I am trying to use an app called eshare which allows one to send a single file or even the complete contents of the sd card to another device. It is done via an FTP server. I've tried to figure this out myself for the past couple of hours but all I've gotten for my time is a headache.
I was hoping someone here might be able to help with this. I really have no clue what FTP is other than what I've read. When I got the app it seemed like it would be simple. Maybe it is but I don't even know what to do to start.
The instructions on the app are obviously intended for someone familiar with how FTP works, and I am not a member of that group.
The instructions begin as follows:
How to access.
Open the ftp:// link with wifi on PC or other device using your browser, finder (Mac os), file explorer (win) or other FTP client.
What I tried was typing the ftp address into the browser and nothing happened. From what I've read online it appears that I need to download some sort of FTP client but I really just don't understand.
I'm sorry for what I'm sure is a very elementary question to all of you, but I'm completely lost and really do have a splitting headache after trying to figure this out. I don't know if this matters, but I'm using a Nexus 7, a Galaxy SII, and an Asus Transformer tf201 (along with my laptop)
Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Perhaps I do. Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the headache I mentioned in my original post is the result of a brain disease that I have which makes reading (especially reading things that I don't understand) very difficult. Prior to having this disease I could have easily done this. It's also likely that I used how to do this. Unfortunately the UT Southwestern Clinical Trial I underwent created havoc with my memory and cognitive abilities. I just thought someone here might be able to help me. Thank you all the same for your help.
Check out FolderSync Lite. It's the best sync app I've found and use for couple of months now. It supports a load of transfer protocol including FTP SFTP SMB and much more (I just don't remember the rest)

01.) Shoot Me seems to be the most popular. *(Although you must be rooted)*
02.) There are one or two threads ( i think over in the Q&A Section ) but it seems like most of the suggestion are just to search the Market for "call recording" after also getting a few suggestion to the legality of recording calls.
03.) Sorry, not sure, the best i can do is suggest searching AppBrain or AndroLib & just trying out the highest rated / most downloaded.
04.) I have Wireless Tether because it came with my ROM, but i didn't see it on AppBrain.
05.) Documents To Go seems to edit *.doc's, although i've never used it.
06.) Sorry for the dumb question, but do you mean WiFi access to the Phone or Desktop? SwiFTP FTP Server to access your EVO over WiFi. Or PhoneMyPC seems to be another popular app to access your PC from your Phone, however it costs $9.99. I'm sure another user may have a better free suggestion if that's what you're looking for.

I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of demand there is out there for a MySQL manager for Android.
Obviously there's only going to be a small niche of people who would want/use one, myself included, so I guess I wanted to get the feedback of the people on these forums to see what demand is like.
I'm currently building one that I plan to stick on the Android Market in the next week or so, and I'll let everyone who expresses interest know when that happens. The first version I put out will be a "lite" version. Features will include:
Create/Edit/Delete server/db credentials
View a list of all Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures in a db
View first 100 records of any Table or View
Drop Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures
Add/Edit Views
Add/Edit Stored Procedures
Run custom queries
If the demand and responses are good, I will completely re-do the UI, add some nice graphics, and put out a much more feature-rich version. Not going to waste my time to do that, though, if I don't feel there is enough need.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responds!

I would definitely use this. Personally, running custom queries would be the only thing I would use it for tho (i'm a sql/command line ninja haha). Hard saying how often I would use it. Currently I just ssh into a nix box and use mysql client from there when I'm remote/without a laptop and need to fix something.

I have released the initial version of my app on the market. Search for AndSQL.
Keep in mind, this is a very rough first version and is not intended to be complete with features. If response/feedback is good I will re-do UI, add graphics, and style it. Any feedback is greatly welcomed. Thanks!!
-teleknEsis
Can't find on the market, is there a download link?
Also, about "Run custom queries" is there the option to save/load the queries too?
I will appreciate that because i often run the same queries, so i save and load them when i need

As of right now there is not. This would be a feature I would definitely add if I decide to make a 'full' version. This was really more or less just a quick tool I made for myself to do quick db edits/checks on the fly when problems are reported. It has a ton of potential, I'm just not sure how large the demand is for a 'full' version of this.
My app targets 2.1 and up so not sure why you don't see it in the Market, but I'll go ahead and post it in the OP. Look for it there.
Ok, thanks for reply, it's quite useful already to do quick and emergency checks.
I'm on froyo now, so i should be able to find it in the market...

There's likely a bug in my connection error reporting. If you're not seeing any tables or views then there's probably something wrong w/ your connection settings.
Make sure your MySQL db is set to allow remote connections, and also verify that the port you specified is correct. Hope that helps
Im' pretty sure everything it's ok, from my home pc i can connect without any problem...

Have you tried Opera Mini? If you are worried about your data usage, I think you'll love its server-side compression technology. Well, depending in what are your feelings about your browsing privacy.
I know I can disable images, and yes, I tried a couple of browsers with server-side compression, but I was really hoping for the plain simplicity of a Lynx-like app. Thanks for the replies so far!

The other thing you might consider is RSS. I read a lot of websites like this. Most major news websites now support RSS. Good luck. Lynx is hard to read and manage as it was designed for an earlier implementation of the web.
I wonder if it isn't easy to do since 1) it's all open source and 2) it should be a textbook JNI port...

There are some instructions here, in chinese. If anyone does get a working binary, let us know;
http://www.embedu.org/Column/Column294.htm
Update: I followed the instructions, and it works. Here are the results:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16050683
I read through the instructions... Very nice and detailed directions there! However, they're not even using the NDK, they're compiling an ARM executable for Lynx (so if we go that route, the result would be a binary that has to be run from terminal emulator).
Food for thought...
Binary compiled successfully!
Done it!
I just followed the instruction from the chinese professor, and it works fine for me. I have created a tread for it at:

Type the following into your address bar:
http://www.google.com/xhtml
Now search for the site you want to visit, i.e xda-developers, and click on the link. You should now be seeing it in a low data format. It's not pretty but it works pretty well on a mobile browser.
If you want you can then bookmark the site as it is, so that it will still have that formatting when you return to it next. Obviously, for every site you want to visit you have to go through the above, but if you also bookmark the xhtml version of google you can always start your browsing session from there and just bookmark all your reformatted favourites as you go.
For that mobile view you can just use the "mobile view (GWT)" option in Dolphin Browser HD

Little Web Browser is pretty similar to Lynx. Free, but a HUGE fee if you want to get rid of the ads.
It is amazing how you'll always have at least one idiot in almost every forum who has no clue to what the correct answer might be but instead of shutting his ugly mug he tries to be a smart-ass and suggest a retarded "solution" that the OP had already discarded even before he asked. "Eh, why don't you disable images on Opera? (monkey squeaks)" ... well no ****tard, that's not a solution not even a proper answer to the question.

Ok I saw this option in the android system menu to turn on wifi direct, but I couldn't find anything further than that. How do I actually transfer files thorugh wifi direct??
Update:: MEthod for wifi file transfer from one phone to another.
Youu'll need ES file explorer on one phone and Swiftp on another
1. Toggle Wifi tethering on, on the device from which you will ransfer files.
2. Now connect the other device to this AP created by the tether.
3.Now on the same device(the one connected to the AP)start Esfile explorer and got to the ftp tab
4. Go to settings>scan. Es file explorer should now automatically find the other phone,
Just wanted to bump this thread....seems like no one's interested but I think wifi direct is awesome! and i know our phones are capable just that the right software is needed.

Not exactly what you want, but for transfering files by wifi i use the App SwiFTP. It's for free in the market (i can't post URL's cause i'm noob).
