I am using ES File Explorer and have set it up to include all my cloud storage as well as shared folders on my LAN. All works great over Wi-Fi but have not managed to figure out how to set it up to access my LAN shared folders remotely over Internet.
Is it possible and if yes can you please let me know how or point me to some instructions.

I'm trying to use Astro (with SMB Module) to move some files from my phone to my PC. I am able to access the files in my PC using Astro but I cannot copy or move any files. I just want to move a video file from the Evo to my PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help in advance
E strongs file explorer works great for file transfers using the p.hone. Or websharing for accessing and modifying files from your computer remotely.
Also your problem could be your network shares are set to read only without write access.

It's most likely permission issues. You could test using an admin share to confirm.
Are their any good Wifi app's to view folders and Files on my network at home?

I use cifs manager to mount network shares and just browse them with the "My Files" app or Root explorer. You need to find a cifs.ko file that works with your phone though.

+1 for Estrongs.
I haven't managed to play video files through that route yet (always get unplayable error in the player) but its not that big of a deal. Its really cool to move stuff by wifi so easily, and it works both ways. Much happy.
I have a network drive at my home, is there any app that i can map network drive? Meaning i can acess the drive from my desire?
thanks
ASTRO File Manager has a SMB module. You could try that.
If by mapping you mean mounting, your device must be rooted and using a kernel with CIFS support.
You can then use CifsManager to manage your cifs/nfs network shares.
If you just need to browse or download files from your NAS to your phone, ASTRO or ES File Explorer will be fine.
If you want any application to be able to access your NAS seamlessly like it was a local folder, you will need CIFS support.
I just need to browse, view and delete files so ill use astro.
I need some help setting it up.
What do I enter in the server, share, domain and directory fields?
Which field do I enter the IP and the shared folder name?

Hello, i was wondering how to transfer files on Two android devices, via WIFI tether example two devices have Wi-Fi On and how they can transfer files between send/receive?
Is there any application like this or something..?
thanks in advance
Try Bump or Hoccer, they both send the files via internet. If you want a local solution, set up ftp on one and access it from the other with any capable file manger (i.e. ES File Explorer).
Hey, does anyone know if it's possible to grant ownership permissions to a remote access point (FTP engine on my PC) with ES Remote File Explorer? I'm trying to copy files from root that I can access locally on my phone but when the FTP attempts to access them, the phone kicks me out and reboots.
Thanks,
Zen
