Yo!
i don't know, what exactly you need, but you can explore PocketPC with IE using file://\ in IE's address bar.

Why don't you browse with file explorer to the required location & copy the total path you get in the explorer bar to IE with file:// in front of it?
Cheers, M

that doesn't work.
I'm making a program for my thesis and it writes a txt file with machine calculations. That txt i want to store automatically on a ppc that's coupled with the machine.

be carefull when relying on storage card file paths. From my experience when you press the off button - after about 20-25 seconds the path becomes invalid. I think the ppc stops using it to save power. i wrote a little app that checks these paths and they have dissapeared for a while after power on.
Why is it easier for you to do this with ie rather than another way.
this works for a file on a storage card.
file://\Storage Card\myPic.jpg
do it with a pic to test, because if the file association on the album/viewer is on it will launch the pic so you can see that it worked. You cant browse this way, but if you know the location it can be of some use

But that's from the xplorer of the pocket pc !!
I want to explore my device true a desktop computer

The closest you can probably get is cecopy which is in the windows mobile developers powertoys. using this program you can copy files across like you would at a dos prompt.
eg cecopy C:\output.txt dev:\Storage Card\output.txt
so you could write into the program something that would call on this to copy the generated txt file across to a ppc. it can also be used to copy files back to the ppc.

you can run ftp or http server on your PDA and browse that one with desktop IE.

managing program folders

I am flabbergasted: I can't find a way to manage the folders in Programs. How do I create an application sub folder and how do I move applications into it? This should be intuitive but I just don't find it. Thanks for your help

Using a file explorer (I use Resco), navigate to Windows>Start Manu>Programs. Then Menu>New Folder. You can then move or copy shortcuts as you wish. If you're going to be doing a lot of this, you can also just do it from your PC via Activesync>Exlplore or by using a remote control program like Pocket Controller.

thanks emesbe, but I probably wasn't clear: what I am trying to manage is the icons in "Programs" (e.g. Media, Tools, Games...). How do I move applications in or out? How do I create a new folder of applications?

We may be ships passing in the night here, but I think the answer I gave you is what you are looking for. "Programs" is in the Start Menu subdirectory in Windows. You can rename, move or create new folders in Programs and then put whatever shortcuts you want into them.

It took me a while to figure out what you meant. I still find the process very unintuitive. But thanks a lot

Consider Using A PC
If you have a PC configured with Activesync, why not use it to make the changes. It's a lot easier using a mouse and keyboard, and the familiar Windows interface over Resco or Total Commander.
If you don't want to sync your Fuze to the PC, that's OK, just click cancel on the first PC popup, and you can still "explore" the device from your PC.
Then, from the Activesync window on the PC, click explore, navigate to Windows (takes a while to load) / Start Menu, and move things around to your heart's content using your mouse.
Some files or folders may be marked read only or system. You can sometimes change this from the PC using right-click/properties. Sometimes, you will need to use Resco or TC from the device to change these attributes, but you can then drag/drop from the PC.

[GUIDE] File Sharing b/w Macs & Androids

Draft of Tutorial for FTP FIle sharing
TUTORIAL: FTP File Sharing for Macs & Androids
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I find that for many Mac users, the instructions given within these forums for file sharing between their computers and their Android phones are quite sparse and oftentimes confusing. Mac users use different terminology and generally, are less comfortable with Terminal command line instructions than are PC users. That is not, by any means, intended to disparage Mac users. By anyone's standards, for instance, I would be considered a "power user" or even a techno-geek, yet even I found terms and phrases such as "flashing roms" and "RUU's" confusing! So, this little guide should help any Mac user who is trying to get files from his Mac computer to his Android phone, and visa versa.
What will most confound most Mac users, who are very much used to their devices being "plug and play", is why they can't just plug their Android phone into their computer and have the phone mount like any other drive on their desktop? The problem, of course, is that Mac OS X currently does not support Media Transfer Protocol, or MTP. So, when they plug their Android phones into their computers using a standard USB connection, their Macs cannot "see" the drives.
So, it has been suggested to many of us that we use a program, such as Android FIle Transfer, which uses a different protocol, AFT, to mount our Android phones onto our Macs. The problem is that Android File Transfer, a free download, is oftentimes unreliable and will fail to mount the phone as a drive on the computer. To make matters worse, HTC phones, such as the HTC One, by default will launch a program called, "HTC Sync Manager" which actually will keep the Android FIle Transfer program from mounting the drive.
So, what's a Mac user to do for reliable transfers of information from his Mac to his Android? For small files, such as documents, Dropbox and Google work really well, and their intuitive interface makes them a handy resource for Mac users. But the larger files, such as custom ROM's, firmware updating, and yes, those pesky "RUU's" that need to be installed directly on the Android's sd card pose a real problem.
THE SOLUTION
The Mac user will first need to install the proper "tools" onto his respective devices. On his Android, he will need to install (i.e. not "flash") a FIle Manager, such as ES File Explorer. On his computer, running some variant of Mac OS X, he will need to install an ftp client. I use and recommend a program called, "Transmit", but there are others that will work as well. The ES File Explorer program is available for download at the Google Play Store, and the Transmit app is available from the Mac App Store.
Once these tools have been installed on their respective devices, the Mac user will need to go to his System Preferences and open up the Sharing CP. Both "File Sharing" and "Remote Login" must be checked. Then he should got to Settings on his phone and then to the Developer Options within Settings and select "USB debugging".
Next, he will to make sure that both of his devices are connected to the same WiFi network. On the Mac, WiFi is enabled in the Network CP and on the phone it is enabled under "settings".
Then he will need to open up ES File Explorer on his Android and navigate to Tools. He must click on Tools and then scroll down to "Remote Manager". He will select "Remote Manager", and he should see a screen that says, "Network Status" followed by the name of his WiFi network. Underneath the blue symbol for WiFi will be the statement, "you can manage your device through your PC after you turn on the service." He should click on the button just below that statement. The button will say, "Turn On".
Okay, the setup is nearly complete! Now that the user has enabled WiFi access on his phone, an ftp address will appear just below the blue WiFi symbol with the instruction to, "input the address on your computer". The ftp address will look something like this:
XXX:XXX.X.XX:4038
Now the user will launch the application, Transmit, and select FTP from the drop down menus. A dialog box will appear that will ask for the server, user name, password, initial path, port and type of ftp that he wishes to use. Using our sample ftp address, he should fill out the box as follows:
Server: XXX:XXX.X.XX
User Name: Joe Smith's HTC One [name should match name that was assigned to the phone at setup]
Password: XXXXX [i.e. the password or numerical passcode that is used to unlock the phone at startup]
Initial Path - [leave blank]
Port: 4038 [the last 4 digits of phone's assigned ftp address, i.e. the ones that followed the colon]
FTP: - just select this first option for the type of ftp.
Then he will click the "Connect" button that is at the bottom of this window, and if the application has been configured correctly, he should see a list of all of the files and folders contained in the home directory on his Mac on the left side of the window. On the right will be all of the folders and files that reside on his phone. Now, with a simple drag and drop interface, he can drag files left to right to move files from his computer to his phone, and right to left to move files from his phone to his computer.
This simple, elegant solution to file transfers is perfect, and transfers over ftp are generally very quick. The user will even get a notification when each of his file transfers is complete.
I hope this tutorial helps. Please let me know if it has helped you as well as whether you need additional information.

Write Access From Laptop To USB Drive Help

I've just bought a T95Q and would like to be able to put BBC iPlayer downloads onto it but from a Laptop / PC over the network and believe it needs a \\sambadroid\usb\storage ........ type of address as opposed to being able to enter an IP address for say an FTP server.
I setup Sambadroid and was able to save it as a network location but if ever I tried to copy anything like a film to it from the laptop there was a write access error.
I googled and found various videos on how to change read / write access and used ES File Manager to drill down into System and Build Prop ... I also enabled execute as well as read and write and it bricked when I tried a download.
Someone suggested using Total commander and Paragon ... when I clicked on the drive in Total Commander I received a message saying .... contact my vendor as com.android.documentsui isn't installed .... but also with these tools I think I can only do it via FTP transfer which again isn't recognised.
I've seen a number of threads / videos saying enable write access to "Documents" which should appear in my list of apps but doesn't and I'm guessing is referring to above .... com.android.documentsui isn't installed .... and is where the problem is.
If anybody knows how I can do this to save the storage as a network location / mapped drive for easy access / file transfer from the laptop would be much appreciated .... or am I trying to achieve something that can't be done.

How to transfer and move data from Android to Computer?

Hello guys,
Is anyone facing the problem to move and transfer from Android phone to computer system? Does anyone solve this issue? I am also facing the same problem.

Will it require internet? Is it safe app?
Edit: I don't think any free app are working. You may need to use USB cable to transfer data.

Can't you do that via USB cable in MTP mode? If no, try to ask for help from a third-party program. Usually, such tool can help us to access videos and other data on the Android phone and transfer them to the computer easily. My suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its backup function can help us do that easily and for free. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.

You need to load the Windows driver to do that.
Windows may already have a driver.
Example, if you have a Samsung installing SmartSwitch loads the driver. After the driver is loaded...
go to Disk Management, and scan for new devices. If the Android drive(s) are shown access them directly in this window. You can transfer files and folders.

The backup function is free to use.

Upload the data to your Google Account to then use them on your computer.
Use a chat app that’s accessible on your computer to transfer file.
Or use some 3rd party tool, such as AirDroid,.MobiKin, Xender...

If MTP transfers (Typical USB transfers) are unstable, you can try using FTP over a local network (Your home WiFi router, USB tethering). This method is way more stable than MTP. Once configured, it can be easily used.
For security, use this guide only on home networks. Otherwise, take security precautions
Install an FTP app on phone - install Amaze File Viewer (free, lightweight, FTP available with a good file viewer)
Connect both mobile and PC into the same network. (For example, You can either follow step 2 or step 3. Otherwise, you can use any other method to connect these devices to a network such as wifi-direct)
Connect the phone to the PC using a USB
Connect phone and PC using a cable
Enable the "USB tethering" option in phone settings. (Usually faster)
Connect both phone and PC to the same router using WiFi or cables. (Fast with a good router and a good phone)
Connect the phone to the router
Connect the PC to that router
This method doesn't consume your internet quota even if your connection is limited.
Open FTP Server from your FTP app on your phone -
Open the Amaze app
Open the left pane by clicking the menu icon on the top left corner
Select "FTP Server"
Configure FTP server settings
Click the options icon on the top right of the FTP server page of the Amaze app
Disable secure connections, Read only access, etc...
Click logins and disable anonymous login
fill in some user detail (eg: username="abc", password="bcd")
Click start to start the FPS server.
It should display an URL address like "URL - ftp://192.168.42.129" and a port (such as port- 21).
The link should have "ftp" instead of "ftps"
Otherwise, disable the "secure connections" option in settings and restart the server (stop then start again).
View files from windows explorer
Open windows explorer
Type or paste the link you obtained in step 6 in the address bar
Windows explorer will then ask you for login details
Fill in the details you configured in step 5
If everything went fine, you will be able to browse your files using the familiar windows explorer view. It might take some time to load. You can copy, delete, rename or move files as you wish.
Make sure you recheck the login details and link every time you change the connection or settings. After changing any setting on the Amaze app, try stopping and starting the FTP server again. You can also change the "shared path" of your phone in the Amaze FTP server settings.
