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!
this new remote desktop client can only copy files to internal storage and not microSD. but it' still neat to copy your favorite mp3 or photos to pdaPhone when u away from home!

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.

[HOWTO] Linux on Android (Remote)

I was on vacation a few weeks ago and saw a commercial for a product that promised to give you a full desktop on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. I was interested so I looked it up. Can't remember the name, but it was basically some remote access software along with a Linux box they provided with OpenOffice, Gimp, etc. on it. You paid a fair amount for a year of service and renewed every year.
I got to thinking... why can't I just do that myself? I have tried remoting into my main desktop before, but that stinks because I have giant dual displays, and fancy 3D desktop effects, and all that. But it made me think: why not set up a virtual Linux box and access it anywhere I have a network connection. You could do this with Windows too or a variety of other tweaks, but I'm going to give you the broad strokes for what you need and you can customize as you see fit.
Here's what the end result looks like:
{
"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"
}
You need a few things:
1) A computer that is always on that can run VirtualBox or other virtualization software.
2) A public IP address for that computer. I use dyndns but sadly they are now making it hard to sign up for free.
3) A copy of Linux (I use Kubuntu)
4) Some setup on your Android device
You can probably figure out from here but follow along anyway, for a few observations.
1) https://www.virtualbox.org/ - Install this on your computer
2) Like I mentioned, I use dyndns.org but if you don't have an account you may want to try someone else. If your router supports a service, use that. Otherwise look at http://www.no-ip.com/ and http://www.dnsdynamic.org/ and pick what you like. For a dd-wrt router, look under Setup and DDNS for a lot of options. Set it up so your always on computer has a name like mycomputer.dyndns.org or whatever you are using.
3. Create a new virtual machine in Virtual Box. I'm using Kubuntu 386 (http://www.kubuntu.org/). Download Regular Download .iso. I named my machine TabletBack - I set the Base memory to 1GB (I have a lot of RAM; you may want to change this) and set the video memory to 32MB. I created a new virtual hard drive of 20GB and mounted Kubuntu iso as the virtual CDROM. I also set the remote desktop port to 9999 (you can change this, and you may not use it but it doesn't hurt to set it; see later in this guide). All the other settings were the normal settings, except later I will add a shared folder (more on that later). Boot the machine and go through the Kubuntu install. When you are booted completely, install the Virtual Box extensions and shut down. Go back to configure and set a VirtualBox shared folder so that you can access your normal home directory as a shared folder inside the virtual machine. Remove all the fancy wallpapers, 3D, etc. In fact, I may switch down to lxde as a window manager, but have not yet.
4. Here's the tricky part. You need to make the virtual machine have a screen to match the size of your tablet. You might want to make the screen slightly smaller. With the VM shutdown you want to issue this command:
VBoxManage setextradata "TabletBack" "CustomVideoMode1" "1250x695x16"
Obviously use your own VM name and screen size. The size listed works nice for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
5. Boot up the VM again (use the regular VirtualBox GUI). Then you need to select this resolution in your xorg.conf. You need an xorg.conf section like this:
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "1250x695"
EndSubSection
If there is a request, I will attach my entire xorg.conf.
6. Almost there. While you are in the VM, browse to http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx. You might not want to use TeamViewer, and you do have a few options. However, TeamViewer is not only pretty good, but you can also get to your remote machine via any Web browser which is pretty slick. Install TeamViewer on the VM. Also install TeamViewer on your tablet (obviously, the Android version).
7. Tell the VM OS to start TeamViewer automatically. If you use KDE, System Settings, Autostart will let you do that.
8. Ok... now, while the VM is up, start up TeamViewer and do all the the logins. You should be able to start Teamviewer on the Android and using your dynamic DNS name. If it all worked, you should connect and can use your remote machine. If not, you need to fix things until you can. You do not have to use this setup, however, see step 9. TeamViewer should punch a hole in your router assuming it supports uPNP. If you don't use uPNP on your router, you'll need to open the TeamViewer port yourself (5050, usually).
9. You can also use any RDP client (I like the 2X Client from the market) to connect to the RDP server on port 9999 of your dynamic DNS computer. Note: You will need to open your router for port 9999 if you expect to use this outside your local network. If your client needs a password you will need to run the following:
vboxmanage setproperty vrdeauthlibrary "VboxAuth"
10. One last thing. Shut down the VM now that it is all working. Set your main computer to launch the following script:
vboxheadless -startvm TabletBack
Or whatever name you gave it. You won't see anything but you'll be able to connect to the virtual computer.
11. Install all the stuff you want on your VM. OpenOffice, GIMP, whatever.
Wow. That turned out uglier than I thought. But you should get the idea. Ask questions and if there is demand I'll try to clean it up paying special attention to the areas people are having trouble wit

[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

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:

835 and Windows 10 support?

Is there any information about the S8 being about to run Win10 with Dax? I know its a long shot, but i'm DYING for this feature http://www.pcworld.com/article/3154...a-new-start-with-qualcomm-snapdragon-835.html.

Not sure about through Dax, but read somewhere about Microsoft storefronts eventually offering s8/s8+ running Windows 10. Only available in their stores; not online, and needed be installed and activated while one waits.
Maybe dual boot?
I stand corrected. It will be called the Microsoft Edition, but will only be loaded with Windows apps not W10

gotta wait. I am hoping that with root we will be able to boot up windows or even linux through the Dex platform.

Thats the mobile apps. The 835 actually has the ability to emulate x86 code and run native desktop apps.

I'm hoping for a system like chroot but for windows. Probably wont happen. As long as you can run android apps through Dex you should be able to get linux

Windows 7 for life.

What it looked like to me is that your actually opening up a remote desktop version of windows through Dex, atleast thats the way it sounded like with the wording. At first I thought it was a virtual PC in there which could theoretically be possible. So im not sure if we are packing a full OS in there or not, but it would be pretty bad ass to have a app to open up and boom you got what ever version of what ever OS you want running. I have a few uses for that already.
I am thinking personally if I have a KBM switch with a Dex station, I could theoretically remotely connect to my Linux server at home and manage my cloud and plex server through my phone. Then I could Also remotely access my work laptop and VPN with a Dex station in my van, and have a nice monitor mount with a keyboard and mouse there. Would be super sweet, or maybe I continue to access Linux through my desktop, but I can instead access Linux server remotely in case anything goes wrong while I am away.

Dex is its own thing. You can run android apps in tablet mode on it or dex specific apps. You can already loadup chroot (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy&hl=en) with your distro of choice (arm) and ssh into your linux server. Of course if you want it just from remote administrator, you can just download an android SSH (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonelli.juicessh&hl=en) or VNC (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android&hl=en) (GUI) program and remote into your server. Alternatively, you can use webmin (http://www.webmin.com/) for a webbased SSH client hosted on your server, that way you can navigate to your webmin install with any web browser.

I am gonna have to look into it, I am awaiting the parts to come into build it, I was considering doing the VNC through my desktop, gotta build the server. I am a novice when it comes to Linux, played with it, but never really had a use for it untill now.
As far as I could see Dex seems to be literally just a dock that puts a fan on your phone and enables you to plug in a HDMI cable, a Lan cable, and 2 usb cables to it, while chargin your phone, so the only limitation we should have is if the app does not like to be blown up or used with a mouse and keyboard, + what ever samsung/android limitations are on it.
