Easy transfer Phone <==> PC (via ftp wifi) - Desire General

I've been having problems with my microSD card becoming inaccessible/'unformatted' using the supplied cable and pc usb connection, so thought I'd try it via ftp over wifi (or 3G)...after hacking something together I found a simple tutorial for Windows
http://www.trickyways.com/2010/09/how-to-transfer-files-between-android-computer-wireless/
All you need is an ftp-server app (SwiFTP here) and Windows (other OS easily adaptable I assume) and then follow the simple instructions.
One tip I have is the 'Stay within folder' setting in SwiFTP: set it to /mnt/sdcard/ to go straight to your micro sd card and start drag'n'dropping/deleting files as needed. [I now use File Expert app as it can start both FTP and HTTP servers, and SMB my pc ]

Furthermore, I've set up SyncBackPro to sync/backup the micro SD card contents to my pc.
Free, local, and cable-less backup.

android manager is what i use..it works great! u just install it on your computer and on your phone then sync wirelessly...
MyPhoneExplorer is my fav
Thanks very much!
I use Swiftp. Really nice speed, mounts as a FTP server
I used to use Android Manager until I came across snap n go.
it's remarkably good and clever. you just point your device to your file(s) and hit a button and bingo... you got your files!
it can also copy text,urls and copy files from your phone to your pc of course and it's faster than Android Manager.
It's a samsung app made specifically for sgs.

Hi guys, today i try access in NAS (Buffalo LS-CL) at home with Opera Mobile and it's had worked in my mozart

- Copy from NAS to WP7 very fast (2Mb/s wifi)
- Use app wPhoExplorer to My Documents in you device, rename (zip to xap and install)
(sory, my English very bad)

Did the same thing different software...nd using htc hd2 running android via wifi file manager
u can try "HFS file server" and use internet explorer
All WebFtp sites (Net2FTP) works with authorisation too. But, look for WP7 native FTP application.

TWRP Backup' s folder strucure messed up?

Hello
I just did yesterday my first full Backup with TWRP recovery. I moved (real move, no copy) the Folder from the Telephones External-SD card to my windows 7 PC Folder. 2 Strange Things happen
1. The Folder size of TWRP backup is 32GB which should be impossible due SD Card hat about 22GB Free space after the backup was made and i also stored aditional stuff on the SD card right after that....
2. When i looked into the Moved Folder every File was like 5 times duplicated and also the size matched, and they only were different in file name. See screenshot...
Im trying to restore this backup now. I picked the files without a "(number)" in the filename. I hope it works..
Any Idea how that could happen? (N7100 16gb International, rooted) (samsung micro sdhc 32gb class 10)

Backup: Why is there a file size/count difference on MTP connection?

In the mist of backing up all my files from my Sprint SGS3, I realized that in Windows 7, the File Size/ Size on Disk / and File Counts are wayyy different than what is being calculated on the phone via Root Explorer/FileExplorer like apps on the phone itself.
Is that because x86 is uing NTFS vs the SGS3 is uing FAT partitions?
I feel like I am not backing up everything....
PS - I am using the Samsung drivers provided and used by the QCom Toolkit, which I think are the Samsung drivers that everyone recommends to use. And on the phone it says device connected using MTP.

VS.
Files were copied from PHONE to Windows machines using MTP. But the file count on Root Explorer for /sdcard is:
Files : 18845
Folders: 1155
Total Size : 7.38 GB (7,927,578,083 bytes)

System recognizes SD-card but will not install apps on it

I just installed Beanstalk Release 6 on my HTC Desire and partitioned the SD-card with the mentioned partition guide. Everything works as it should except that I am not able to install apps on the SD-card.
For some reason the SD-card is not recognized by some parts of the system. In a file manager and under Device -> Storage the card is there just fine..

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but under Device -> Partition info and under Manage apps the card is either reported as not available or simply not there:
This somehow means that I am able to put content on the SD-card but I am not able to install apps on it. I have tried re-partitioning with both the size and file system the guide proposes and with other sizes and systems but with no luck. Anyone know how to fix this so I can install apps on the SD-card?
Thank you
Solved by installing release 7. This thread can be closed.
