Hi guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 running 4.2.2 on CivZ-FLEXBEAM Rev 3.4. A couple of days ago I got a notification telling me that my external SD card had to be formatted due to malfunctioning; I tried recovering files but neither Windows or MacOS X could read my 64Gb extSD. Needless to say I lost all my stuff, which was fortunately no big deal as I had a copy of most important files on my external HD.
I had a huge folder with a lot of music within, and a backup folder on my laptop. Now, what I want to do is synchronizing my folder on the laptop AND the one on the external SD (both are called Music). Looking up on the internet I bumped into this website which explained how to do this via FTP, which is perfect for me, as none of the ways to connect MacOS to my device worked. I downloaded Cyberduck, connected via FTP (through Ftp Server Pro on my phablet) and started synching; It all seemed to work but I really had to leave so I interrupted. When I came back home I tried the same procedure, ftp connection was ok, but I got an error from Cyberduck as the synchronization began: Invalid Comparison Equal. I tried over and over again but the same error would appear. The only thing I could do was a simple upload.
Now I ask you: is there any way to do what I want to do? Maybe Filezilla could do the same, but I didn't find any sync option. Please, help, otherwise I can't rely on me externalSD anymore
Thanks for your answers and time.

If someone should have the same problem as me: Transmit, It's a gread application to work on FTP, even mounts the server as a disk.

Hi All,
Newbie here so please be nice :wink:
I have only had my XDA Mini for a few weeks now and have just tried to copy files from the PC straight to the storage card via Activesync. I open Activesync and click on 'File' then 'Explore'. The explorer window opens but I get this message...
"Critical communications services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
I have reset the mini and rebooted my PC many times but it has made no difference. What does it mean and how do I fix this problem?
I believe this is an issue with the built in XP firewall... Install another firewall, disable the built-in one and try again.
Hi,
I have the problem as well from time to time. As an alternative I found out, that you can place files in \My document\<Device name>_Syncronised Files (or similar, sorry I use the german version). If you acitivate ActiveSync feature of syncing files, these files will be transfered to the device. You cannot access the memory card this way but at least you can transfer files even if the 'Explore' funtion is not working.
regards
marco
Thanks Guys.
Marco, I have been downloading via My Documents without any problems. The problem here is that I am limited to the memory on my device. I need to download straight to the Storage Card as the files are larger then the internal memory.
Sunoke, ill try the Firewall thing and see how I go.
Hi
I'm trying to shift files backwards and forwards between my pc and my exec, by copying and pasting within explorer windows. I've doen this for years with my ipaqs. I can successfully copy from the pc to the exec, but when doing it the other way, everything appears to be happening normally, but when the transfer finished, the file isn't on the PC! What can I be doing wrong?
P.S Activesync 4.1 is a pile of crap. It's decided not to bother transferring half of my outlook contacts, I think because they have notes.
Also, on a kind of related topic, has anyone noticed that on the box the XDA exec comes in, it states that Windows NT4 is one of the supported operating systems? Not sure how this can be, as you can't install AS4 onto it.
Cheers
Quick update
I did a search by filename of one the documents that I copied from the Exec to my PC and found it buried in a temp file within the documents and settings folder! :shock:
Why is it not putting the files where I ask them to go?
Hi im new to this forum, but it comes highly recommended.
Im having trouble accessing my files on the smartphone through my PC. I had the phone previously before i gt a new one and by going to the my mobile device folder in my computer i could access all the files on the phone when it was connected. Though now on the same phone bt everytime i try to access these files the window itself just closes. I am able to do everything else on the phone but to put mp3 I have to use windows media player and place it on the storage card.
I have tried everyhing from reseting the phone to its original status and upgrading the rom. Please can some one help me as I like to use this way to transfer films and videos to the phone and check other folders. Or if anyone knows of another way to transfer movie files and mp3s to the phone.

It does not seem like there is something wrong with your phone but with your desktop! Try to delete the partnership in ActiveSync.
If you have the know-how you also might remove the drivers for your mobile device manually on your desktop.
uninstall ActiveSync completely and then reinstall (maybe the latest version???)
At least I would try that first ...
How would I remove the drivers from my mobile device manually on the desktop.
I have already unistalled the active sync and downloaded the latest version but i'll try it again.
Thankyou
What phone do you have, what version of ActiveSync do you use, and how do you connect to your PC (USB or BT)?
I have an O2 xda mini, I connect via usb and I have version 4.5 of active sync.
Did you delete the partnership yet? After deleting the partnership, can you connect as a guest and then access your phone via Windows explorer?
I just deleted the partnership and tried going through windows explorer. Once I click on mobile device and go into the folder. The same thing happens as when there is a partnership. I click to go into a folder (any folder) and the windows explorer crashes and the error report comes up asking me to debug or send error report. This is a constant thing no matter what i try
Do you have access to another computer? If so, try using that one. If you don't have any problems, then the problem lies in your computer. I recommend getting a registry cleaner to scan and repair any registry errors.
hi everybody,
this is my first post here on xda. i just got my magic 32b and i'm still trying to figure everything out.
i'm currently running cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and i'm wondering if there's any way to transfer files to the SD card wirelessly, without having to plug in the phone and mount the SD card. thanks!
I installed swi FTP on my phone you have to setup a user name and password port 2121 and run fire ftp on firefox it an add on you have to install setup phones ip address and same user name and password works great
You can tranfer files via FTP over Wifi or over Bluetooth.

If you're a Mac user you can use an app from the market called 'On Air'. Works a treat.
There's also an app called aFile in the market which gives you a webinterface (running on the phone) where you can manage and upload files.

I've been using this one for over 3 months and just love it. Give it a try
Hi there,
I just received my phone from Orange, the french operator.
Rom version is 1.43 something. I ve just been messing around a little with the phone and have encountered a few problems. I d like to know of you guys have the same issues:
- Synchronizing with hotmail: My hotmail password was 17 letters long (and had special characters) and I wasn t able to sync my Leo. I changed the password to 8 letters (and no special characters) and was able to sync
- Copying large video files to SD: When I use the Explore function of my active sync and copy large files (300mb) to my sdcard, it takes forever. The bar advances progressively, then starts back from 0, and so on. After 5 minutes, it seems to finish the copy. When I launch the file, it s corrupt.
The originial file works. The funniest thing is that if I copy the file back from the SDcard to the laptop, the file won t launch anymore
- Copying files with the "transfer function": Ok this works real fast. I can copy large files from my laptop to my SDcard in seconds. When I unplug the Leo, and use the explorer to find the files... well they just aren t there.
If anyone is having the same issues, please help me out.
Thx,
Ben
About the files you can't see. First you have to disconnect the cable or change the USB to PC mode to ActivSync (something). Then you will be able to see your files in the file explorer.
And after a restart, you are still unable to see your files on the storage card, install Resco Explorer and browse your Storage Card with that. It happened to me onece.
And about copying files in ActiveSync mode: It's natural. ActiveSync ain't for copying big files. It's just for syncing your device with your PC. So, it's the same for everyone.

Dunno about hotmail issue as I don't use it.
But, had file copy issues using WMDC in my Vista pc.
I have started using Disk mode nd no problems.
Try formatting your memory card in device if u have issues still.
I ve tried that, but it still doesn t work. I ll format my SD when I get home and try a few other things...
BTW, is there a simple way to backup my original Orange rom before I flash and HTC rom on the Leo?
Thx,
Ben
Issues with the SD card are cleared. The SD card is simply dead. I put another one in and everything works ok
