Whats the best program or app to use to wireless sync large files like movies and what not that is decently fast. i used to use ftp but now i dont know how to get it working. the new filexpert sucks is there another app that is easier? btw im running on osx and kies aint working at all. thanks
You could try folder sync but I think you might need ftp server on your computer. It supports whole bunch of cloud solutions and protocols. Might work for you.

do u really need "sync"? if so, foldersync is very nice solution, otherwise, i suggest u use ES file explorer, it can connect LAN, FTP, dropbox/box account easily and copy and paste like normal file explorer operation
I use FolderSync to regularly synchronize half gig and 1 gig video files; it works wonderfully!

Is there any way to mount a folder on the Hermes as a windows share so I could copy files from my PC using the PC interface? I know I can mount a shared folder on the device, but it's really fiddly. I know I can do this using activesync, but it's so slow compared to wifi.
The Windows Mobile platform has no active server capabilities.
There are FTP servers out there, but since you seem to be concerned about speed, the best way is probably to just use a card reader.

Thanks; I am concerned about speed, but also convenience, I'd like to be able to do it all witout extra junk to carry about!
Yes there is
warftpd is a solid and completely free FTP server.
Install that.
Then use Resco Explorer's FTP client.
I use it all the time.

What is the best way to transfer large amounts of data between Desire HD's? My girlfriend got herself one as well after playing around with mine for a few days =) We see ourselves sending each other files ranging from 10MB to 100MB (occasionally more). And by this I mean when we're together away from home like when we meetup on Friday nights after work so no access to a PC.
Is Bluetooth suitable for transferring files of such sizes? Even if it would, wouldn't that take forever?
Will wifi be an option? If so, how? Are there apps that facilitate Andriod <=> Android file transfers?
Thanks in advance!
in my opinion the fastest method is to connect both of the DHD to a computer and transfer the file.
in another case wifi is pretty fast but i dont know how to transfer with it.

Samba. Never tried it on android but should work a treat if you can get it set up, though it does require root.

The easiest way is to get an app called Bump. Download it to both phones, select a file and Bump the phones together, and the transfer begins.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bump/com.bumptech.bumpga
You can also turn one of your DHDs into a file server a browse it with the other app. There are quite a lot of alternatives. Search appbrain for "file server".
E.g:
SwiFTP FTP Server
http://www.appbrain.com/app/swiftp-ftp-server/org.swiftp
it turns a DHD into an FTP server, you can then use the IP address ti access it with an FTP client from the desktop or DHD (Astro, AnyFTP, etc.) and transfer files. The transfer will be as fast as the Wifi or network you are using.
Is there an app that I can use to connect to my computer and do file transfers wirelessly? Or perhaps a hack..
What exactly are you trying to transfer? I use DropBox all the time and you can share files with other devices/people as well, follow that link for extra storage.
Ive also used a comp w/ bluetooth to transfer a bunch of pictures to my Atrix one time..
If your wanting to sync your entire iTunes library, you might give this a try: http://goo.gl/hVxxf
I use ES File Explorer, free in the market. It acts as a file explorer on your atrix, but can also set up LAN locations via ip addresses. With that you can easily copy files from your phone to computer and vice versa as long as both are on the same network.
Just hate having to take my sd card out all the time or moving my charger around. Just transfering music, videos and pics.
Apps Drawer > Phone Portal > Connect with Wifi
In your browser, connect to your phone by typing in your phones IP address followed by :8080 and you will connect to the phone portal which will allow you to manage your phone wirelessly.
Use IE 7 or Firefox 3 if possible as they are the most compatible with the software.

Quite welcome. You can also do this while plugged into USB if you are low on battery or whatever else.
Ever since the .83 update I have horrible signal in my house. I typically just leave my phone in another room lately where I get decent signal and use the BT headset for calls and then use my desktop or laptop for txting.
I have been using PhoneExplorer.. its free from the market. It will sync Outlook if you need that, it lets you run your texts in chat windows, and it syncs files and pictures as well as lets you upload and download to the phone. It supports wifi, bluetooth, and usb connections.
When I tried PhonePortal, I couldn't get to my files... I might have to try it again.
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'm looking for an app that will allow me to access and save files on my server (WHS 2011) from my phone and tablet, and also upload pictures taken from my phone to my server (like the dropbox service). Is there an app that will allow me to do this?
i would also like to know this

Yes, there is. You can just use ES File Manager and connect to the share across the network.
If you want it to work anywhere you are, then you'll have to configure your router and firewall to allow this.

Not sure if your WHS has FTP or not, but if it doesn't you can install a simple FTP server like FileZilla. Then you could use one the many ftp sync apps to sync the photos folder of your phone with the server.
Just an idea.....

Thank you! This looks like exactly what I was looking for. I have never set up an ftp server, is filezilla a good one to use? Also do you have a recommendation for one of the apps to use?

OpenVPN + ES File Explorer.
Or any combination of VPN + SMB aware file manager.
Or as others have mentioned, you can simply do FTP. Remember though, FTP is not encrypted, and is a heavily targeted default port for script kiddies and professional hackers alike. At a bare minimum run on a high number non standard port, and preferably also don't allow access from the entire internet address space... That's still just security through obscurity, aka, not real security, but it'll help a tiny bit. Seriously though, if you've never run an FTP server before, I'd at least use a VPN, then go in over FTP, rather than just opening up to the entire internet.
Personally... I just use S3, and use that to store my files in the "cloud". It's cheap, just as fast to upload to, and you get the benefit of extremely reliable storage. Aka, if your server crashes, house burns down, etc etc. You can also use reduced redundancy storage on S3 if you wanna save a few bucks.
I then regularly sync certain S3 buckets to my local server from S3 for fast network access. Really up to you though... Lot of different ways to achieve similar outcomes. The biggest benefit to me though is I rely on S3 as a backup, and hence don't have to worry about backing up locally/off-site a 2nd time.

Agreed. Also, for the app side of things, Foldersync is great. Ive used it in the past. You can read about it here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full&hl=en
As for the whole FTP being insecure thing, yes and no..... By changing the default por from 21 you should alleviate most of your problems. Even then I doubt youd really have any issues. Ive been running a web server with ftp enabled ON THE DEFAULT port for over a year and have had no issues. Im pretty sure youd be fine.
I use app called Sweet Home! You dont need to install anything on your WHS just set up configuration on your app with your WHS logon credentials.
Once complete, it syncs all of my photos and upload them to my designated directories on WHS when your phone is plugged to charge.
I also made a setting so that any photos older than 3 months are to be deleted on my phones but to be remained on my WHS (I knly have 16GB and always full of photos). thats the beauty of having WHS, it acts as your own cloud storage.
I have a WHS 03. This app also works on NAS if you have it.

You don't need OpenVPN. Windows7 and Server 2008+ both have pptp vpn servers built-in.
That's true, they totally do. But Windows VPN solutions are incredibly unwieldy.
And I wouldn't wish the pain of configuring it properly on my worst enemy.

Check out AeroFS basically what you asked for in your original post. Provides the app to set up hosting on your home network and an android app for your phone. Interface and use is incredibly similar to Dropbox. Plus for individual user it's free.
