Hi boys, is there an application to see the share folders of my private lan with wifi?
I would open documents or mp3 share from my computers.
In PocketPC there is the possibility to share, why in Smartphone no? I can "fix" it?
Many thanks!

Yes the pocket pc has it all!
In the smartphone world you can use the ftp client in the resco explorer or total commander and download files from your PC (over wlan) but you cannot open them before you download first them to your device.
On the pc you must install first a programm like GuildFTP an to configure everthing properly.
That's the only way I've found to share files over wifi
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.
Does anyone know if it is possible to browse the files on a computer wirelessly from an Android phone?
I used to do it using Resco explorer on my old HTC touch Pro/Raphael ( WM6.1 ), I could up- and download files to the computer and even watch streamed movies using coreplayer. Can this all be done with Android?
I know how to browse the phone files from the PC via a wireless server application like WiFi File Explorer. I want to be able to do it the other way around, remotely would be even better. At the moment I am using LogMeIN ignition to tell the PC which files to send via WiFi File Explorer and it's a bit tedious.
I did have my windows mobile phone, HTC Touch HD, connect to a Windows XP desktop several years ago.
Is it possible to have my Android phone connect to a Windows PC with Remote Desktop Connection?
Thanks.
Microsoft has a remote desktop app. I've used it successfully before, though that was when I was using a Note 3. I expect it'd be much more cumbersome w/o a stylus.

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my S7 to my mac using Total Commander but I can't connect... Do someone konw how to do that ?
I'm using the Lan plugin for TC.
Thanks !
Not sure there are drivers available for Mac, I remember others having the same problem with the S5 unless something has changed since then
Thanks for your answer, in fact my question was more like "how to access to my LAN connected devices, and I'm a Mac user with 2 Mac connected, one on a lan connexion, the other one via wifi (MBair), and I have also 1 NAS connected to this network, in order to be able to play (for exemple) mp3 or video files located on a Mac or on the NAS from my S7, or the reverse opération, playing media files located on my S7 from from of my Mac or my internet box without having to transfer the files locally".
I managed to create sftp connexions, but that only allows file transfers, not remote playing.
In fact I would like to turn my S7 into a "regular" network connected device. I understood that Android can connect easily to windows networks and it is possible to have a network with Mac and windows devices connected together. Why not not an Android device with Mac devices to NAS devices ? I don't want to connect the S7 with a wired connection, I still want to use the wifi connection. Like my MacBook Air is connected with wifi to my local network.
I don't know if this is clear... My English is not perfect and my LAN knowingness is even more tiny...

Ah sorry I misunderstood your question
ES File Explorer can create LAN/FTP connections for playing between network connected devices
I use it for playing from my NAS to my S7
I surely made something wrong with ES Explorer, I tried it, because I couldn't create a LAN connection. Only sftp. Did you configure something special on you Mac ? I removed ES Explorer because I was overwhelmed with notifications (battery saving, etc)... And it seems that it creates internet connexions even when I don't use it.

I'm not using a Mac, the connection it makes is LAN so should work on both PC and Mac alike / anything with network access
The free version of ES File Explorer is full of ads, I bought the Pro version
Left Hamburger menu > Network > LAN > + sign for making a new connection > Enter IP address of NAS and login
(Or press the top scan button to auto discover)
You can create FTP server connections on the phone using ES too afaik but have not done that yet, I used to use FTP Server app on the play store for that, and FileZilla Client on the PC (Any FTP client Mac alternative will work)
Thanks, no problem to access the NAS (with ES FE) but I have this message when trying to connect to my Mac : (personal English translation...) "the server you want to configure needs SMB 2.0. Please first unlock it"...

Looks like a limit of the Mac
Some suggestions I found:
If you're trying to connect to a mac, take it from me and give up on AFP & SMB.
Just follow wrxtasy's advice and use NFS with NFS Manager. It works perfectly.
It takes a little in the setup, but it's worth it.

Networking with non OSX computers is always a nightmare. With ES FE or TC I can create a ftp connexion without problems. And Ia can access to my NAS. The issue with to connect to the Mac's HD... Thank you for your link, I'm gonna try this.
Sorry I don't have a Mac to help further
File Explorer is a file management app on Android. It helps you to access your files not only on Android device, but also on PC, Mac, NAS and cloud storages (Dropbox, Google Drive etc). Stream movies and songs from computer, NAS to your Android device. Directly view photos, documents without downloading.

Ok, thanks for your time !
If someone has another idea... I can't believe that I'm the only human being trying to connect an Android device to a mac...
