Is there a Remote Desktop applicaion that can copy from PC and save to device?

I have tested team viewer and phone2PC with no luck.
I used to run RemoteTouch on my old Touch HD. Just got a Desire HD and miss the ability to be a thousand miles away from home, realising I haven't got the song I wanted to listen to and copy and pasting it to my SD card.
I've also had a look at RemoteVNC and Xtralogic but they log the computer out on connection.
Is there anything out there?
Here's a link to RemoteTouch, highly recommended for Winmo users
http://t2remotetouch.blogspot.com/

Think Remote Desktop by xtralogic allows save to sdcard. RemoteVNC Pro might do it too.

Almost
Thanks for the reply, they look pretty cool. Only thing that is getting me is that they log the user out so to get any files I would have to interrupt the session. It's a bit of a pain if my girlfriend then needs the computer and I have to give out my password.
Sorry, I should have specified in the first post. Will edit now

DropBox? Is that what you mean?

No, that's specific and requires me pre-empting what I might forget.
Looking for a remote desktop app with the ability to transfer files that doesn't logout users. Have a look at T2 Remote touch, that app was awesome and exactly what I'm looking for

Have you tried logmein ignition? I can't test it right now, but it should do what you want.

I have phonemyPC and can't find any file transfer features. Checked the feature list for logmein and can't see file transfer
https://secure.logmein.com/UK/products/ignition/android/features.aspx
I can't find any that do apart from the ones that log out of the computer.
I miss remote touch

One option is to use ES file explorer. It's the best explorer I have found and it supports local access, Bluetooth access, LAN access and finally ftp access. I have tested all these features except ftp. As I understand it though you could create a ftp server on your desktop to share your files over the web and use this app as a client. Another advantage of creating a ftp server is you can access your files through any internet browser.
I'm still struggling with creating the ftp server at the moment. It seems you need a bit of knowledge in web hosting and networking. If anyone can help I would be grateful.
I am using LAN feature atm. I just browse my PC files through the app and copy and paste anything to local SD card. Highly recommended.
Hope this helps.

MyPhonexplorer does the job well although at times it does not work at all for me. Try it. It slows transfer via by or wifi

You could also use LogMeIn or Teamviewer to browse through your files, and copy them to the dropbox folder. Then access them from the mobile. Pretty messy but it works.

Just a tip for easy FTP server setup: FileZilla FTP Server - runs great on WinXP-7 and is easy to setup/use. ES File Explorer works great for ftp access (in my experience).

You should definitely check Browsix (a new app I just released). It has a file manager (+ media viewer) which you can access by pointing your computer browser to www .browsix. com.
The site redirects you to your phone, and that's where the fun starts...
Let me know if you like this app or not.
Thanks,
Stijn

Can you post a video in your thread? I'm very interested in this app but paranoid about clicking unfamiliar links, especially on my work computer. It's only because you only have one or two posts, no offense intended.

Guys, I added some more explanation about Browsix in the other thread. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9714021&postcount=6
Hopefully I can convince you that we are not spam. I took a lot of time to develop this android application

I believe you now and I think it's an awesome concept! I was only nervous because you only had 1 post at the time. Now I'm looking forward to trying this out at home.
I assume we'll have full root access on rooted devices?

Sorry currently not. But this feature is scheduled on the next release to support. Normally we will deliver a new release to our users on every weekend.

Getting better and better.

I discover File Expert couple of months ago. By far my favorite. I don't even look for an alternative by now.
Great job guys.

Okay guys, I'm going to give a testimony.
I've used Astro, ES, Linda and then this. This is a COMPLETE package. I love how I can grab some files from my laptop wirelessly, have root access, and have a beautiful file manager all at once. This has been the best file manager I've ever used, and I highly recommend it.

ES gone now...

Hi,
thank you for recommending FE! We think it's time to change, Astro and ES are good app but we think we can provide more useful and powerful alternative.

Amazing app, I switched a couple weeks ago. I put in feature requests on your forum, mainly for a refresh button for the toolbar.
Some other things that would be nice:
more archive support (7z for example)
And the 'download any file from the browser's feature astro has.
I use FE primarily, but because it lacks 7z support and the browser download feature I am forced to keep two other file managers handy.
Anyway this app is still superior to all other file managers, keep up the good work!

This is a really cool app. One request:
Option to show Toolbar only when at least one item is checked, or by pressing Menu while at least one item is checked.
Also, for some reason it takes a while (around 1 full second) for the Operation menu to show after I click on the button. Should it take this long?

I'm totally trying it!!!! As soon as I get home

No, it's not. I have tested the popup speed when touching the Oper button on various phones and tablets, all of them shows the menu immediately. I cannot feel any delay.

My phone and more information is in my signature. See below. I avoided the problem by putting the cut, copy, and delete functions as buttons in the toolbar instead.

File Expert App thumbs up

Just wanted to share an app I found on the market that is truely awesome. It is called File Expert and it is a utility that allows you to browse the files on your device. It has root explorer functions and a whole host of other file operations and tools. The best thing it contains is a built in file transfer utility that allows you to transfer files via web browser, FTP, etc. from your computer to the device. And all of this for free what's not to love about this app??? I downloaded WiFi File transfer from Amazon because it was on a limited free download special several days ago and never even used it as File Expert does the same thing and very well i might add. Just an awesome app I highly recommend.

Really good APP...I just installed and it is really fast over the WiFi network too. I also used Windows Explorer to use the ftp//ip port command to bring up the directory and transfer files and it works like a dream. Thanks for letting us know about this little gem!

[Free][App][2.3+] UNCOPT Holo File Browser w/ su, dual views

UNCOPT File Browser is the nicest and most innovative Holo styled file browser for Android with root capabilities.
It provides all the features needed to browse and organize your pictures, files, documents and videos. It gives you access to the internal storage, sd card, external usb storage devices, internal filesystem and more (with plugins) .
Unlike other available file browsers on the market, UNCOPT File Browser also offers unique features:
Resizable split view: a simple swipe will split the screen in two and give the user two independent browsable panels that can be resized at will. File managing becomes even easier and more efficient.
Efficient archive browsing (zip, tar): unlike other apps, the archive content is never extracted in a temporary folder (or even in memory). The specific parts that need to be accessed (to display or send them) are streamed on access.
Nested archives: unlike other apps, nested archive content can be listed and accessed. To the user there is no difference between a folder, an archive and a nested archive in terms of browsing. Archives can be nested in multiple levels.
Keyboard navigation: the keyboard navigation is fully functional.
Simple action bar navigation with interactive path.
Automatic sync with MediaStore (Gallery) and the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) connection.
Complies completely with the Android Holo Style, even on Gingerbread.
On top of that you get all the usual features such as:
Browsing.
Copy/paste using official mechanism for compatibility with other apps.
Sort by file size, file name and modification date.
Create, delete, rename, send, bookmark files and folders.
Search.
Create zip files.
Shows thumbnails for APKs and images in gridview mode.
Multi file selection.
Local Network SMB protocol (windows shares), free plugin required.
Registers as a file picker so that other applications (such as gmail) can access the files too.
UNCOPT File Browser also provides tools for rooted devices:
Browse system files like any other (including system and user apps).
Change file permissions.
Automatically remount read-only filesystems as read-write.
suid/guid/sticky special permissions
Available on Google Play. Search for UNCOPT File Browser.

Tried it, looks really awesome, but won't test more, as one of the critical features I need (and probably many others) is Cloud support (Dropbox, Gdrive, etc.)
But it really has the best UI I saw in a file manager, very smooth, looks awesome even on my Optimus One's small screen
Edit: Like a post below me, I also hope you keep getting it better, it truly has HUGE potential (holo Solid Explorer)
It is on XDA Portal, so...

looks good,nice work

really an awesome looking app,great features too.
But there are some things i really miss right now or i would like to be changed maybe
-possbility to execute an apk(right now it just opens the content)
-drag and drop for files between the 2 tabs would be awesome
-maybe a possibilty to customize the view,like disable the file size part(because on a phone,even with 4,7" it takes up a lot of screen.
-sometimes it is a bit hard to hit the triangle for the menu of the file to show up
Edit
Just noticed I can hit the whole date/size space to open the file menu, nice
hope this amazing file explorer keeps updating,it really has a huge amount of potential :good:

Bought the full version just to support the developer. Keep it up, i love it!

Looks really good! Keep up the awesome work

Im liking the whole Holo look and how it works to browse files, but I can't install simple apks? It just views it as if it was a zip files. i can easily install apks on other file browsers except this one? Maybe it's just me but thought i'd share the problem im having.

finally found a simple yet powerful root file management app. Would be cool if there is an option to show the folder properties of the folder i.e. the amount of data inside the folder.

Love the App! Got the paid version.
As along with the rest, installing an APK is a mandatory must!
Am sure this will be in an updated version

Odd, I hate this feature on es, its the first thing I turn off. Many apps dont install with that. Why do you want it at all?

The file borwser looks great, thanks. The only thing is the icon, its not great

Looks good so far. But currently not usable for me. Some things are missing, like cloud. And if you press on pictures they don't open, you have to go through the context menu. Thats kinda annoying. And it laggs on Galaxy s3 (CM 10.1) while scrolling. But the idea is good, im looking forward to future versions of it. Thanks.

Ummmmm..... to sideload apks for testing Why "wouldn't" you want that feature?
You'll find there are other places to get apk's other than the Play Store. XDA for example. Other than tossing them in /system/app which is rather counter-productive, the only option is to install via FM.

Will give this ago ! Many thanks.

Thank You!

I think he misunderstood... ES has a feature to install apps without the package installer... it just installs in the background

Thank you all for your feedback.
We're working hard to add all the features you requested.
As for the apks, you can install them by clicking on the thumb (bottom right corner of the row/cell). It will bring up the dropdown menu. Click open and it should do the trick.
A lot of people are complaining about it (not only to install apks but also to open a file), we'll try to make it more obvious.

File sharing between android devices

Hi
Yesterday I have come across a beautiful app called SperBeam which is used for file sharing between android apps.
I am able to transfer 1GB data(videos and photos) from my samsung galaxy s3 to asus transformer infinity tablet in 6 minutes. Thats awsome.
This software uses wifi if it is available, or else wifidirect technology.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

no results on google play for "sperbeam"
sounds interesting though...
edit: its "superbeam"

Thank you
Great find. Thanks for the share.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.majedev.superbeam

Wow, really like this app. Thanks for sharing!:good:

ES file Explorer is a also good option to tranfer files between android devices... and between android and pc? Any one have a good app ? Something that works like es file explorer would be amazing.

Why not simply use your PC's file manager via MTP?

What do you mean by that? Use the usb cable?

I still feel all these P2P file sharing apps are clunky and not consumer-friendly. That said, I'm going to fix that...I'm building an app called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. It is going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

Thanks Whatisreal. I just signed up. There are tons of file sharing apps in the app store, but they all look like they were made by engineers who know how the inner plumbing of your phone works, and they expect you to know too. I'm a casual user, and I'm looking for something that works for "everyone", not just the propeller heads! Kind of like Apple's approach (putting flame suit on..)

Sorry for bumping this old thread. But I am using esfile explorer to transfer files between pc and my phone/tablet using wifi. They are connected to the same wifi. But though I am able to transfer between tablet and pc or phone and pc. I am unable to do the same between phone and tablet. Of course I can install this superbeam for the same but I just wanted to know if it is possible by using esfile explorer. Also can I transfer files using wifi direct(ie without using the common wifi modem) using esfile explorer?

I use wifi file transfer - ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antosdr.wififiletransfer&hl=en
ES File Explorer uses this as a plugin so I can select multiple files or folders then take the option in ES to "share" and then share via wifi file transfer, you just need to have the app installed on both devices and make sure the receiving device has wifi file trasnfer running and recady to receive
The other option I use for files that arent huge is dropbox and gogole drive - again ES File Explorer can plug into those for easy upload and download

Actually ES File Explorer has the ability in itself to create a wifi file sharing hotspot. I just couldn't find it before. Now after some tries I finally got it to work. It doesnt require an external wifi(modem). ES file itself creates a wifi server (similar to bluetooth) to which other devices can connect and share files.

I've found an app called shoutr, that's available in the Google Play Store and at shoutr.net, that lets you share between devices without even having to have internet or WiFi access, pretty convenient!
