Just a quick how-to sideload apps over wifi; no need to upload/download.
First though, you do need ES File Explorer. Once you have that, you can use it's network feature to sideload over wifi from your phone, or whatever other Android device you have.
On your phone, download Samba Server from the Playstore. Open it once installed.
Select the little plus sign. Select SMB Server from the dropdown. It'll bring up a settings page. All you really need to do here is give your server a name. Switch over to the Roots tab / select Add. Again, give your directory a name. Select Browse to navigate to the directory containing the APK's you want to sideload--for me, this is /backups/apps on my sd card since I use ES File Explorer to back up my apps.
Once you've named the server, and the dirctory (roots) hit the back button. It'll prompt you to save. (Twice). Now just select Start to start your session. Select info and take note of your WIFI IP.
Now on your Ouya, open ES File Explorer. Under Network, select the LAN tab. Select New (+ symbol on bottom). Enter the WIFI IP you just noted above, click the little box for Anonymous, hit ok. This will add a little icon representing your phone. open it, and wa-la.... your APKs at your disposal to install directly over wifi.
NOTE that since you're signing in anonymously, this is unsecure. So you won't want to leave this service running at all times. Just remember to stop the server in Samba Server when you're done.
cheers.

From PC to PC, you can network a shared folder. How can I share a folder on my PPC and network it so either my mac or pc can grab files without having to use ActiveSync or the ridiculous The Missing Sync for mac.
use resco explorer
you can use resco explorer to set up a network share. then copy any files from your PPC to your network share location. Hope this works.

I'll give this a try, thanks.
And, without that, for instance, with File Explorer not possible? I can 'open path' ?
I made it work
I made it kinda work. I am sure there is something wrong, but what I did actually worked. There may be enough correct info here to help:
#1 - I installed a cmd shell
#2 - using the 'net use' command:
net use \\<machine name>\<export name> <password> /user:<domain>\<user name>
#3 now authentication window comes up, and I type in my password.
#4 now I have remote access:
copy \\<machine name>\<export name>\<file name>
When I installed the "total commander" application, I noticed there is a directory now called //network, with a sub directory called <password> ( my actual password ). Inside the password directory are all the remote files. I guess "net use" works a bit differently on this platform than I expect. So I do not know what is going on, but I do have file sharing across SMB..... ;-)
If you are having trouble acessing files in your ASUS portable wireless HDD in Vista after wireless connection...
Open Network icon, select on the drive shown on the network.
Right click and select 'Create shortcut'.
Go to the shortcut on the desktop and select 'Properties'
Edit the path to include the actual shared folder ie. **drivename*foldername* (replace the * with \ ) click OK and Voila!
Double click the shortcut for access.
Just an idea a filemanger that did everything here are feature list.
duplicate File remover
file recovery
file activity monitor it would check the activity by the times access with an option for like say if a file has not been accessed in a month it would automaticly deleted them with confirmation ofcourse.
wifi file transfer through a sorta wifi ftp lan type of connection would require super file manager on both devices the sending device would start a sort of server connection that would create a virtual directory called wlan - $DEVICE NAME$ . the client( the receiver) would just browse the set directory by the server device ad-hoc file transfer.
Active Sync BT WIFI USB File Access Browse Pc HDD'S through an active sync connection

Hey,
I'm having trouble accessing the Windows folder of my device when browsing via my pc. When I browse using WMDC file explorer I cant see the Windows folder. Is there a way to access it?
-Thanks
on your PC - open file manager, press alt - t. This should bring up the tools menu, choose folder options, switch to 'view' tab, scroll down,
Tick 'show hidden files and folders'
scroll
untick 'hide protected operating system files'
click apply(bottom), then click 'apply to folders'(top)
Thanks a lot
no problem.
When you do browse the windows folder on the phone from the pc, dont be surprised that it takes quite a while to populate the file list, it isn't your phone, its a known issue of winmo. Personally i find it easier to use filemanager on the phone (well, resco, ) and copy files to and from the windows folder from there, and use the pc file manager just to copy to other folders and the sd card.
The scenario is like this: I use ES File Explorer to access my network storage and want to open some comic file (*.cbr, *.cbz) in a comic reader app, but it show "no application available".
So, how can I set an specific app to open files in ES File Explorer?, cause it seem that every app can only open local file.
Thanks
no guarantee but try this:
long tap on the file - select open with - select what type of file it is (i think text in this cas) - then you should be able to select your preferred app - don't forget to tap on "set as the default open"
