Can I access files and folders on my network computers from my 8525 without buying additional software?
I used a network plugin i don't remember if it was on my kaiser rom or I found it somewhere on this forum. It let me map the drives on my network and then I could browse them using file explorer. Hope that helps you. Don't forget to upgrade to wm6.

Hi! Yes, you can. Please, try Total Commander for Pocket PC http://ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm - it's free for using, any licences & any fees. Good luck.
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.

One may work for you but I am still looking for the "perfect" app.
Thanks,

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.

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,

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

Is there any way to add my X1 to my home network so i can browse and open files on my desktop and laptop?
Resco Explorer
Hi
I use resco explorer for this...
Nigel
How about you just install the software that comes with the phone (ActiveSync).... Works perfectly for me, and I can drag&drop.

I think he'd like to use his wifi
maybe he wanna use wireless
Resco works great over wifi, but it can be a little slow on first-connect.
its very easy to browse network files using total commander which is freeware.
open it go to \\plugins (or type \\\ in the addressbar) then select LAN and follow through the options pretty straight forward
you can also enable the network folder through any file browser, but i can never remember the correct reg entry for it as i tend to enable it using sktools
try the htc network cab works great
Resco works geat cheers guys!
just the normal explorer, type plugins and then lan followed by the name of your pc. no problem so far with this since 2 ppcs.
Mapping network drive problem - I can't seem to map a drive using Resco Explorer 2008 or File Manager to Windows 7. Resco Explorer just crashes and file manager via VPN keeps on behaving like my credentials are incorrect but I have tried every combination I can think of and nothing works. Can anyone help? I have got RDP to work, but not Resco
Is there an app for my HD2 that will allow me to browse a shared folder on my PC via wifi? I have a Shared folder on my network that all of my computers and XBOX360 get videos and music from, I am looking for an app that will allow my HD2 to access those files. I'm running the energy ROM.
the HTC Network Plugin , just search for it, works fine on my HD2 , lets you map a network folder ..
Give it a search ...
Resco File explorer will work as well. I haven't been completely happy with it though and will give the above mentioned HTC solution a try. My problem with Resco could be my network though so don't shy away from trying it.
