Always ON Network services / Servers - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
We have many apps like smartftp or Webdav Server or even ES File explorer that can create temp server on phone that can be accessible on PC via web browser or any ftp client.
Is there any app or trick, where these server will be always active / running . So that i can access my phones storage from my pc without manually starting the app every time.
(this can be a general question but still required i m using samsung gal Y S5360 )
best wishes

In the setting option in remote manager of ES File Explorer, just select the Create Shortcut, it'll create a shortcut on home screen

but still i need my phone alongside me to touch that shortcut and start the ftp server.
(If my PC is on i can access the shared folders by entering the credentials in LAN section of ES File Explorer. I dont need anything to do at my PC end... same way, if my phone is not laying near me it wont be possible to touch and start the FTP service.)
so is there a way, where this service will be started with phone boot and run in background without any disturbance and just keep running.
airdroid is not an option as it will need both devices connected to internet. ...
currently i m asking the solution where both the devices are connected to same Local Area Network.(wifi router)

[Q] Installing Certificate for Citrix Receiver

Hey guys...
I need your help... I have been trying to install my CA Certificate so i can use it for XenApp Hosted Applications.
After 3 hours of struggling & trying to get my Xoom to recognize the Certificate i finally got it working by changing the .cer file to .crt & changing it from .pfx to .p12
& placing it on the mnt/sdcard/
So after it was recognized i was jumping with joy and started Citrix Receiver and logged in on my domain & started an app.. but i still get the same certificate error The error is "An Error has occured while making an SSL Connection to Xenapp. Please contact your Xenapp Administrator"
Please help.
I've given up trying to set up citrix directly through the app. I get authentication errors and certificate errors no matter what variation i use.
People that use ipads have no problems so I've concluded its just a matter of the amount of access/device types that have been granted by the admins.
Something that does work for me though: When I open my companies web access portal through firefox it downloads an .ica file that opens in the citrix app. I've tried other browswers including the stock browser, dolphin for pad, and others that don't work correctly but firefox does.
I am the Admin & I myself have setup the Citrix XenApp Server, and i know this for sure that Mobile Devices are fully allowed.
Even if we get the .ica via firefox are we able to run it & run the hosted apps? on the stock / dolpin hd browser it doesn't work nothing happens if you click on the apps icon.
thats what I meant. Getting the .ica via firefox is the only way i can get the citrix app to launch stuff.

How to browse files on phone via win 7 explorer

How to browse files on phone via win 7 explorer.
I use wifi router which has my computer connect via lan cable (wired connection) & other computer/laptop & phone connected via wifi.
From the phone using es file explorer I can surf the lan on windows 7 computer but I cant surf the files on phone from win 7 explorer, it does not even show in devices connected (using usb connection it shows) so I assume that something else needs to be switched on or connected, can someone tell me what do I need to do so I can browse phone files via windows explorer?
if you have an sd card in the phone and the drivers installed, you can browse the files on the sd card via usb connection. if you're trying to browse ROOT files (which you forgot to mention), the only way to see root folder files on your computer is to install android commander and follow the instructions. google it, and good luck.
Do you want to browse your phone files through wifi? There are multiple ways:
1) connect to your phone through samba. Install Samba Filesharing and you'll see the phone in your network.
2) connect to your phone through ftp. Install one of the many app in the market, like this or a file manager (many of them allow you to share folders through ftp or even http) and in windows explorer simply type the address shown in the app (ftp://192.XXXXXXX)
3) use airdroid (it will allow you to do also other stuff, like sending sms)
Wao!
I am glad I asked & I am surprised by airdroid, wonderful interface it has loving it now.
Thanks

Both are paid apps whereas airdroid is free & the interface airdroid offers is far better than anything I have seen. With airdroid I can do much more than just file transfer like sending sms.

Transfer files between Android devices and computers.
Cut, copy, paste, search, rename or delete files on the SD card.

I suggest you use USB Mass Storage If you want to view files on your sd card. If you want to view rooted files on your phone I suggest using android commander.
Try to get MY PHONE EXPLORER it's free can save SMS, contacts, restore, install apps, backup, view folders, edit them and many things for FREE!
and yeah I've used all the above said apps, and more but nothing beats my phone explorer, IMHO

I have been using myphoneexplorer last 6 years & yes its the best what it does but what actually I was looking for was to use windows explorer to surf the files but have not succeeded in doing that.
Using these software both airdroid & myphoneexplorer File transfer is slow 1.6-1.8Mbps so 1gb file takes almost 10 mins time I thought it could be faster if I use windows explorer but seems its wifi limitation.
I use 54Mbps B/G/N wifi router & have class 6 SD card, when I use usb connection the file download is much faster within 2-3 mins for 1gb data.
Transfer files wirelessly is always slower.
Note that the speed you see when you download a file through airdroid (or anything else) is usually expressed in MBps and not Mbps, they are different things. Your router support a max speed of 56Mbps which is equal to 7MB/s. That said, 2MB/s is not that bad, you also have to consider that it's hard to achieve the max speed, you need to be near the router.
For huge USB is the best.
(For file transfers I think that the others two method are better, airdroid is not so confortable.)
Ok I will try the two methods & see if the speed can be faster, if no speed gain then I stick to myphoneexplorer only as it has everything minus the user interface of airdroid.
BTW I have the router right beside me 3 feet away.

[APP][2.1+] Share your files by WiFi (Ad-hoc tethering)

This little application let you share your files, then recipient can view or download those via web browser.
Features:
Support upload files to phone.
Using HTTP protocol, recipient only need a web browser to send or receive files, and do not need additional software.
Using WiFi networks, support Ad-hoc tethering.
As a complement of common forms of file transmission such as USB, FTP, Bluetooth or manual copying, this program is handy to use when you are at outdoor or temporary office space and want to transfer files between the other phone, tablet or computer.
Additional support for the system clipboard and text messages to share.
Notes:
The receiving device need to be on the same local area network with your phone, or connected your phone with adhoc.
This is NOT a file management application, it can not choose which file to share, you need use other software (e.g. File Manager, Gallery, Media Player, etc) in the "Send to" or "sharing" feature to invoke this program. If this program is started directly, it will only receive files and share nothing.
Since we do not using permissions which can access private data, so do not support share private informations such as contacts or e-mails.
To make things simple and safe, there are no background long run service, file sharing will be stopped when you leave the main window of the application.

[Q] Folder sync between phone and tablet over wifi

Hello all, I need to sync folders between my phone (Galaxy S2) and my Infinity... I use to do it with my PC but it's time is up, CPU failes... The folders are my music and photos folders, I would like to do this over the wifi in my house. The app must basically compare the folder contents on both the phone and tablet, and if there are any additions to either, they must be coppied to the other device. For instance if I take a few photos with my phone during the day, the app must detect that there are new files in the Camera folder and send those to the tablet, or if I put a mp3 file on my tablet it must be sent to my phone as well...
Are there any apps that do this? I am more than willing to pay for this functionality
Id like to know this too!

CHeck here:

Basically, if your phone and your tablet are on the same wifi, you should be able to click the LAN tab, and then scan the LAN. It will show all the IP addresses of the devices on the network.
This works wonders.

Does it work directly between two Android devices, without requiring to upload everything to the cloud from one device and downloading again on the other?

Syncs with the cloud.
Esexplorer will require you to copy/paste between devices. Foldersync with dropbox/box.net may be your best bet.
Foldersync allows scheduling of sync with cloud via wifi only or data plan. Its the best 'set it & forget it' option I've found

A way to sync folders between phone, tablet and PC?

Why hallo thare!
As you see in my signature I have a Gnote and a Asus Infinity and my home PC is a MSI GX740 with Windows 7. My idea is that I want to sync some folders so they look all the same on all three devices. The method would be when they all are connected to my home Wifi they shall sync a certain folder. Another neat thing is that everytime I get home and connect my phone or tablet to my Wifi it shall upload the DCIM/Camera dir to my PC so I dont have to mess with that
Is this possible?
Thanx in advance

For sure it's possible, but why not give a chance to e.g. a dropbox. It gives all functionality you ask for, with uploading camera pics directly to dropbox folder on my lap, all folders in dropbox synced in all my units

I was looking for something similar and decide to use box.net as backup/sync tool.. Whenever I do something in one of the folders stored in box, it automatically syncs to the cloud. Then when I use the box app in my tablet, phone or desktop, all the files are synced.
I read somewhere about auto upload photos, but not sure if it was with box.net or dropbox.
hope this helps

Photo sync (camera upload) from a phone works in dropbox, and you have to choose an option whether any data connection or wifi only.
Try Sugarsync.

Faced with a similar need, I worked with a family member in another city to set up a private "Cloud" using FTP. I back my files up to his system, he backs his up to mine.
The PC apps are Filezilla server and client for the FTP functions. SyncBack is an automated backup/sync program. Those take care of PC to PC transfers and syncs.
The android app I chose is FolderSync.
Try GammaSync
