Is there a way for me to browse the files on which ever computer I am connected to via USB? I would like to be able to plug in my usb cable to a computer and then be able to browse its contents from my PDA. Any ideas?
\\<computer name>
should work
there may be easier tools like total commander which makes it easier to brows
how about streaming the files?
GLOBE 2 Smart/Sun?
Marc, have you tried unlocking ur XDA with the all-unlock they're using for vodafone2orange in UK? Sorry, had to ask you that here...couldn't find any other Pinoy in the forum. Thnx! I'm 09164655106
Resco File Explorer 5.22 let's me browse my shared files on both my Mac OS X an WinXP PCs.
I can play (stream) my music and videos from those PCs flawlessly to my PDA2k...
Cheers
if you have wifi access in ur home you cud also use logmein to remote control ur computer from ur pda. (www.logmein.com)
Did anyone find a way to use WI-FI(much faster then BT/IR) to transfer files to a PC?
why should we use BT(MAX of 18 Kb/s) when we can use WI-FI with a max of 10 Mb/s??
If you mean ad-hoc connection, I have not tried but if you mean connecting the PPC to a network, just share a folder on the PC and transfer files through that shared folder.
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be a way to make a share folder on a PPC.
I'll try that, TNX.
you could install a ftp server such as vxftp.
I just share a folder on my laptop, then connect laptop and PDA both to same wireless base station. You can type in "\\servername" in totalcommander and navigate to your laptop and copy files back and forth. Works for Windows PCs - not sure about Macs/Linux.
Hi Friends !!!
I want some way for sharing files between pc and ppc with wifi . i was bored from connecting my phone to pc by Cable .
can anybody help ? PLZ
My phone is HTC Diamond
total commander is an easy way to access shares from a pda
but of cause the pda have to be a valid user to the share like any other
computer trying to access a shared storage
You can also install an ftp server like Mocha ftp. After you have started the ftp server, you can use your favourite ftp client on the PC to access the files on the PPC - no need to poke/type on the PPC all the time if you're in front of a PC already.
Sorry but can u explain more about this ftp network .
i dont have any experience with FTP . what apps should i have ?
in pc ? in ppc ? :|
Sorry , but can u help with mocha ftp ? how is it work ?
and one thing more that how can i find my pc and ppc 's IP ?
remote desktop? u can rdp from the ppc to the pc and enable the disk share thing.
Resco File Explorer! It's Shareware - but works very well...
You see windows-shares-NAMES, no IP!
lg....
Mocha ftp is a free download from http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm. You can find the license key just below the download button.
Once you have started the Mocha ftp server you should set a username and password in File -> Settings and then click on the Start button. The IP Address of the PPC is displayed on the status page of Mocha ftp server.
Now you should be able to use ftp://username:[email protected]_address from your desktop, or the command line ftp client, or any other ftp client.
Hmm, I just tried ftp://username:[email protected]_address from Windows Explorer and it did not work :-(
I don't know a good Windows ftp client, because I don't use Windows normally. Maybe someone else can help there.

Start - Settings - connections - WLAN - 2nd tab you see your ip, but switch your wlan on.
Or use LANview, there you see all ip's in the network
Hi Boys .... I thank all your efforts for my problem .... TNX
I downloaded ( SmartFTP ) ftp client for windows and i tried to connect to my phone but it says :
[19:15:57] Resolving host name "169.254.26.25"
[19:15:57] Connecting to 169.254.26.25 Port: 21
[19:15:26] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[19:15:27] Connect failed. Waiting to retry (30s)...
[19:15:27] Client closed the connection.
I Don't know what to do . HELP ME PLZZZZZZZ !!!!!!
Just to make sure: is 169.254.26.25 the same IP address you see in Mocha ftp server? And you clicked on "Start" in Mocha ftp server, so you see "State: online"?
If yes, it is possible that the Mocha ftp server is not compatible with SmartFTP (although it should work, but it did not work for me with Windows Explorer or KDE konqueror).

I Tried with almost all programs , but .................
Isn't there any other way except ftp ???
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467877 it works
I usually use hfs file server. Very simple and powerful but can not do folders. The best for files. Be anywhere with a wifi connect & download from your pc running hfs direct to your phone.
Mocha is nice too. Use Total commander's ftp abilities on your pc while mocha is running on your phone.
I will say for large files such as a 500+ mb avi, a card reader is faster.

Hello, I have a WD NAS Devise in my home Network and i was wondering how I can access my shared network drive using my Diamond's WIFI
NOTE: A already tryed using Resco file explorer to map the drive but its just not seeing the drive, what could be the reason ??
is there a software which can telnet or FTP to the share drives ??
try the classic - TotalCommander!
at root it shows a folder called 'plug-ins' in which you can connect to ftp and Lan (at least cifs have not tried others)
Having trouble trying transfer files over if anyone could help.

Use an FTP server app on the Switch.
Connect via FTP client (Filezilla) from PC.
???
Profit

An alternative would be to use AirDroid on the switch, if the pc and the switch are on the same network :highfive:

If you dont want to setup FTP server on your computer, you can try Goodsync as well. It's a paid app for the server, but once you get it installed it's better than FTP. It uses its own file transfer protocol that can be used across the internet securely too. You have the server running on your computer, run the Goodsync app on Android, and then you can have it do auto/manual backups and transfers of files. There's also a desktop file browser app.
I use FX Fileexplorers "Web Access Mode"
Orrrr. copy them to the microSD's partitition and then utilize TWRP to move em over to /sdcard.
(USB doesn't register correctly with my pc, Bluetooth on switchroot denies file transfer...)
