I couldn't find any option to allow you to share a folder on your PocketPC.
I am wondering if we can share PocketPC's folders so that we can access them from desktop/laptop ?
Thanks!

You can only view the shares of other computers. WM5 doesn't have the options to actually share folders for itself.

File sharing thru FTP?
Never tried any of them myself, but have seen a few FTP Server apps available for the PPC.
Couldn't you set up an FTP server on your Uni, then connect to it that way?

Streaming Media Files from your PC to Universal WM5

I found a way to stream my media files and listen and view it o my Pocket PC with windows media encoder.
Download the file and follow the steps.

I just attach a network drive and run mp3 or avi directly from wm10 or tcpmp.
A version of the excellent freeware GSFinder has ben designed for the universal:
http://mkawa.dyndns.org/Soft/GSfinder/GSFinderE/GSFinder-U.exe
It allows easy attachment of network drives.

and from anywhere ?
Good but is there a way to stream a mp3 from a computer if I'm connected to another network ? (not my local network)
For example I'm with some friends, connected with wifi, but not in my home. Then I tell them "hey, have you listened to this song ? Wait a minte, I connect to my computer and I stream it directly on my pocket pc ! "
I would love that kind of feature !

yes, if mark your home PC on your router as a DMZ or open the appropriate ports to the streaming PC. You will also need to know your ASDL/cable IP address.
Note that this is generally inadvisable as it leaves your home network open to attack.
A much easier and better way of doing it is to buy/own 3rd party website storage (i.e. on your ISP). then download the MP3s you wish to share onto this, so they can be played from anywhere on the Internet.

Colonel, thanks for this info, but please could you also tell us how to configure the network drive settings in GSFinder? It asks for "Remote" and "Local Name" settings when you select "Network Connect" - what information needs to go into those boxes? I've tried IP addresses, device names etc but I haven't found the right combination yet.
Mach

Remote name is \\PC name on the network\share drive.
You need to know the 'full computer name' of the PC. (Start --> Control panel --> System --> Computer name)
You then need to make a share drive. Goto the folder/drive you want to share in windows explorer. Right click on the drive and select share and share this folder. You will be asked to enter share name.
Then what you type in remote name on the pocket pc is:
\\pcname\sharename
The local name can be anything you want. It will appear on your pocket pc under windows explorer or gsfinder under a folder called network on the root.
I would suggest you uses windows help or search the internet if you need more info. There is loads around

Hi
Thanks a lot for your input.
I can stream over loacl WIFI quite easily from my Dell PDA. But when i try the same in WM5 on the XDA Exec, it seems to want to connect through the GPRS connection and then it will stream the music. I think its sending data to GRPS and hence charges!!! Why doe it need to do this? If im connected to my WIFI, its should stream without any GPRS connection. Anyone else get this? Thanks

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.

Networking software?

So what are some good software that I can use to connect to a computer a browser the files on the computer, watch the videos on it and listen to the music on it. Like xp/vista and osx does. What about software that lets me connect to some ones WMP or itunes play list? Thank you.

so anyone?

u can use Resco or something similar to access the shared files from ur pc and play them with ur fav media player

anyother options?

You could also use a VNC client on your pocketpc and a VNC server on the PC. Have a look at ptVNC http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/pt_vnc2.htm. There are other solutions as well, just Google around...

Nothing like what you see on the Tilt or the Vouge?

Is there some way to make a Windows Mobile 5 device show up as a shared drive on a network (connected to it thru WiFi)?

WM6
On WM6 there is a Network plugin for file explorer. you can use it to map to a shares on your windows machines.
It's an HTC app so have a look on the CAB apps area.
It's ace!
Also a Domain Enroll app, I haven't tried yet but I'll get a virtual PC up and give it a shot..

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?
