Hello Guys,
i need a free way to share files between multiple devices? I have no limits for mobile data or wi-fi.
Currently i have FTP server (filezilla) but is not as convenient as i hoped.
I want to easy share even between client-client. With FTP i have to upload file to server from first client, and then to download it from another client. I did search google but there's plenty of results for VPNs and such thing but it's not clear will do the trick and i didn't have a lot of time to spent for trial&error method, so any suggestions?
Anyone?

Hi,
Found lots of interesting little programs for my Windows Mobile phone recently, but one thing I can't find.
I want to be able to access the files on my phone from the network, via wifi (as a normal file share). I know it can be done the other way around, ie I can see files on the network from the phone, but haven't found anything to make the phone share its own files.
Is this possible? Can't see any particular reason why not - networking obviously works the other way, I know you can get http and ftp servers for the phone. Am I just missing something?
If there isn't a program out there that can do it, is it because no one's found a use for it and so not developed it, or is there a technical reason why it can't be done?
Any help much appreciated!

Mocha FTP server
All,
I have setup a WiFi router on my PDA and want to connect a WiFi camera to it. When pictures are taken I want to be able to store them on the PDA.
I have successfully got two PDA's connected by the router.
I can do this with a laptop but I need to be able to map some form of drive to my PDA.
Can I do this?
Thanks,
Sam
install resco explorer and map a network drive,within resco you should then be able to see the drive via wifi.
Thanks for your suggestion but I think that this is going the other way than I need to go.
I may have found my solution as I can run an FTP server on the PDA and the camera can do an autosend via FTP client to the IP of the PDA FTP server.
Not ideal but at least it is a start.
The Rescoe approach I thought would only allow me to connect TO a destination and not share my Storage Card out. Am I right?
Thanks for taking the time and interest, I was beginning to despair that anyone would respond at all,
Kind Regards,
Sam.
The only thing I have found so far is the FTP route.
I was using mocha FTP server and it's default set for anonymous login.

I haven't found anything other than that.

For what it's worth you are correct about this.
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.
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.

Hello all! I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. Anyway I'm here to ask if anyone knows how to bypass web filters on android? At my school McAfee filters any inappropriate websites, this includes forums, blogs, and things of that nature. I tried using Orbot but I'm stuck setting it up. Any help will be appreciated.
You can use tunnelguru.com to browse everywhere you want, if the website is allowed within the mcaffee policy
Oh cool, I'll give that a try. Thanks for your response!
The website was blocked :/ any other suggestions?
Do you want something that is free?
You could also consider setting up a tunnel from your home, but it's somewhat complicated.

Another option could be a VPN service. I've used VPNBook.com before with satisfactory results, and it should work for you too as long as the firewall doesn't block the ports that the VPN uses. I remember back in my last couple years of high school, the web filters were starting to get ridiculously strict, VPN is the only way to use legitimate websites sometimes.

That also does work. It was a little tricky to set up, but I eventually got it going once myself. If you're concerned about privacy using a public VPN like VPNBook, doing it yourself could be a great alternative.

There are loads of guides online for this however I cannot post links but my search query in google was "create your own VPN server at home step by step" and then i chose the top result and it is a perfect step by step guide on how to install a VPN Server in your home to use as a proxy bypass.
