Hi
I would like to share a folder on my PPC (HTC Touch).
I have my PPC and laptop connected to my router.
I'm able to 'ping' to the PPC.
But: How do I share a folder on my PPC?
Or How do I connect to a folder shared on my laptop?
I tried every program of my PPC but I can't find it.
With Pocket Lan (http://www.z2software.com/) you can connect from your PPC to a share on your laptop. To my knowledge the reverse is not possible.
Try Mocha FTP Server on your PPC
Connect to your lan, start Mocha FTP and on your PC open ftp://ip_of_ppc.
ok so i have used remote desktops apps and everything but im looking for an app that just shows different drives on your home pc and able to open them up and play on your pc...
so it would kinda look like astro file manager but you can look though you pc
the closes that i have got was Gmote but they open it in there own player..
i wanna open and play it thought vlc
would be better to use wifi but bluetooth is ok 2
anyone come across a app like this???
I think there is an app that would fit your request... it`s calles "vlc remote" and turns your phone into a remote for the vlc on your pc via wifi, you can download it from the market
I hope that is, what you are searching for... i´m not sure if I understood your request in the right wy, my english is not very goot
You can use droid explorer: http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/39922 or

gmote may work for you, in the market
and you install the server portion on your pc, you connect via lan/wifi to your home pc. you can browse through your drives/folders like you would in astro and when you click on a movie file it will play it on your pc monitor, the video player is built into gmoteserver (pc side)
you can also install vnc server on your pc and then install vnc on android (market vnc)
and control it just like you would a normal vnc session.
i myself am looking for a file browser for android that will let me browse network shares and let me copy files to my sdcard

as i said in my first post gmote dose this but when you open a .avi file it opens it in its own weird player and dont run the codec from vlc so the video isnt as clear (is there a fix for that)... but yer i want something just like that... but opens the files in vlc...
im using a remote desktop atm (VNC) without much enjoyment.. its ok i guess just would like a simple app to all drives and pick a file to play full screen on my computer to the look of astro

sorry i must not have read your OP sorry about that.
there is another app gremote much more polished version but its a paid app (market app free but pc software is costs)
besides a vnc type app, i dont know of any app for the pc that will let you remotely launch files too. so if its not there for the pc, its probably not there for the android.
im going to search google for remotely executing files that may lead us to an app that may be made for the android
only other thing i can think of is continue using vnc, switch to media player home cinema as it pauses/play on mouse click. setup a play list on the pc, then use your phone to vnc in to play/pause/volume up/down.
next to that cordless mouse and keyboard =)
So you are looking for a Media Remote Control application.

No no no. What you want is estrongs file explorer. Browse network shares via
Samba (PC networking) or ftp. Over wifi for lan shares or 3G with ftp.
You can ditch Astro after that find.
If you need to do it the other way around; browse the phone's file system with a pc or other device, use swiftp which is an ftp server.

astro just came out with SMB support, you can browse network files through that now too
hi, in windows mobile I had a very small app that integrated native network access to the os, that way I could simply navigate into my shared folders on my computer using any app, without any app needing samba support cause my computer's shared folders were seen by those programs as a normal folder in windows mobile, kinda like a diferent partition alongside the sdcard, and so it allowed me to use any video player for example and just browse to my network folder like we do from one computer to another and like that watch the videos I have stored in my computer in my mobile.
I was wondering if there is any app that adds that network integration to the android os so that any program can easily access shared folders on a computer?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Is there an application for the pc (windows xp) that will allow browsing and file transfer (both ways) on a windows mobile device connected to LAN via WiFi?
Note that I am looking for a PC app, not a WM app.
Thanks
Is it possible to see an android storage device on a windows network?
I can see a windows or LAN network from my ES explorer on Android, but it would be great to see my android media center on my windows network

Check out if the media storage you want to find is shared and can be seen with smb protocol. Most probably there are no shared folders set on your media center.

Install on Android device LAN drive then Android will get seen as a network drive in Windows OS.
LAN drive - SAMBA Server & Cli - Apps on Google Play
Transform your device to a wireless usb key (network drive)
