Hi all,
First post here. :roll:
Anyway, i have recently got a Vario and i have sucessfully connected it up to a latop wifi via an ad hoc setup. Anyway, i know its working properly because i can view webpages that are being dished up via a webserver installed on the laptop (using IP address as the url).
Anyway, i now want to copy some files off the laptop (via a shared folder). I have opened up file explorer and selected browse path and then entered the ip address and the share (\\192.168.0.1\share). However, WM5 does not want to connect to it saying that it cannot find the server.
Is this a known issue with the file explorer? :?:
Cheers
Okay, found the problem now. Aparently you have to use the actually names instead of IP addresses.
I have tried endlessly trying to get this to work but I can't. My pc is connected to my wireless router by wire and my wizard by wifi an I'd like to access my PC files from my wizard (and the other way round if possible) Do I need an Ad-hoc connection for this? I have tried using resco, Gsfinder+, total commander and the built in file explorer to map a network drive but it never works. TC and GSfinder say the usual connot connect bla bla and "Error 53". I have also tried setting my connection to connect to 'Work' but this had no effect.
I have enabled file and printer sharing on the PC, and shared the 'shared documents' folder. Then in 'My Network Places' I added the folder as a network place. The PC's name is 'Family' and the shared folders name is SharedDocs. If I right click on the folder (called 'SharedDocs on Family')and select properties, it says '\\FAMILY\SharedDocs' but If I try this on my wizard it does not work. What am I doing wrong? I don't get it?
Anyone any ideas?
Anyone?
Thanks in Advance
Problem fixed. Recently got a laptop, set up shared folders and printer sharing, then it started to work on my phone
What app do I need to browse the filesystem on a shared drive on my computer once I'm wifi'd into the local router?
Swiftp
or maybe
aFile
Hope this helps
Those are both good, my personal new favorite is
Estrongs File Explorer

i have a windows mobile 6.1 device and recently i changed some usernames and passwords on the file server at my house. now every time i try to connect to a share either file explorer and total commander i keep getting access denied errors and the phone doesent give me any option to use a different username and password to access the share. the only thing i can think of is that the user names and passwords associated with the ip address of the server are cached somewhere in the registry.
so how the bloody hell do i delete all cached usernames passwords and login information for local network shares so that the retarted file browser applications will prompt me to enter the right info instead of just failing
Hi, im looking for an office app for android who can save to a network disk.
We have a VPN who is connected to a server, then we use Esstrong fileexplorer to connect to the server and find the MS office document we wanna edit.
Here is the problem:
1. We can only open the file as "Read-only"
2. We have not found a application who can save to a network disk, only local memory and SD card.
So basiclly we want to open the file on the server, and save it to the same location we found it.
This is on a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Steps to transfer files from PC to Android via Wi-Fi:
Let’s start by installing WebSharing Google play store.
When you start up with, you will be given an IP address and a 5-character alphanumeric password that will allow access to our data.
Now just open any window of your browser and copy the IP address appeared on the screen of the app.
Enter the password that was provided in the form responsible.
Click to go forward.
This will open a file browser in this way it will show you the contents of your smartphone with the possibility of access to all folders.
