I have just ripped all my music to a second (non system) drive in my PC.
I have set all the PC's in the house to access it over the network.
Can I set my Desire (Bravo) up to see the music files also?

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!

I use a DLNA NAS in the house to conenct to my PS3 which my DHD happily connects to and plays music from.
Is there a way of copying music from the NAS drive to my DHD?
Thanks.
ftp directly to it
Download Es file explorer. You will then be able to access your nas over WiFi and if you activate ftp you can access the nas over 3G.
When all connections are set just copy files from the nas to your SD card.

Im always download a movie on my computer
and watch on my phone streaming from the computer via htc media server app.
After i update my phone to v1.28 it seems the htc media server dont recognized a video file on my computer anymore.
It recognized only the music file.
have u guys also a problem with htc media server?
I have this issue as well, worked fine on my Senastion running ICS - Sense 3.6. I think it is a bug in the software.
Download bubbleupnp. U can even set it up to watch ur videos using mobile internet, or even another WiFi to which your media server on. Used with mx player it can play almost all files.
Very good app, I stream music and videos off my home media server when I'm in work 20 miles down the road.
