Ok, the basic Idea of this App is to provide an easy setup for an ftp & or web server (should be customizable) which also provides a shortened url for easy access.
also my idea was that the app can do this over different of protocolls, bluetooth, w-lan usw.
is something like this technically possible?, i know there are ftpserver apps out there but it is not quite the same.

Easy ftp and web server apps already exist that work over wifi. bluetooth is tricky, as a normal web or ftp server won't be easily usable (but bluetooth already has methods of doing file transfers that works quite well, and there are apps to handle this, like Blutooth File Manager). What is USW?
AFAIK, there is not an app to do those things over ad-hoc wifi - they all require connecting to an access point. Being able to open up an app and have it set up an ad-hoc wireless network with another android device and allow easy high-speed file sharing would be awesome.
As for cellular data, there's a major hurdle to overcome on some carriers. Verizon, for example, does not allow incoming connections over cellular data. So you can set up a web or ftp server, but you won't be able to access it. The way around that is to have the phone establish the connection to some server, then have that server act as the gateway. Bandwidth is not free, though, so I suspect you'd be hard-pressed to find an app that includes that feature, unless it also requires that you set up your own server gateway. I'd like to see something like this - an app that establishes general-purpose 2-way comms with a server application on command (by hitting a "start" button in the app), which then allows you to set up different types of servers (ssh, ftp, web, etc) that are routed through that gateway machine that you set up.
One way to accomplish that whole scheme is to use a VPN - when a VPN is established (even over 3G), you can access any server you want to via the VPN-assigned IP address.

Can I reach to the files of my notebook with Wi-Fi smartphone in my wireless area? I want to perform a network between my smartphone and notebook with Wi-Fi network. Is it possible?
No on smartphone you cannot access files that are on your notebook.
Try a VNC (easy).
Start with something like this: TightVNC (free) as a server on your notebook and .Net VNC Viewer (free) as a client on your phone; read and play.
There is lag time in rendering on the little screen; not to mention that it's a little screen (you might tire of looking at it and/or navigating).
Another good client is VNC+; it worked best for me among the clients that I tried but there is a cost.
You will be able to access your notebook via any Wi-Fi connection provided that your server is running and connected to the internet.
Good Luck.
FTP is a good solution too.
Install a FTP server (I use free GuildFTPd) on your laptop, and create a user with access to all drives or folders of interest. Make sure that no acces from the internet is possible if not neede for security reasons. Use a strong password.
Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander as client. This way you can download or upload files from your laptop.
Hi!
When I have my PDA connected to my PC using bluetooth and activesync, I can use the Internet connection of the pc directly from my PDA. For instance I can launch Mobile IE and visit a web page.
However I cannot use the Voip function of my PDA. The Today plug-in shows 'No service' status for my voip configuration (if I connect to Internet using WiFi, Voip works).
In the beginning I thought that ActiveSync only allows port 80 (HTTP) access. However I can also download or send e-mail messages using POP3/SMTP which use different ports.
Do you have any idea if I can also use Voip over the Internet connection shared by activesync?
Ha ha, good attention, however estimate should be be subjected to limiting of.The Voip used when Voip perhaps can'ted use "unit constitution"

The original question has not been answered, so I ask again.

I assume this is down to the NAT implementation on the Host PC and/or Windows Mobile 6.x not actually allowing this anyway - the PDA to PC uses the autoconfig IP network 169.254.0.0/16, all connections from the PDA are proxied via the host PC. I have just captured the traffic flow using WireShark from the host PC out (i.e. not the PDA to PC link) to see what is sent when the SIP client is started (Internet Calling). I can see the initial DNS lookup for the SIP server host (in my case 'sip.btsip.bt.net') which gets a valid reply, however there are no more packets transmitted from the host PC.
If I capture on the PDA-to-PC link (USB) I can see the DTPT protocol (DeskTop PassThrough protocol) which although WireShark understands it isn't very intuitive. I can see a 'QuerySet' with the DNS name embedded (sip.btsip.bt.net) but there is little else.
I really don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing this and to be honest I don't think the Windows Mobile is even trying. I have captured several conversations over WiFi when I first got the SIP client working and the conversation I am seeing here is nothing like them.

I understand that the D2G does not support using a proxy server, So then why am I able to use Skype while not being able to use internet browser?
My laptop makes me sign in with proxy when using Skype, so why doesn't the Droid.
George
Skype generally has a lot of quirks which help it bypass firewalls. It's a major PITA for the system administrators (believe me, I know).
Android (and D2G as a device using it) supports using a proxy server for its browser. You can configure one directly by altering the SQLite3 database, settings, or using some freely available apps @ the Market. Some even allow you to automatically switch configuration based on your GPS location or wifi network parameters.
As an administrator, I am maintaining a network of different servers.
In emergencies, it is good to access the servers thru the pda or tablet.
Sometimes I want to access the file structure of a machine and sometimes get RDP access for a quick lookup or fix.
Of course for both task there are plenty of apps for android available.
But the best would be an app where I can select if I want to have directory/HD- or RDP-access of a particular machine.
Up to now I have to have two apps for this and have to setup the same list of the servers, ip's, username and password on both apps.
So for the sake of comfort, I would love to do this all thru the same app/serverlist, p.ex. a long klick on a server and you can chose the relevant access mode.
Hi,
I am trying to configure an Android phone as a local web server, where people can directly connect to the phone (hotspot) and browse the content hosted locally on the phone (no internet access available). Similar to a Librarybox or Piratebox.
Web hosting part is straightforward with an app like KWS Webserver. However navigating to the hosted site is a little cumbersome as you have to know the local IP of the server. So I am looking for a way to automatically forward everyone who connects to the hotspot to a particular IP (that of the webserver). Similar to how most public WiFi networks take you to a login page when you connect?
Does anyone know how to do this easily (on a non-rooted phone)?
Thanks.

its not possible without root, instead if you wish to check how to do it on rooted device check this thread
