those of you who ever used a jailbroken iphone probably know about the ability to set it up as an openssh sever and access it through winscp or whatever so you can move files in and out wirelessly, like a wireless hard drive mode.
anyone know how to get this to work on evo?
Yup. ADB does all that (just over USB instead of IP).
Yes, im well aware of adb and that's why i asked the question about ssh not adb. I want to do it wirelessly not wired.
I also want my EVO to print money, make me an island, then turn into a jet and fly me there.
But on a more serious note, have you tried just looking on the market? Just now I searched for "ssh" and the eight hit is "QuickSSHd" which is basically an SSH server for $1.50. Does it support OpenSSH RSA keys? I don't know but it's existence proves that having an SSH server on the phone is possible.
may only work on CyanogenMod (which the EVO should be getting soonish): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Connect_to_Your_Android_Device_with_SSH
or someone just posted about this method to transfer files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726968
there is another program (cant remember the name) that basically sets up a webserver with webdav on your phone....

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.
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.
May seem kind of weird and you may be asking why I want to do this.
I have a little minitop PC set up and hooked into a TV. The way it's layed out, a mouse and keyboard would not fit in at all. It seems logical I can somehow use the evo as the mouse and/or keyboard on demand.
I see two general possibilities...
1) Using Bluetooth (I'd assume it would be using an AOSP rom such as Cyanogens because of the BT stack)
2) Some sort of remote desktop software that *doesn't* log out the computer once the evo logs in. Windows built in remote desktop is great, however when you log in remotely it brings the computer to the login credentials screen where it says someone now is logged into the computer.
What do you guys think? Is it a possibility?
Have you tried Gmote? I think it's exactly what you are looking for.

install a VNC agent on your PC and use a VNC client on your android like android VNC.
Thank you guys, I'm trying out both as we speak =)

+1 on phone my PC, its always work great for me.
I realize that this device has the Remote PC app; however, I was trying to set up the LAN connection to my PC and the estrong app doesn't even give me the opportunity to add a remote server. No problem from my other devices. Is this part of Knox or the Samsung UI? This is the first device I don't have root on (12.2) and my first experience with anything wearing samsung cloak (had Google gnex) so not sure what's going on. Thanks for any help.
EDIT: I had no problem in Ghost Commander so I guess I need to contact the estrong team.
EDIT, again: I went back to the estrong app (I have an incredibly hard head) and after signing in through GC, everything (scan, add) was accessible. LAN connection successful. Don't know what that was all about.
I currently have a fireTV, two fireTV sticks, and a Raspberry pi all running XBMC (my plan is to replace the Raspberry pi with one of the sticks eventually). Each of these units currently keeps it's own database which makes them a pain to keep in sync. What I would like to do is move to a shared mysql database to keep track of my library, watched status, etc.
I know this can be done on a computer which is always on, but I would rather not have a PC running constantly just for this purpose. Is there any way to host the mqsql server on the FireTV (which is always on anyway)? Has anyone tried this?
I tinkered a little bit just trying to get it to work on my tablet using Ulti Server but could never get XBMC to successfully connect to the database.
My other option is to try and host it on my RT-N66U asus router as explained here: http://www.hints.dk/en/2013/03/13/mysql-server-on-rt-n66u-or-rt-ac66u-for-shared-xbmc-library/ but that requires a bit more modification than I really wanted to do.

1. Where is your media coming from? If a NAS or HTPC... why not host MySQL on there?
2. If you plan to retire the Pi, host the DB on there. This isn't as speedy as some would like but I haven't researched this recently and only had a 256mb Pi at the time.
3. If you have a hosted domain, it most likely comes with a MySQL DB (or several). You could use this option but again, it may not be the fastest due to latency.
3. From my experience on the Windows side, the problem with your UtilServer DB is probably related to a firewall. You need to figure out how to let Android openly communicate on port 3306.

Thanks for the response!
1. Media is hosted by the RT-N66U wireless router. It can be modified to host MySQL but it requires some hacking to make it happen. Doable but not as elegant as I would like.
2. Yes, I considered that option but I have another project in mind for the pi. Still might go this route though.
3. No hosted domains
4. Certainly a possibility, although when I tried it I had the UtilServer DB and SPMC on the same tablet and still couldn't get a connection using the localhost address. I don't remember the exact errors I was getting (this was a few weeks ago).
This is actually a really interesting question. I know that there is android software to host a MySQL server, but never considered sideloading it on the FireTV for XBMC/Kodi library until now. I'm going to look into this prospect this weekend. I'll report my findings.
I haven't tested this being hosted from the FireTV yet, but I can confirm that I can host the database for Kodi on Android via my phone. I used Servers Ultimate Pro to do it and was able to connect from my phone as well as from the FireTV. I'd assume that it would work just fine from the FireTV as well, but still need to confirm.
