Host Explorer

Are any of you interested in an App that allows you to access your Desktop PC's FileSystem(The complete File System), TaskManagement, etc... on your Mobile Device?

Well, yes!
I'll access only shared folders via Resco Explorer, but it's not very cool...

hi,
you can use HTC Network PlugIn for File Explorer.

actually, im interested in the opposite idea.
i want to access my PPC's whole filesystem, through SMB protocol in my PC (for example: \\pocket_pc\Program Files\Resco\...), using WiFi or even BT PAN...

what I mean is the whole file system... not just the shared folders.
I asked because I'm doing such an app for personal use. So just wanted to know whether I should expand the app.

I think it is a very good idea. Please release the app.

there is a vm network browser u can access the shared drives on ur ppc ...

read this about doing the opposite to what the OP wants (sorry to divert the thread, i actually want to get it back on track by moving discution about this in another thread)

cant find an app HELP

im looking for an app i have seen it before but cant seem to find it to download it.
its were it lets me be able to connect to my computer thru wifi so that i can transfer files to and from my comp over wifi
does anyone know what the name of it is or were i can download it from

i guess no one knows which app it is that im talking about

I am guessing it is like a network explorer type program.
However Mocha VNC allows you to connect to your computer anywhere through WiFi or Data Connection (it is a remote desktop application) and it will allow you to do File Transfers Back and Forth.
It has a free trial and works on windows mobile so you could give it a try.

yeah thats pretty much what im looking for is to be able to transfer songs to and from my computer to my phone with out having to take out my memory card or have to plug in my phone... thanks

ok so either i dont know what im doing and am a complete dumbass or this **** isnt working can any one give me a hand

Try this. I use this with HTC Touch Elf and it works perfect. This is a full version - Found it on this site - However, can't remember who innitialy posted otherwise I would give credit. Works to view files over wifi connection, transfer files. I listen to my music with this and watch videos from computer on my device. Transfer speeds are not bad but not great. Not to hard to use. Just make folders on your computer as shared folders and then use this program to seach them on your network and connect to them. You only have to connect once and then use file explorer - go to network and into the network folders each time after.
Use Copy and paste to transfer files from desktop to your device

oh ok cool cool thanks let me see if it will work

i tried to install it on my phone but after i did the install i cant find it any were to open it

Easy. Start, Settings, connections, Network plugin
Enjoy

i dont have a network plugin option all i have beam, bluetooth, connections csd line type, gprs setting, networkcards, usb to pc, wireless LAN

I don't know what to say. Did it install properly?
I had a difficult time finding it as well as I didn't expect it to go there. Did you try doing a search on your device for it. Also, search using file explorer in Program Files to see if it is there. It has got to be somewhere, just have to find it. It will be worth it as it should work perfectly for what you need.

well im getting ready to go through my phone with file explore on my comp to see if i can find it but i havent been able to so far

hell yeah i got it it wound up going into my windows folder on my phone
thanks so much

If you use IFONZ or ultimate launch or throttle launcher I would create a shortcut launcher Icon so that you don't always have to go into your window folder. I have a shortcut on my phone to it using ultimate Launch. That way if I want to brows other peoples shared folders while using their wifi connection< I can just click easily and search for their shared folders. works nice.

heck yeah thanks man my only thing now is that every time that i try to back to the previous folder it wont let me i have to exit out and start over.

transfering files over wifi.

Does anyone know of a program that can do this? There is one for the iphone called "air sharing" my boss uses it, its pretty handy since i always forget to bring a mini usb cable into work with me and the one i keep in work always goes missing for days at a time.

If anyone can make something like this or knows of anything already out there id appreciate it very much.
^Thanks

You could always run a ftp server on your phone like mochaftp (which is freeware).
Another way, which requires no extra software, is bluetooth ftp, and that integrates well with vista desktops/ laptops.

2 words for you My friend:
Total Commander.
It has a build in LAN explorer(pluginns) that deeply browses you network. Plus you get all the goodys such as cut, paste, move and full access to files over your LAN.
It does work better and faster than the fruitphone crap, and its free.
Greets.

I use Resco Explorer (prefer it to total commander - but it isnt free)
lets you map permanent connections to a network share. and they can be made available to other apps on the phone too.

Resco Explorer has network and file sharing capabilities

Ok, I have total commander but i have no idea how to get this LAN thing working, anychance of a link to some instructions or a video with how to on it?
Thanks

Sorry for borrowing you thread but what about some software that works the other way around? I mean like enabling Wifi on your diamond and then you could access it from your laptop like ad-hoc and then see the files on the diamond from your laptop?

Using Resco or total commander lets him grab desktop files FROM his device, but wont let him easily transfer files TO the device, unlike Airshare.
In fact, to read a network share from your smartphone you dont need any 3rd party software at all. Just go to PIE and type in file://<networkname>/
e.g. file://mydesktop/
in the address bar, and you will be browsing your network shared folders.

Laptop + HD bluetooth problem

i have a Toshiba Satellite.. about 1 year long and i put a Kingston bluetooth USB on.. ive used it before with my Sony Ericsson and i had no problem but now that i try to connect with my HD it doesn't work.
my HD thinks it connected but my computer doesn't
i cant send files to the phone or anything at all.
its not even recognized
everything works fine if i use the USB cable the HD brought
do i need to update some kind of drive? or what?
anyone got any ideas?

Windows Bluetooth Protocols
Just an idea, but some phones use File Transfer Protocol on Bluetooth, however Windows Mobile devices use Object Push Protocol, adding this protocol onto your Laptops range of available Bluetooth settings, SHOULD allow you to transfer files between Laptop and Touch HD via Bluetooth. Had a similar problem with my laptop!
Hope this solves your problem!

"Once upon a time" in windows mobile 6 I was able to browse my phone through bluetooth connection.
Now with the Blackstone it appears to be impossible. There is no such option within the bluetooth settings.

i still cant get it to work.. what i did notice is that the Image File Transfer Protocal (for pictures and basic types of files) isn't available on the HD.. maybe thats why it doesn't work.
EDIT: has anyone gotten their phone to work with bluetooth? to send files? like a picture? or a new problem you just got? or a powerpoint? ..
im so lazy to hook up the cable every time.

i can send and receive files to my device and have them stored to my Bluetooth Share folder on my storage card. i exported the registry changes and dll from my Orbit2. you can get the dll file here and the registry changes here. it's probabaly best if you follow my instructions from here. once you've made the changes, soft reset and you should be able to send files to your folder of choice without prompts. there are probably other methods of accomplishing the same task, but this has worked for me since i've had my HD. oh yeah, the disclaimer: you assume all risk for anything that happens as a result fo the import and file copy to your device.

i rather not go through all that.. dont want to mess up anything. leaving it pretty much stock. best way to go. besides adding programs (real ones) haha.. only thing i have is HD Tweak from here.. i dont evne have gyrator.. not really needed. thanks anyway. ill just use the cable.

if you're not an experienced WM user, i can understand not wanting to follow the detailed instructions. they were created for the person who requested the info. really, your not installing software, your copying a (certified windows mobile dll) file to your device and importing a registry setting. it's basically the manual steps a cab file would execute. you copy the dll to your windows folder, use PHM or Resco Registry to import the registry settings, soft reset and then try to send a file to your laptop. that's it.

For me ActiveSync over Bluetooth between the Toshiba with Bluetooth dongle and the HD works out of the box, with standard Vista Bluetooth drivers (not the Toshiba ones). Key was to start the Sync from the HD (after pairing the two devices of course), it would never connect when trying to start the sync from the Desktop. To start Activesync, go to Settings tab in the TF3D UI, and use the first option "Sync Data" (Daten synchronsieren on my German ROM).

ill see what i can do later.. i got finals >< thanks guys

same here.... this method is to transfer files via Bluetooth/OBEX to a folder of your choice without prompts and without having to connect to WDMC or AS...

can't transfer word files from tab to pc via usb

So was using officepro for a while to type reports. I then put them on my usb stick put it in the pc at work and print. Then as of last week this no longer works for me. Now when i open them on pc the word file is blank regardless of what format (2003 or 2007) i saved. Same happens on my home pc. Perfect on the tab, blank on the pc. What gives? Any help would be appreciated.

Either I'm the only person who has these problems or I'm a dimwit and nobody wants to tell me so.

Ok,, you're a Dimwit, and nobody else has these issues.
(you asked for it).
Use Polaris Office.
You can get the apk by unzipping any of the roms that have it included.
Install the apk,. then, I believe there are 2 polaris files, you also have to copy to the system directory. You can google and find what and where. I just can't remember offhand.
Oh, and one more thing, make sure your stick is formatted to FAT32 through your pc.

Tried polaris but it won't save in 2003 format for the crappy pc at work. Never thought about the usb fat32 possibility but then been using the same stick under same conditions for a few months with no issues. Thanks for the tip anyway. Oh ..and the insult, I did ask for it.

Quick Office allows you to save in WD 2003 or 2007 and works much better than Office Pro. Give it a try.

hate to just suggest another app option, but also try Docs2Go
I use it and have had no problems transferring and opening the files on any PC's despite what format the Word file is in.

Thanks but it seems it was a usb unmounting issue. I usually just pull out the stick but after unmounting properly the files are unharmed. Not fully sure why but I'm happy now so that's the important thing, right?
Thanks for the suggestions,
