[q] need help with es file explorer

Hey guys, TOTAL n00b here
So i attempted to connect my GTAB (tnt lite 4.2.0) to my pc via es file explorer.
I followed the same steps that i used on my EVO 4g when connecting to my pc via LAN feature on the ES FILE explorer, but i keep getting error message
LOG IN FAILURE
-WIFI IS OFF
-SMB SERVER IS OUT OF NETWORK SCOPE
-THE IP IS INVALID
-BLOCKED BY THE FIREWALL
-SMB SERVICE IS OFF
(pic included)
I just dont understand how my evo 4g can connect without any problem and the G Tab keeps getting these warnings when i followed the same log in procedure and i am connected to the same wifi network.
someone plz help out....
Thanks everyone

You didn't mention what O/S is on your PC, but if it's XP, the only way I could get Es explorer to acess a share was to use anonymous login. You also have to set the share on the XP end to allow anonymous access.

thanks for the reply! i re installed the file explorer and it works fine now, but i am still having a hard time trying to find a software to STREAM all my movies from my pc that does not require for the G Tab to first download the entire movie.

There are several threads in the Themes forum, so check there. For movies, I've been able to stream from my PC using Vlc remote/stream from market.
Jim

There is an application called VLC-Shares http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/. I am yet to test it out (setup seems a bit complicated), but the features are impressive. Also it supports plugins and configs to stream other online contents from MegaVideo, etc.
Let us know if you try it out and find it helpful.

well i opted out to use these three
PLAYON
TVERSITY
TV Shows Stream.
aLL WORK GREAT!

Looking for remote file access

I've found tons of remote desktop apps, but is there anything that will just access my filesystem? Hopefully as clean and as intuitive as astro or es. Maybe I'm just searching the wrong stuff, maybe astro and es can do this but i don't know how.
note: i want to be able to do this from the internet, not the same network.
Thanks all

if you mean access your tab from somewhere else then it is possible. you could ftp into it by using the ftp server app on your tab and note down the external ip.

Depending on what you are trying to do there are various solutions. To access my tab from my desktop I use WiFi File Explorer. To access my computer files remotely I use Tonido and PocketCloud Explore.

I use PocketCloud Explore to access my file system. It works great.

+1 for WiFi File Explorer, too. That's also a great app.

Personally I suggest setting up a ftp server. It is very versatile and can be accessed anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.
Mozilla has a good, easy, and and most importantly free one called FileZilla. Both astro and es have ftp support so getting to your files will be easy, and seemless.

I'm a lazy bastard. I use either SSHFS or SMB/CIFS. FTP is not as secure as SFTP.
If you have a SSH server on the host, you can FUSE mount it as a file system over SSH by way of SSHFS. My tablet can both mount hosts (sshfs package in Debian chroot) and be mounted by my PCs, netbook, etc. SFTP is also possible but wasteful IMHO.
SMB/CIFS - Windows network shares. You can access files on machines using a client. You can access your /mnt/sdcard from another machine by installing a server on your tablet.
I use "Samba Filesharing" from the market place and can access my tablets storage from PC perfectly fine. Like wise a client can be used to access a Windows box or a unix box or Android device with Samba (or simillar server). I use File Manager HD (menu->LAN connection) or SharesFinder to access network shares from my tablet. Astro has a plugin for it, just go to the market and Google. On my PCs, I use Windows Explorer and Samba (client) to access files on my tablet.
The Prime ROM also comes with CifsManager, which can mount file systems over the same protocol and make them appear as part of your tablets storage. So two way is possible very easily. PC's can do the same to the tablet when running a server like Samba.
In my experience: SMB/CIFS isn't as good as SSHFS for such stuff but when Windows is in the mix, it's best, and works better with Android than FTP or NFS, and is perhaps the most reliable.
For any access via the Internet you may have to configure port forwarding on your router (both at home and e.g. at work) to your machine. SSHFS/SFTP works best for that, FTP and SMB/CIFS are greater configuration pain, depending on your packet filters.

Some of you were a little off... I want to access files on my desktop from my TF. Sounds like ftp is going to be it.
Thnx all

I use FileManager HD to access my NAS and other shared computer files.......it's easy to configure, has great functionality, looks good, and is free.

[Q] WDTV Live Sharing and Access Problem

Hello,
I can't access my wd tv live on LAN. I try many programs (bsplayer, es file explorer, andsmb, WDTVMedia and etc). I can access from windows XP laptop and iphone, but i can't access form Asus TF700. Many time i see on LAN but usually can't access.ANDSmb get username/password wrong error. I changed username and password but also not succesful.
Thanks (sorry for my english)

I access my WDTV Live PLUS with file managers (ES File Explorer and File Manager from Rhythm Software) and BSPlayer in LAN mode.
I don't know if the Live has the same menu as the Live Plus but I have attached a shot of the TV screen in the Settings-Network Setup menu. Maybe it will help you.
I don't use any passwords for it on my system. Don't feel the need for them on my system here.
Works great for me. I don't think the WD Live or the Plus do SMB just Network Shares.

Thanks

If by "Network Shares" you mean Windows (compatible) network shares, you are actually talking about SMB. SMB is the Windows network share protocol, also known as CIFS...

Still not work

[Q] FTP File Transfer from Moto G

FTP file transfer works on every phone I have used except the Moto G with Kit Kat. Have others gotten it to work?
For the FTP server on the android side, I have tried numerous apps, including ES File Explorer's Remote Manager feature. On the client side, I have tried numerous apps including FileZilla.
I have no problem establishing FTP connections, but the file transfers do not complete properly. It appears that on the android side it thinks it has sent the entire file, but on the PC side it thinks the last 5% or so still needs to be sent. With some FTP clients, they will request the file again and again and eventually it will get the entire thing, but it takes way too long.
When I use the exact same FTP servers and clients with Android Gingerbread devices, everything works perfectly.

In PC you can just share a folder over the network and connect to it via ES Explorer. I used to transfer that way and was good by then.

With ES File Explorer and Filezilla I made all the transfers to (and from) Moto G. Never had a problem.

Have you tried changing the port (e.g. from ES File Explorer's 3721 to the standard port 21)?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. ES File Explorer only allows ports 1025-65534 for FTP. I'm not sure why it doesn't allow standard FTP port 21. Any ideas?

Thanks for the idea. I gave your suggestion a try, and it works, but it requires that I move (or copy) all files to be transferred into another folder before transferring. After transferring, then I need to delete all the copies. I'd like to avoid the extra steps, but I do sincerely appreciate your suggestion.
I've tried everything I can think of, and I just can't get FTP transfers to work as expected on this phone (see first post for what happens). There's gotta be a solution, especially given the report above that another user has no difficulty.

I figured it out!!! :victory:
After much pondering, thinking, and tinkering, I figured it out. It was a rule in iptables that blocked the linux kernel from accessing wifi.
Now as to why it needs access, I dunno. If you know, please enlighten.
The great news is that it works now! :cyclops:

Can't Connect To Windows 10 PC via LAN in ES File Explorer

Hey everybody.
So, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 with 4.4.4 Kitkat on it. I have the latest version of ES File Explorer downloaded.
So, I did some searching around on Google and found a post on how to connect ES to Windows 10. I followed all the steps. I shared my connection. I know my IPv4 address for my desktop PC. But when I scan in ES, it doesn't find it.
I also tried manually entering in the credentials. Still nothing. In fact, when manually entering them, ES says it can't find the server.
The desktop and phone are on the same network; my desktop is hard wired to my modem via ethernet. Would that make a difference?
I'd appreciate any help you could give me, since using Wifi is a lot faster and more productive than Bluetooth.
