remote desktop tutorial

is there a remote desktop tutorial or how to guide? as i dont know how to work the thing but id love some help

try to use XP remote desktop, it is same !

you must create an admin account (or use a existing one) with a password..
then press "winkey+pausebreak" and click on the "remote" tab
check the box "alow users to connect remotely...."
note the name bellow this check box, that is the name your computer is seen in the world wild web..
connect your phone via active sync (to use the internet connection)
open the remote desktop app on your ppc
fill the blanks with the data you have collected/created:
Computer: the name bellow the check box
user name: your user account on windows logon
password: your password
domain: not needed
remember, the windows account (logon) must be without limitations, i mean, an admin account
mine is working here

You dont need an Admin-account
just add your Account to the group remotedesktop-users, its even more secure...

And...note that by default, an account with empty password cannot be accessed through remote desktop (However you can override by setting security policy).

Files from Windows 7 to HTC Desire via WLAN?

I'm looking for some combination of software to transfer mp4 files over to my home as simple as possible. Right now I'm looking into 2 Apache servers on the phone itself.
Is there a better solution? Maybe some software that can read directly from a Win7 shared drive? Or even a good FTP client?

For transfer of single files, I allready have an apache server running on my laptop. I have AutoHotKey set up to automagically display QRCode for the url for a file I select in Windows Explorer.
For transfering more, I usually just use the USB cabel

I use swiftftp on my phone and use FileZilla on my pc to transfer

Estrongs file explorer can mount windows smb shares directly from the phone, with the user name and password, of a valid user that has access to the shared volumes.
Tested in win7 ultimate 64bit and vista with an htc desire.
You can't use the pc's netbios name to access the shares, instead you need to use its IP address in the estrongs dialog.

I have an stream portal running on my computer. Jinzora. But when I clicked on the download in Inbuild browser. Nothing happened. I tried with Opera Mini then and it opened a download but it never started to transfer. So I have to try to run apache on the phone itself.

Will try that to but I'm not sure what smb shares are. Are this normal shares when you click right click on a drive and share with advanced settings?
I dont have any users set. Just Everyone under premissions.
I actually always had problems to setup shares since Vista and upwards. Funny in XP they worked fine. Not parcticually with Win-Phone, but WInXP-WinXP.

thanks ... Estronge file explorer is excellent... works like a charm...

Yes this Estrong file explorer sees my both computer just fine. But When I try to connect it asks for a password and username. I never set any of this. Dont even know where to set it up.

It's a bit beyond the scope of this forum, but to create a new user or modify an existing one :
Open control panel and click user accounts, if there is a user already in the system (most likely there is), just create a password for him.
Logging through the network with the above credentials will give you access to the users home folder (C:\users\"username" without the quotes) by default.

Android inTRAnet only - DNS suffix to 'com' with NO servers

Hi all,
is there a place on our Android phones where I can set the DNS suffixes to change 'pc' and 'm' to 'pc.com' and 'm.com' for my inTRAnet only?
I've setup an inTRAnet at home using IIS 5.1 on Windows XP sp3.
I have NO server OSs available.
So NO DNS nor WINS server are avaialble.
All three of us at home have pcs. With a few more around the house.
I've setup each pc to use Simple DNS server to redirect 'pc.com' to my IIS 5.1 server. (via Preferred DNS server in Tcp/IP settings on each PC)
I also had to set the 'Append these DNS suffixes' in Advanced TCP/IP setting | DNS by adding 'com' on each PC to suffix
pc.com is where I have a web page for family notes, schedules, reminders, etc.
All three of us at home have Android phones.
I've setup each pc to use Simple DNS server to redirect 'm.com' to my IIS5.1 server. (again via Preferred DNS server in Tcp/IP settings on each PC)
My pcs take Advantage of the previously setup TCP/IP setting | DNS | 'com' to change 'm' to 'm.com.
m.com is where I have mobile formatted web pages for the same type of info.
I've set each mobile to use the Simple DNS Server using Wi-Fi Settings | advanced | DNS 1.
both pc.com and m.com work on all our mobiles.
is there a place on our Android phones where I can set the DNS suffixes to change 'pc' and 'm' to 'pc.com' and 'm.com' for my inTRAnet only?
Like I did on our PCs?
A hyperlink to a step-by-step process would be preferred as I have no experience in command level settings etc. on androids.
Or perhaps an Android app?
Thanks for your time reading this post.
And thanks in advance for any positive constructive and verbose assistance.
All my best,
Barry G. Sumpter

I'm not sure i understand your problem?
You could edit
"/system/etc/hosts"
to change what the addresses get resolved too.
Could set m and pc to be resolved to your servers intranet ip.

Thanks for the reply.
I've already changed the Hosts file on the android using the Android app:
Hosts Edit
But neither m nor pc are getting resolved to 192.168.1.6
Unless I'm not getting the entries correct:
Ip Address: 192.168.1.6
Host Entries: m
Ip Address: 192.168.1.6
Host Entries: pc
All android browser are just searching google for m or pc.
Any other suggestions from anyone?
Also, that list is absolutely huge!
about 10,000 entries. Exagerated.
I was trying to find my entries but gave up since there is no search on that app.

[Q] Putty on Windows RT and SSH port forwarding

I am wondering if the version of putty published by Netham45:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348&highlight=putty
Has the port forwarding capability enabled
I tried doing the following:
Jailbreaked my tablet
Ran Putty
configured port forwarding: added port 3128 to forward to webproxy.myemployer.org (it's just an example), following the instructions here
Used putty confugured as indicated to connect to the remote server
Configured proxy options in Internet Explorer to localhost and port 3128
Followed the instructions here (do not use the square brackets in the key names, or the batch will fail) to create a batch file that copies the proxy settings from internet explorer and activates it system-wide
Ran the batch as admin
Verified through regedit that the settings have been copied and ProxyEnable was = 1
Tried to connect to my intranet using the desktop and metro versions of Internet Explorer 10
However, the connection was unsuccessful
I use ConnectBot in Android to do the port forwarding and it works without any issue
So, I was thinking that:
Maybe Putty RT was compiled without port forwarding support (which would make it almost useless given that the SSH in the store can do most of what Putty can)
I have made a mistake along the way
Since I am a new user I cannot ask in the Putty thread. Of course, this is not a general putty question. It is very specific to Windows RT and the only place to ask is at xda-developers.com
Thanks

The port forwarding seems to work for me. I tested it by setting up a tunnel to another SSH server, and then opening another instance of PuTTY connecting to the first tunnel, which came out on the host I expected it to. I did explicitly configure it by IP address since I've never bothered testing whether the hostname for the endpoint of a local tunnel is resolved by the local system or the remote system (which might have different results based on the nameservers on either end).

Putty Tunneling Works, Windows Proxy settings don't
I tested that the tunneling is working :
First, I configured Putty with port forwarding as described above (port 3128)
Then I opened an SSH connection with Putty to the remote service
Configured the Desktop version of IE 10 to use as proxy localhost, and as port 3128
Accessed the Intranet with Desktop IE 10
The issue is really that I do not know how to force the Metro Apps to use the proxy. I tried following the suggestions
at the URL below, but it didn't work.
ht tp://fo rums.wpcentral.com/surface-windows-rt/203989-proxy-use-surface-rt.html
To test, open cmd.exe as Administrator, then type the following:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
Then
Code:
netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie
Then tried to access the Intranet with the Metro IE 10, but I could not.
I even tried configuring the proxy directly, without IE:
Code:
netsh winhttp set proxy localhost:3128
But it does not work either (not even for IE 10 Desktop, with proxy turned off in Internet Options)
I also followed Method 2 in the page below, and use as Domain Proxy: localhost:3128. Still cannot access the Intranet in IE10 (both Metro and Desktop)
ht tp://ww w.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/7e39ca/how-to-configure-proxy-for-metro-apps-in-windows-8
Any clue on how to force Metro Apps to use putty as proxy?

It might be a problem with the Metro environment not allowing connections back to localhost for whatever reason... that's the only thing I can think of.
I just tried again, with putty configured to run a SOCKS proxy on localhost:1234.
Added the proxy to the IE settings
netsh winhttp...: got the message that a global SOCKS proxy had been configured:
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
Proxy Server(s) : socks=localhost:1234
Bypass List : none
Loaded stuff in desktop IE10 - worked without issues.
Went to Metro - opened a few things. Mail didn't seem out of the ordinary, but then again, I don't get mail all that frequently. Weather looked about right. IE in Metro refused to open Google or Facebook.
Closed IE completely. Tried again: no dice. Neither site opened, even though I just had Google open in Desktop IE10.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyServer is DWORD:1, as set by the IE "Internet Settings" panel...
It looks like it's ignoring connections to the local PuTTY instance - setting the proxy settings, going to Metro IE, and reloading is getting me SYN_SENT as the state in "netstat /n"... looks like the Windows Firewall configuration.
Sounds like the next place to look is the Windows Firewall configuration, which on RT looks to only be available through WF.msc.

I was able to make Metro Internet Explorer (IE) 10 to work as follows:
Jailbroke my tablet
Ran Putty
Configured port forwarding: added port 3128 to forward to webproxy.myemployer.org (it's just an example), following the instructions here
Used putty configured as indicated in the previous step to connect to the remote server
Configured proxy options in Desktop IE 10:
Address: localhost
Port: 3128
Checked "Use a proxy server for your LAN ..."
Added Metro IE10 an an app exempted of IP loopback restrictions and allowed access to loopback addresses (so that it can connect to localhost):
Code:
CheckNetIsolation.exe loopbackexempt -a -p=S-1-15-2-1430448594-2639229838-973813799-439329657-1197984847-4069167804-1277922394
Before exempting Metro IE 10, I also changed the Network Isolation options as follows:
Run “gpedit.msc”
Under Computer Configuration browse the Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Isolation.
Enable the Proxy definitions are authoritative and Internet proxy servers for apps. I put as proxyort "localhost:3128" (without the quotes)
However, I doubt that made any difference. Unless IE10 Desktop is configured to use the proxy (putty in this case) and Metro IE10 is exempted from loopback restrictions, the latter will not connect to our intranet.

How to connect to my FTP server with my phone

Hi
I have setup a FTP server on my windows 11 PC, I've connected to it via FileZilla and logged into it via 'add network location' under 'my computer'
I'm trying to log into it with this app
But it's not only that app that won't connect to my FTP server I also can't connect to it via chrome using
Code:
FTP://192.168.0.2
can anyone tell me the right way to do it.
THanks!

Why not use AndFTP v5.6 ?
