Anyone know (for sure) how to setup/connect 2 PPC together for file transfer using an ad-hoc connection?
The AIM is to copy/move files to my friends xda while sitting in the pub faster than IR or BlueTooth.
Wrong forum for this question, my friend
Use Bluetooth File Transfer or IR file transfer (Beam app). It's easy enough to do.
p.s. You can always do the 'sneakernet' thing and copy files to an SD card on one device and move it to the other WM device (if all you want to do is move files).

Thank for advice, but not what im looking for. And sorry for the wrong placement, im a bit blinkerd and look in Univerasal most of the time.
Thanks all the same
You are very welcome, we try to help, even if we are snide about it some times.
Ahh, I see. You meant a WiFi connection in 'ad hoc' mode (vs. infrastructure mode) . You would have to set one of the XDAs in ad-hoc mode so it can act as an access-point. That can be done but I don't know if this will enable file-sharing. No such animal exists on any Windows Mobile devices (or at least I am not aware of any such software) and I don't know of any relevant shareware either so it can't be done this way.
Is there a reason you don't want to use the sneakernet approach? If you are only doing this occasionally it's just a minor pain in the rear-end.
Edit: Let me correct myself here and state that while you can actually use the WM5 devices in ad-hoc mode they cannot be used for transferring files, etc. You can use one of the devices as pass-thru just to, for example, browse the web. Although, I suppose that if you can run a FTP server on one of the devices (is there such a thing?) you can always use FTP to move files which would sort of negate the entire usability aspect of wireless.
For details on setting WM devices in ad-hoc mode read the very informative article here.

Hi guy’s
I wondering if some one of you know about a program called "ifile" or something like that
I don’t need to say the name of the phone where roun this software but is not from Microsoft (clear enough right?)
So, I would like to know if there exists the same program for HTC HD or something like it.
I talking about a program that makes possible to transfer files from the pc to the Blackstone BY WLAN and so on so far.
I mean that you just need to write the IP address in your pc at the explorer and that’s it
Thank very much
every addon file explorer like total commander (free) and resco explorer (commercial) have builtin lan support
it works much like windows' "map network drive" function and is very good, i myself i use it alot
you can even use, instead of ip addresses, the network names of the computers or browse through the whole network.
i MIGHT be wrong but it seems to me that even the default winmo file explorer can do such thing provided you install file explorer extensions (search on this forum you will eventually find them out and read about those)
some ideas
Hi. There are some options i can think of from the top of my head.
1
share a folder on your pc, access it from your device with your favorite browser (Total Commander).
2
read in about getting activesync going over wlan
3
mail stuff to your self and check it on your other device
4
try to find a web or ftp server for ppc
5
there might be some remote control software (you know, to control your ppc from pc, or take screensnaps etc) that is able to transfer files. I know there is a lot of remote progs available.
6
There is software available to browse ms networks from ppc, maybe there is some that puts your pcc right in there.
I´ll add more if I think of any.
Use Google.
As in, like 'share' a folder somehow and just copy/paste directly onto it? I'm sure it must somehow be possible, like it is windows after all and with WiFi. or at least via FTP or something like that? like can do it on the ipod touch i have, so with a windows OS I would have thought it should be pretty easy?
Do a search on here for WIFI Remote Access. I am most certain it will serve your purpose.
First of all thank you guys for such a great apps environment you created for our lazy WM platform.
Second of all I hope I am posting my request in the right place. Could someone start developing an application similar in functions with AirVideo for iphone. Its a basic app with a server(PC) - client(device) side that allows you to play on the phone any video stored on the PC (and any other storage media connected to the PC) without having to actually transfer the video on the device itself.
For more info please check : http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
It would be amazing if someone could achieve this. I would gladlly pay for such an app as I oftenly like to review my video courses I have stored on my PC from the convenience of my phone.
PS: I gave up the iphone platform 6 months ago and I am so much happier with my HD2.

Try orb. i use it on my HD2 and it works great. There's no need for a client app either! Just a browser (built in IE will do).
10x for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this software.
Does it provide access to my content through my wireless router (under a local connection - PC and phone using the same WIFI) or do I have to stream everything through my broadband and their online servers?
All you need for airvideo is that the phone and the pc are connected to the same WIFI. All the streaming is done using the local connection which is good for privacy and there is also the option to convert a video file on the fly.
This sort of functionality I would like on the windows mobile platform if a developer would like to give it a go.

Orb basically turns your PC into a media server. You just use whatever means you want to connect to your PC. I have a use one of those services that gives your PC a name, and I just connect to it via that, so I can do it via my internet connection if I want to, or connect via wifi and use the local IP address (192.168.x.x) to connect that way, but I don't tend to do that much, as I'm obviously in range of my PC if I'm in range of the router
Orb gives you access to specified folders on your PC, and all the media within them. It does images, video and music, so it really is a great addition to any device.
Hi all,
I'll start with what I want to do. Basically I want to be able to access my files on my PC at home from anywhere where I have a network connection, either over 3G or Wifi.
I don't want something like dropbox where I have to sync all my documents/music/videos to dropbox online. That means I have copies on dropbox and on my PC. Plus I am restricted to the space dropbox provides (I think it is 2gb).
I have searched the internet and the market to try and find an app that will help with this but I can't find anything. I don't want to stream anything I simply want to be able to browse my files on my home PC and then copy anything I need from my PC, using my phone, to my phone.
I have heard of Orb but that sounds like it streams the data. Take this scenario... I am in the office and realise I need to show a client a video. I show it streamed from my PC. Someone else comes and wants to see the video but I'm in an area with no data signal, I can't stream! If I could have copied the file to my phone from my PC remotely the 1st time then I wouldn't have that problem.
I hope I've explained this enough. Thanks in advance for any answers, it is much appreciated.
Take a look at this : ES File Explorer
Also take a look at this, too : FileLinx 3G Print or Transfer

I use Windows Home Server to get this functionality. It also gives me automated backup and lots more such as music streaming.
1. set up a ssh/sftp server on your home PC
w w w.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1487/setting-up-a-sftp-server-on-windows
2. use ASTRO, ESfileexplorer, or CIFS manager to mount/access the share remotely. Start by setting up inside your LAN, and makesure it works. Then move to WAN (will probably need to make sure your ISP provides you with a static WAN, and port forward the port the server is using to be able to access it "out in the wild".)
3. access your files whenever you want (as long as PC is on, and server running, and connected to the net)
I have installed Teamviewer on PC and Android version on HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy Tab, working great.
I have tried to use a bluetooth mouse on Desire during such remote connection, which was a bit funny.
I'm using cifs manager, works perfect for me!

Does anyone know about any good alternatives to BitPim? Other than CDMA Workshop or KINO? thx
BitPim uses a different protocol than KinO. I'm not sure what other programs are that can use the same functionality, though.
Is there some specific feature you're looking for that you haven't found in the others?
the key to hacking this phone
i want one that is centered entirely around filesystem browsing. i would use kino but i need something much more powerful. the key to hacking this phone isnt necessarily getting new os. what we want is a better internet browser with more functionality. if you think about it, its the browser that we want to replace because of its low functionality.
Technically it would depend on which protocol you want to use when browsing the phone. KinO uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), and BitPim uses another type of browsing, although I'm not sure what protocol it is. Many older Windows Mobile Devices and other portable devices use a form of Mass Storage protocol, although I can't remember if that's the official name.
It's possible we can get the Kin in that mode now (via the PROGRAMNITT menu), but you need a driver to communicate with it, and as far as I know, we don't have access to a driver to access this mode yet.
