At last: File transfer in WM 6.1 RDP client

As has been explained in the Remote Desktop Control Bible, in the pre-WM6.1 days, Windows Mobile was clearly worse than WindowsCE .NET running on clamshell devices in that the Remote Desktop Mobile client couldn’t make any file transfer in the former, while it could do in the latter (for years).
It seems my pushing Microsoft very hard to implement this feature has resulted in good results: now, the WM 6.1 RDP client does already support file transfer. This means you won’t need to use either commercial remote desktop control alternatives like GoToMyPC, RDM+ or the non-free version of LogMeIn to have bidirectional file transfer capabilities but can safely rely on those of the built-in client. (If RDP is sufficient for or, for some reason, preferred by you, that is.)
By default, file transfer is enabled in the WM6.1 Remote Desktop Mobile application as can be seen in the new screenshot, showing the new drop-down list:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To actively transfer files in both directions, fire up Explorer on the remote desktop and just copy/paste between the remote desktop’s file system and that of the mobile device, which, now, will be listed under My Computer as “Files on device name” (in the following screenshot, WM_Administrat1):
Note that, should you not have WM6.1 on your Windows Mobile device, you can download the new RDM client HERE.
It needs at least WM5 to run and it is also compatible with touchscreen-less MS Smartphones. What is more, on the latter, you won’t need SPHelper or other mouse emulators – the new RDM contains mouse emulation support. (Nevertheless, note that on my HTC s710, while I was able to see the “Files on HTC_s710” account in File Explorer, I couldn’t see any files inside).
Also note that most “cooked” 6.1 ROM’s contain the new client – for example, that of the HTC Universal (for example, tomal's 7.7); that is, if there’s a cooked WM6.1 ROM release at XDA-Developers for your particular model, it’ll most probably have the new client.
Again and again, please consult the Remote Desktop Control Bible for what this is all about, when you would like to use it, how it compares to the alternative solutions etc.

thanks!
i using Imate 9502 wm6.1 beta rom, and RDP is not included!

I managed to find the mapped drive after I installed the NET Framework 3.5 on the host PC. Maybe this is the reason...
Now I found my mapped drive and able to transfer file remotely.

Remote Desktop over internet ?

Hi everyone,
it might be a stupid question but I was wondering if the Remote Desktop app could be used to access my laptop via internet.
I know it works very well when the Surface and the laptop are connected to the same Wireless router but I would like to know if th same as possible, given the fact that the laptop and the Surface are connected to different (distant) wifi networks.
I searched for this but could not find a clear answer or "how to" to do it.
Thank you very much

You can do it, look up port forwarding for remote desktop. You need to setup your router to do it.. I think the default port for RD is 3389

Thank you very much

You will also have to know the public IP address of the router, do the port forwarding and it works fine. You can use DynDNS or one of the other services to keep the IP address updated. Or, you can use TeamViewer to do it without touching your router. You have to set up an account at TeamViewer, but everything is free and it works well.

Well I will try both ways and see what is the most convenient, thank you for your answer

I remote in from outside networks and it works great. Now I just wish we could enable the setting to allow us to transfer files. Where it shows us the local hard drive on the remote computer and all we have to do is drag and drop.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Can you not? Remote Desktop still supports this, at least the desktop version (haven't tried the "Metro" one).

Huzzah!
I'm actually using metro-app on a daily basis with no-ip (so i don't have to remember my own ip-adress all the time)
So all you need to do is:
1. Get your self an account at: http://www.noip.com/
2. Create a host and install client
3. Open port: 3389 on your router and point it to the right computer
4. Allow it in the firewall
5. Connect
There is ofc more steps if you want to be more specific, but I think you'll figure it out

I would have to say Team Viewer is by far the easiest solution.

Yeah +1 Teamviewer here..

++1 just tried this out, dead simple to use and no networking mojo needed.

Interesting you guys have chosen TeamViewer so clearly,....I've just tried it, and it will make due for now, but I need to copy and paste text from pdfs constantly and I noticed it to be extremely laggy by comparison (to RD). I'm guessing it's because it needs to download more data than the native client, but if there are any suggestions on speeding it up please post.
Remote Desktop/RemoteApp Problems
I have not been able to connect while out-of-network.
I've waisted several days of productivity trying to resolve this by myself, then on the phone with Microsoft, and some of them aren't even familiar with Surface RT. So with connecting to RD in-network is pretty easy and effective, hopefully some here can confirm that they have the same problems and/or offer possible solutions.
As I see it, there are 3 interfaces where we can connect to RD on the Surface RT: The the pre-installed desktop Remote Desktop found via swipe and search, the metro downloadable Remote Desktop, and RemoteApp via control panel).
I see where the computer is pinged and port 3389 is open, so I will state the problems I see with each when I try log into a Windows 8 Host computer:
1) pre-installed RD:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's great and your computer name is there for you and ready while logged into your account and in-network. You have options like "Connect and don't warn me If server authentication fails" that I see helped out a lot of people on Windows Server with certificate issues.
Once out of network on Surface RT, however, you get "Remote Desktop can't find the computer ______. This might mean that "_____" does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to."
2) Metro UI:
It seems to ping the computer faster when you put :3389 at the end of your IP. However, no success after trying with and without the port ending. The messages I get are....
3)RemoteApp:
this is the solution I've seen in most tutorials,...but the reason given for not connecting is "The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate."
Instead of the option to bypass it (which option 1 gives you), there is no other option and it says "Windows cannot continue setting up this connection. Contact your workplace administrator for assistance."
This message caused me to learn more about certificates than I ever wanted to know. I've tried starting up MMC and making sure the cert listed in Remote Desktop was copied to the Trusted Root Certificate Authorites folders (both sides as local computer certificates). I've tried different combinations and haven't really gotten anywhere.
If anyone connects via #3, please post specs on your certificate if you can find it.
Any help on getting any of these methods to work is appreciated. It bares repeating that port 3389 is listed as open on my home network, traffic is forwarded to the correct PC, and all firewalls are disabled until I can resolve this.

[GUIDE]Filesharing over network

ROOTed device is REQUIRED !
This guide only discuss about filesharing not streaming media !
ANY DAMAGE FOR IMPROPER USAGE OF THIS GUIDE
IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY !!​
1. INTRODUCTION
I found many people having trouble using Kies or just wanna transfer files between devices.
The solution is Bluetooth or Network Filesharing.
I will only discuss about Network Filesharing as Bluetooth is very slow.
In this Guide I will use my Galaxy Note 10.1 as my main device & the other device is for supporting only.
Network Filesharing has many protocol,but IMHO SSH protocol is the best for transferring files over network.
I use SMB (or many call it SAMBA) protocol for comparison only as it's not secure.
Samba is easier to configure, but now setting a SSH daemon in Android is much more easier than before
SSH
Secure SHell, similar with Powershell or cmd in Ms. Win environment but its more powerfull.
In Linux environment it's Linux console as Android is a Linux descendant.
Becarefull using SSH/SFTP,do not alter or delete anything you don't understand as it may harm your device(s).
SFTP = SSH File Transfer Protocol
Another advantage using SSH (not SFTP) is you can fully control your device but I won't discuss it here.
So I use SSH / SFTP (FTP is not recommended) connection to transfer files between my devices (PC,Laptop,HTC Sensation & Galaxy Note 10.1).
2. PREPARATIONS
Make sure your device is Rooted or this guide won't work !
Instruction / Guide / tutorial on how to Root your device can be found here, here and here
Then Install the required Application on each devices
PC & Laptop
For Ms. Win:
AnyClient (this is a SSH/SFTP Client only)
Any other SSH/SFTP Client will works
For Linux (I use Linux Mint Nadia)
It's already built in on it's file manager (any linux natively support SSH/SFTP client)
HTC Sensation 4G
I use Samba Filesharing.
It's FREE on Google Play
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
I use DigiSSHD and DigiControl.
DigiControl is only to control DigiSSHD and the real deal is DigiSSHD,but somewhat DigiControl is required.
It's also FREE on Google Play
3. SETTING UP
Setting up SSH/SFTP Server on your Android (Yes you are setting up a SERVER on your Galaxy Note 10.1 )
Open DigiSSHD
Make sure default user [android] is checked and don't check/uncheck anything else.
You can change network port value for better security,but make sure you don't use reserved ports (better leave it alone if you don't know anything about reserved ports).
Make sure authentication mode is single user for better security.
Tap on manage user

If you see nothing after Tapping on android try tapping on the arrow icon on the bottom left
Set the password,it's the 3rd row below android and variable location
Back
Tap on the OFF button to turn it ON.
Now go to INFORMATION
Take a note of your IP address.
You are done setting your SSH/SFTP server on your Galaxy Note 10.1 :good:
Setting up client on your other device
The Client side is far easier, just use any android file explorer with SFTP capability and use any SSH/SFTP client for Windows PC.
Linux user is far easier as Linux has built in SSH/SFTP client capability
For this Guide I will use ES File Explorer on my HTC Sensation (Android):
Open ES File Explorer
Tap on menu
Tap on Show Tabs
Tap on FTP
Tap on menu again
Tap on New
Choose SFTP
Fill in any required information according to your previous Server settings.
Voila! you are done setting up your Android SSH/SFTP client.
Now you can transfer/edit/delete your files wirelessly :good:

thanks for the feedback.
well if you are on same wifi net work you will be provided with the lan web address to access your device on pc otherwise you have to make account and access the web based interface(WAN)
AirDroid works cool on wifi on same network (the same network where your device wifi connected to)
