Hey there!
So I switched my server from linux over to windows (hdmi audio driver issues with ion2, don't ask) and can no longer use Rsync to sync files (unless of course you know of a way to do this in windows)
I am looking for a tool that allows for LAN syncing of files on my Windows desktop to my android device. I know there are tons (box.net, Mozy, SugarSync, etc) that do this however they push files to the cloud. I do not want this. I want a simple LAN sync tool, any personal faves are welcomed!
Thanks in advance!
I'm using freeFTPd as my daemon on the windows box and andFTP as my client on the device. This is the closest I can get to rsync and I think it's the best possible solution right now.
I like rsync for android:

It would require opensshd on your windows box. You can get that at:
http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
There's a thread on it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871307&highlight=rsync
rsync over ssh does not require the rsync daemon, so you should be good to go there, though cygwin does provide rsync if you just had to have it on the windows side.
Also, linux to windows? eww.

hey just trying to get some help finding an sftp client for WM6. I have total commander, but that dosen't support SFTP only FTP. Any free clients out there?
Try putty it's an open source and quite reliable cient for secure shell protocol. It support SSH1, SSH2 and telnet, I have been testing it for a while under linux and it seems to be quite reliable. Here is the link http://www.pocketputty.net/.
have putty. But that logs me into the machine locally. If i run an sftp command that is like trying to get a file from itself. I need to have sftp on client to connect to server and get files. Putty sends nothing but screen output. unless im missing something???
How about zaSFTP?
With the Windows version of Remote Desktop you can use the CLI switch '/console' to take control of the current console session of the server you are Remote Desktop'ing into as long as its 2003 Server or later. Is this possible with the Remote Desktop Mobile client?
With the Windows version you just start it with 'Start, Run, mstsc.exe /console' and this attempts to connect to the current console session.

to my knowledge, not possible - at least I haven't managed to do it . Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506
note that if you don't strictly need RDP, some other, proprietary clients do offer console-like features - also see the above article for more info
This is an old topic, but one of the first Google search results for 'Remote Desktop Mobile connect to console'. I've been fiddling with this for the past few days and wanted to share my experience. I say experience because I haven't reallydone anything to achieve a /console connection with RDP mobile.
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Pro and using the standard RDP client it ships with. I am connecting to my home PC, which is running Win7x64 Ultimate. If I choose to log in as a currently logged in user and provide the proper credentials, I am connected to the existing session without any hassle.
I don't know if this is a new feature of terminal services/remote desktop on Win7, or a designed advantage of the mobile RDP client.
If you need to connect to a server console session specifically, take a look at this link on how to configure your server in advance to facilitate this:
EDIT: I'd post a link, but apparently my account is too new to do so. Oh well.
I was wondering if there was any software for either, home automation or remote desktop connection. I've searched for home automation and can't seem to find a definitive answer. As far as remote pc goes... I want to be able to see and access all the files on my laptop, from my phone.
you could host a ftp server on your laptop
^ would that allow me to access all .doc and .jpeg files... oh and also music files as well... those are the only extentions i'm really interested in accessing.
sorry for the poor post quality, i'm posting from workon my raphael
absolutly, I am using guildFTPd(freeware) to host. However I can't use TotalCommander to see the dir/file structure, I have to use FTPview. There are other free ftp servers as well (FTPShell Server). Just make sure you use strong security, I do get occasional people/bots trying to getting in the server.
There are also applications like RemoteAdmin, PCAnywhere, VNC viewer to take control of your remote machine ... but if all you want is to access files the FTP approach is better performance wise.
is there some sort of LogMeIn hamachi client for WinMo? I know for PC's it puts two computers on the "same network". that might work, if there is...
You could also try running Orb (free) on your laptop if you want to be able to access files remotely. Allows for all media files specifically but also has a built in file browser.
Also allows for streaming video etc (can be great if you've got a TV capture card on your laptop at home and you want to watch TV from a remote location)
dont know anything about home automation, but
take a look here:
http://www.z2software.com/Remote2PC.htm
allows you to control your pc remotely from your phone.
Also, there exists a mobile version of remote desktop connection. Don't know how to get it, though, as it was already cooked into the rom i'm using (PROven ROM 2.4 21018 UNPROTECTED by qsqa) .
You can both remotely control a PC and access file shares with features built into Windows Mobile.
To control a PC
I have successfully used Remote Desktop Mobile on my Fuze (standard ROM) to control my home PC. My home PC is Windows XP Professional (XP Home does not include the RD server). It works great considering the screen size. This solution is much simpler than installing 3rd-party software on both the phone and the PC.
To access files on a PC
I have used File Explorer Menu | Go To | Open Path | New Path to access file shares. I haven't done this a lot but it seems to work fine. Configuring a share is much simpler than installing and configuing an FTP server. BTW, Windows XP Professional includes an FTP server.
To use either of these features you must have an appropriate network path from your phone to the PC. The easiest way is to use your home wireless network. Then you only need to worry about the software firewall on your PC.
If you use the provider's network, you must properly configure all firewalls to allow appropriate ports, and configure your router to port-forward appropriate ports to the PC. You must also either (1) have a static IP for your home network interface, (2) track your dynamic IP address as it changes, or (3) use a service that maps a host name to your dynamic IP and automatically tracks changes. It might be easier just to store files on a web site, then you don't need to even keep the PC turned on.
Hi guys,
I´ve got one question, is it possible to create file transfer on wifi? I want create wifi network something like family group in Windows 7. And if its possible do this betwen WP and android phone or WP and windows 7 PC.
Thanks a lot.
No, not possible; but you can try DFT Bluetooth file transfer if you have a fully unlocked or rooted phone and see if that works. Currently there is no way of doing what you are asking via email, MMS or Wifi.
It doesn´t working via e-mail too ?
Root Webserver (see my sig) allows easily taking files off (or putting them on) a Windows phone via WiFi. It's not the most elegant approach, but it's easy to use.
There has been talk of somebody implementing SMB (the network protocol that is used for Windows networking) using the sockets APIs in WP7, but I'm not even sure the official APIs are complete enough and even if they are, it'll be quite a bit of work to implement (the SAMBA project has been trying on Linux for years, and is only mostly there).
I'm quite certain it's possible to attach arbitrary files to email, but nobody has found the way *yet* so that's not currently possible. Also, the email client isn't going to let you save attachments to arbitrary locations, because it's designed to work with the very low permissions of the OS by default.
Hi!
I have a issue.
I am helping a company to use android devices productively in there business.
The key function they need is to edit Word and Excel files from a windows fileserver using there android tablet and/or phones.
The problem is when we do this the tablet saves the updated dosument localy on the device, not on the server.
If you look at the document on the server nothing is saved.
If you look at the device you have a copy of the document where all the changes are saved.
Is there any way to make it to save the document directly on to the server?
We have used ES File explorer and OfficeSuite.
I dont think it has something to do with the apps.
Would we get a different result if we used a Linux fileserver instead? For example Ubuntu server?
Maybe it is linux and windows compability problems?
Thanks in advanced!
