Okay, I'm using On Air app from the market. I can use Firefox and Chrome to ftp into the phone and view the files on the sdcard. How do I manipulate those files from within these browsers?
I'm using W7 and when I try the same thing with explorer...I get a connection error. Same thing if I use IE, it won't connect, but FF and Chrome works. What's the deal? I tried using FileZilla and it won't connect. Only FF and Chrome.
Can anybody help me out to getting connected? I tried SwiFTP; AnFTP; DroidFtp, etc... Seems that those apps are used for having the N1 connect to the computer instead of the computer connecting to the N1. In which case...I don't know how to set up my computer to be a server.
I know the problem is me being new to using FTP...the only time I successfully use it, is to transfer files to my XBMC.

Does anybody how i could access my Pocket PC from my PC over the network. I could do it vice versa through Resco but i can't do Pocket PC from PC nor Pocket PC to Pocket PC. Any ideas? I would like it to happen just how the PC does it, with no major add-ons. I don't want to have to deal with VNC, FTP, etc. So if you know, i'd really like to know the answer. Thanks
I was looking for the same thing and haven't been able to find anything.
(I know you said u didn't want to use FTP)
So far the only thing I have been able to find for this is an FTP solution.

I can access the local network from the phone, but apparently there is no SMB server available for Wm6
Why can't you just use the explorer function of ActiveSync?

There are multiple reasons for wanting to access your device from the network. I myself am using multiple machines and would like to drag and drop files from my phone without having to get a bluetooth dongle and install active sync on every one of those machines.
If anyone has setup a smb server for wm6 i'd love to know, also if anyone has any other recommendations for a good ftp server that mocha one doesn't run in the background properly and the bottom toolbar for it stays on my today screen.
Not exactly what you're after, but I've seen a web server for WinMo around somewhere...
Or maybe something along the lines of a VNC client?
Yea, there are reasons for the networking thing. I have several devices on the network and i would life to get a NAS device. I don't want to go to the trouble of setting up ftp/vnc. Mapping the device using Resco works GREAT. For some reason, my laptop can't find my Tilt when i search for devices on the network and i was thinking maybe it was because it didn't have the same workgroup name?
useful for sure
Assuming you're on the LAN with WiFi, what happens when you port-scan your device's IP?
Not sure what you mean by port-scan but when i go to file explorer on my laptop and type \\ip of tilt, it gives me some error. I'm really trying to look into this and most advice is using vnc and another program which i don't want.

I don't think you're understanding when i said wm6 doesn't have a SMB server running.
Basically, it isn't running the microsoft networking services to access the file shares. You wont get it to work unless you get some sort of SMB daemon(server) for the phone, which to my knowledge doesn't exist.
look up SMB in wikipedia and u will understand what im talking about.
If using Resco to map shares, will you be able to play media (music, movies) over the wlan then, or will it not be fast enough?
I'm assuming that mediaplayer in wm6 won't have a problem playing from shares...or am I wrong?

I kind of got this resolved. Not the way i really wanted it, but now i use Pocket Controller Enterprise and it does this. Really nice features, i could connect to anybody in the world, just need their host name.
Doesn't the desktop version of total commander do this? The only problem is the desktop version isn't free...
I have a home server (Windows Home Server) with tons of stuff on it. When I am traveling, I have tried to access and download epub format ebooks, and the browser gives me an error message that the download failed because that file type is not supported by my phone device. (Aldiko didn't help with this)
I have noticed this with other file types also.
Is there a way to download ANY file type from my home sever, even ones "not supported" by the phone? This would be very useful thing to be able to do.
The home server is accessed via a web browser (https).

setup ftp server on your home server
open a port on your router and do port forwarding to ftp port on your server
WAN port like 44444 -> serverip:21
then use a filemanger or FTP client (I use EStrongs file manager, but there are several others) to connect to the external IP of your router at port 44444 (or whatever port you chose above)

I'll have to study up a bit to do something like that. I was hoping there was just some way to allow android to download any file type through the web (http).
The FTP server solution is one way to go. Have you tried a different browser??

I have tried different browsers and apps such as crutch and download buddy. Some of those do let me download the file, but when I try to open the file, it won't. Yet, if I transfer the file by USB or Dropbox, it works fine.
Very frustrating...
Don't know that I want to go through the trouble of setting up an ftp server for something that seems so obvious... can't believe it's not part of the android OS to allow such web based file transfers within the browser???
why not use dropbox? its free, and 2gig will store a lot of epub format ebooks
https://www.dropbox.com
I use Download all files.

I use a VPN setup. i think it's the most powerful, albeit a bit tricky to setup. should you need help configuring it dont hesitate to ask. however, whatever your solution, remember a couple of limitations:
- you can access mapped net shares (smb) using almost any file explorer (i use astro), you can copy your files to the sd, but you cannot run remote files. that's because generally no app is able to deal with the smb protocol.
- to circumvent this limitation, you must be root. i don't exactly know the passages but the general method is to create a mount point to your net share (something like \mnt\network1 or whatever), so the system (and most important the apps) will be tricked to think they are dealing with local files. if you are not root, upon reboot the mount point will be forgotten. I read about this somewhere around here.
@ stoney73: I do use Dropbox, but would like to be able to access anything on my server while I am traveling.
@tenorntex: I just ran across that app and will likely give it a try.
@crashDebug: sounds interesting. I would have to do a bit of research and educate myself before I could attempt what you're describing.
Thanks all. It will be solved eventually.
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^^
I am on HyperDroid 6.0.1 MAGLDR version and am trying to use the Wifi tethering to provide a Wifi access point that my friend's Sony W995 can connect to. I have done this and he can use the internet via my Wifi connection. What I have not been able to do is to copy files between the 2 phones. We used to use Bluetooth but I wanted to try Wifi as we are now further apart and Bluetooth does not connect at this distance.
I have turned on "Network Sharing" on the W995 and set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (rather than the default 255.255.255.255 - found a website that said this was needed - neither work).
I have ES File Explorer on my Android phone and it cannot see the W995 on the LAN settings (a scan finds nothing).
Does anyone know what I need to set up?
Thanks

You could try airdroid from the market installed on one device and then use the browser on the other to copy files, maybe!!!

I tried airdroid but could not get the w995 to connect to the web address specified in airDroid. I guess i will have to continue to use Bluetooth and leave my phone near my friends's phone
Silly question but did you select wifi tether in airdroid. Like make sure tether is active before starting airdroid?

Not a silly question at all. I looked in airdroid but could not find a tethering option. I had already turned on tethering and got my friend's phone surfing the net via my data connection before trying to run airdroid. AirDroid kept saying wifi is not on.
I did a bit more googling and came across some samba server apps (from which i could connect my phone to my router at home and get my windows 7 PC accessing my sd card wirelessly). I didn't think my friend's w995 had software to access samba shares so that was still no good. I finally found an app called "wifi file explorer" which would detect i was on wifi tethering (also does normal wifi by the way). It would then provide a web server that my friend's w995 could connect to as a simple http://192.168.1.xxx:8000/ address in his w995's web browser. From here he could navigate my sd card and download the relevant files, job done
I tried the same on another friend's Sony w715 but that wouldn't load the main page properly. I will f try some of the "wifi file explorer" options to see if it can make the main page simpler.
Over wifi we transferred a 200MB file in about 8 minutes (if i remember correctly)
Thanks for your help

You can also try setting up FTP file server on Android or set up samba file server on Android.

I had tried a samba server app on my Android phone but i didn't know how to access it from my friend's w995. I also tried the ftp server in "ES File Explorer" but again didn't know how to access it on the w995. Both of the samba and ftp methods could be accessed fine on my windows PC.
does anyone know of an app or program i could install on my phone and computer so i can access my laptop when im not home?

There are more than 1 ways. I personally use Remote Desktop (from XtraLogic) and use the RDP connection from my phone to my server. I logon to the server as an admin and have full desktop view access. There are free RDP clients too that you can use and they give you full feature access (including resource redirection and custom resolution).
You will have to forward port 3389 from your router to your laptop's IP, in case you wish to connect from the internet. Works like a charm for me.
Hope this helps.
