Sending Files via WiFi

Hi.
I bought HD yesterday and its great but there are a few things that i cant do.
Is there any way to access the phone internall memory or SD card using wifi?
Ofcorse i can do it by usb but i have wifi networks at home, work, friends house and it would be much simpler to do it this way.
I succesfully connect to wlan and internet on phone works perfectly but cant find the way to transfer the files.
I tried typing IP adress of the device (ex: "\\192.168.1.4") like i would do to access another PC shared files but it wont work.
Never worked on WM before so its rather guesing than knowing how to do something but i assume that it is much alike normal win.
I just find out that i can browse my PC shared files using internet browser on HD but rather do it other way around (browsing on my PC files from HD and/or SD card.)

as far as i know. windows mobile doesn't natively support sharing/server. so you would need to run a third party application on your phone which acts like a server. actvesync used to let you sync using wifi, but not anymore.

I use "Total Commander" it's free and will enable you to see other drives on your LAN. You can even use/view two windows on your HD to drag and drop from your LAN to the SD card.

Yes, I also use Total Commander, it also does FTP. Get it here

its not exactly what i had in mind but it works good enough and its so much better than using browser
thx guys

yes, i believe the two above posts went a little tangent-didn't address your exact concern, but they are nice work around indeed. in that case, i offer my work around as well. I used Resco Explorer with FTP plug in, so you can transfer files to and fro.

Run a server like mochaFTP on your phone.
A simpler solution is not to use wifi at all, but to use bluetooth. Bluetooth 2.0 runs at about 100 kb/sec, which is not too bad for small file transfer and it integrates well with Windows.
See here for a tutorial: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=1028
Surur

unfortunately (or i should say fortunately?) i dont have bluetooth in my PC.
its simpler but also worse solution because it would take almost 15h to transfer a 700MB movie file with this transfer :O
I'll stay with totalcomander solution. Its simple, fast and its using wifi conection which i have access to almost everywhere i go

Possible to access SD card via WiFi from computer?

Rather than hooking up my G1 via USB, is it possible to access the SD card via WiFi from a PC or Mac?

I believe installing a FTP server app on your phone can solve this. I have used SwiFTP from Market and it works like a charm.

There is a market app called aFile (used to be Discover) that works for this very well.

hmmm...
I use the app on a daily basis and it has never once crashed or not worked. Guess I'm just lucky.

aFile/Discover doesn't work all that well anymore. It --used-- to work great, but the developer hasn't seemed to keep up with the OS changes. Combine the developers update plus the "Cupcake" releases, you get problems connecting.
So, here's a couple of suggestions. All of these connect over WiFi.
Probably the easiest is Estrongs File Explorer. It will allow you to connect to Windows shares (Samba shares) from your phone and transfer files in either direction.
Another very simple solution is to run SwiFTP on your phone. It's a simple FTP server for your phone. Then you can use Filezilla (or any FTP program on your computer) to connect to your phone via FTP and transfer files back and forth. Make sure you keep the port as 2121, otherwise it won't work.
My personal favorite is a bit different. I set up a Filezilla server on my home network. It's very simple to set up. Then use AndFTP on your phone to connect to the FTP server you are running on your computer. You can take it one step further and have it installed on your home network. Go to dynsys.org and register there. Follow the instructions (fairly simple). This will give you the added benefit of being able to access your files anywhere in the world as long as the Filezilla server is running on your computer/network and your computer hasn't gone into sleep/hibernate AND you have your router configured correctly.
If you need help with any of this, please contact me. This is a feature that I've desperately needed, and I've looked at many different solutions and can probably help you make the right decision and get it working properly.

An another good FTP client for Windows is Total Commander. In the (unlikely ) case you are not using it already, it is a very good file manager. I almost cannot live without it

Thanks blueheeler for the info.

It may have something to do with the combination of things.
I know "Discover" worked for me, then aFile came out, and it doesn't.
Here's what I'm using:
Vista x64 Ultimate (also tried on Win 7 RC x64)
Belkin router
JF1.51 (also tried with various Dude versions)
Broadcom 4322AG WiFi driver
I did recently switch from 32 bit Windows to 64 bit if that makes a difference.
Tried with:
a) with Vista firewall
b) Vista's firewall disabled + phone in DMZ
c) Vista's firewall disabled + laptop in DMZ
d) Vista firewall off + router firewall off

remote desktop on vogue?

Hello! I'm new here and have gained interest in my htc vogue from Bell. I haven't unlocked it as I might not need it. I was wondering if I could use remote desktop to connect to my home desktop. I know that the vogue does not have wifi, so I was wondering if there was any way around it. Thanks for reading, I hope to see some posts!
Thanks.
Tom

if you connect via ActiveSync, you will automatically share the connection from your computer with your device.
As far as I know (IIRC), there is a remote desktop app with some builds of windows mobile 6.5. Not sure how well it works.

Thanks for replying, I was actually thinking of accessing my files and controlling the computer when I'm not near it to access it, such as if I was a room from my computer, I could use my phone to raise the volume on some music, or shut it down via remote desktop. Any more suggestions though?
Thanks
Tom

if you are on the bell network just add the $10/month plan for unlimited data

Remote Desktop
There are two versions floating around on XDA of the remote desktop client. I installed the one rated to work on WM6.1 and luckily it worked on WM6.5.

Yes, the WM6.1 version should work for simple remote desktop.
Has anyone had any experience using remote desktop on the vogue along side a vpn client? Trying to use my vogue with computers at work has been impossible so far...

Remote Desktop Help.

Please don't say use google, i have been on the phone with htc, on countless treads trying to do this. None of them helped.
I have a 64 bit Windows 7 and a win6.5 HTC HD2.
I cannot connect using remote desktop,
I have tried, open ports, firewalls down, allowing the remote to access, Lan/Wireless Ips, 3 Different HTC HD2 phones.
My phone and laptop running on same router, my router is a 2wire 2701HGV-B
I am open to any suggestions besides flashing due to that i don't know how to do it and i don't want to brick my phone.
My ROM is 2.10.531.1 and my radio is 2.08.50.08_2 if that helps.
I would appreciate help and suggestions if you have any. Thanks!

What version of W7 do you have ? Remote desktop will only work with professional or ultimate. If you are running home premium it will not work.

i am running home edition but i heard you can still run remote desktop with home. hmmm

Actually, this is a problem for me too. I'll buy Win7 soon and i must know if i need the professional version.. otherwise i'll just stay with home edition witch is more than enough for me..
I can assure is works very well (even in landscape mode) with the Ultimate RC i am using now.

For Home Premium users like myself, you need to follow the instructions on This Website

RDM
I use RDP on my home PC to connect to my work PC, which I have all the settings.
Can I connect to my work PC with the RDM program on the phone or do I need something else? I've put all the settings in but keep getting the same error (Can't connect, 1. invalid name or IP 2. Network error).

[Q] iDisplay on NC 1.1 with Win7 x64

Is iDisplay workin' on stock OS 1.1? and the iDisplay server is installed on Win7 64bit system. Reply with results.
"Sidd

[REQ] App-Dev.
My PC's display isnt workin' properly I'l have to replace my PC's display till then I was hopin to get iDisplay work so that I'l be able to view my screen on NC but unfortunately it isnt workin'.
Secondly I've tried remote desktops including Teamviewer, PhoneMyPC etc.
The trouble with Teamviewer is tht I'm not able to view the WHOLE screen at a time. Rest the UI of Teamviewer is great.
And if i talk of PhoneMyPC it is workin' fine too but the problem is that I'm not able to view my mouse pointer so it is little inconvenient.
If anyone is looking into app development it is a good idea to look into these things
More-over it'd be much helpful if the app uses Local Network rather than lookin' for internet access i.e. the client should connect the server with WiFi or USB will be a good idea?
And lastly yes anyone will point out at VNC then I'm having some issues with connecting to VNC as I'm using a router and a DSL modem in series so VNC server isnt setting up correctly.
Lastly Hit thanks if anyone thinks this kind of app will be really helpful
