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.
Hi guys,
I have set up a smb server on my android device (smart tv thing I bought from amazon)
I can access the external drives that are attached to the device fine from windows explorer but cannot transfer anything, I get some message pop up on windows saying the path could not be found.
I've tried searching for a solution but can't find anything. I've tried ftp and that works for single files but not batch files/folders.
Smb is the only way I've been able to map the directory through windows.
Is there anyone who can help with this?
I just need a simple solution to transfer data using win explorer to the external drives attached to my android device.
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...
Hello
Seagate has discontinued remote viewing of this series of cloud drives....
I do have an older model of this drive that still is recognized in the cloud. I use it to store movie libraries on PLEX.
I used to be able to login in a chrome pointed to the IP Address ie 192.168.1.222 .... simple enough but remote cannot be turned on.
HOWEVER, using the X-plore app by Michal Bacik on My Pixel OS 12 Phone I can add the drive as a server and see all the files and all is well.
Using File Explorer, Windows 10 Sees this drive and lists it under the Network tab, but clicking on the drive says Windows cannot access this device ?
Under Network locations it sees it as "SCSS DLNA Server: SEAGATE3TB-02" (SEAGATE3TB-02 is what I named it)
Clicking on "SCSS DLNA Server: SEAGATE3TB-02" it opens a window ">COMPUTER >SCSS DLNA Server: SEAGATE3TB-02" and says this folder is empty.
It's not empty... lots of mp4 video files which I can access and play using my android phone.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Chas
