Does anyone know what program I can install, or what to configure to open an FTP server on an XP Pro machine???? I haven't had much luck finging an answer elsewhere..... I am MCP, and know how to do it on 2k server (although it's been a while), and I"m going to re-breez my books tonight. TIA!
try some of these

This may seem like a weird request but I am looking for a way to share folders on my Kaiser. The reason for this is that my wife has a Wizard and I have set up a WiFi network between the two to play games together. I download software and games at work and then need to tranfer the the files to the Wizard.
Now I know that you can transfer it via bluetooth but that sometimes take quite long and since we have a wifi network thought that why not look for a way of utilizing it for the file transferring as well.
I have tried to Google the subject extensively but only got ways of sharing folders between my pc and the ppc's, nothing on ppc to ppc.
Any input regarding this would be appreciated.
I'm also interested in such a feature (so I don't think is weird )! My search on the subject has concluded that even though M$ has SMB server in Windows CE (after all, SMB is a Microsoft protocol!), only the client side is included in WindowsMobile
The closest thing I have managed to achieve is to use an FTP server on the kaiser, and Novell's Netdrive on the PC (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/qna/999.html)
hope it helps...

due to limitations in the windows mobile network stack, network shares are not possible from windows mobile.
you can access and create remote mapped drives with resco explorer, vm net browser, and z2 pocketlan... among others.
ftp may be the only option other than a raw activesync connection or bluetooth/irda

Where there is a will their has to be a way.
Thanks for the responce guys, really do appreciate it.
Surely there must be a way to achieve something like this, if there is one thing I have learned from these forums it has to be that just about anything is possible. I'm sure there as to be something we can do. I will not stop digging till I find a way.

I'm not to sure what you mean by the ftp server on the Kaiser. Do I create a folder on the Kaiser that acts as a ftp folder and then connect to that or is it still a ftp folder on a server somewhere else and then need internet connection to connect to it. Please could you tell me more about this.
Thanks in advance.

Yeap, here it is:
You can run an FTP server on the kaiser (like the free Mocha FTP server) which will let incoming network users to access a directory you specify... I have specified the whole root dir "\". Then, you can use any ftp client software on a desktop PC (or another kaiser of course) to access the FTP server that is running on your kaiser. Of course, you have to know the IP address of the server. Once you have verified that the kaiser is accessible and the files downloadable, you can use the Novell's Netdrive (free also) to create a virtual disk on the client PC that will actually use FTP! That way, any program on the PC can access the kaiser's files, just as normal filesystem files. Apart from the delays and latencies, the scenario works great. As a matter of fact, I use it within my development cycle, where I have a post-build action that copies my program's compiled executable directly to the kaiser.
I hope these made it more clear
have fun,

Thanks a lot for the info, I'm definitely gonna play around with this. Will post back here with my results when I'm done.
Thanks again!!!
I have checked out Mocha FTP server and downloaded it. Will test it tonight, it looks like it will do the trick though. If I run Mocha FTP server on both ppc I should be able to copy files from one to the other without a problem.

of course in that case, you will need an FTP client on each device... but I guess that is the easy part...
I know at least one FTP client that is a file manager at the same time (TotalCommander... the one I use )
Perhaps there is a similar way to NetDrive, to map an FTP site onto a local path on the ppc so to be "visible" from any application, but I haven't used/tried any.

Definitely Worth Trying ..
hypest, you ROCK

Thanks you, it works like a dream. Tested it last night and at first didn't use my head. Every time I went into the FTP folder there was nothing, little red cross over the FTP connection at the top. I then created another ftp and still all I got was the little red cross( My wife then interrupted me for dinner, thanks. Cleared my head a bit) After dinner when back to it and deleted the one ftp and it was then when I saw you have to click "Connect", while clicked it and there was the folder that I shared on my ppc. Copied a couple of files and it works 100%. I use Resco Explorer 2007, works like a dream and its got a couple of other extra uses.
I'm not to pressed to have the client on both because I normally have all the stuff on mine and then copy it to my wife's. Won't do any harm to have it on both though. This is probably a little longer route than normal file sharing but it works perfect. Still going to try what you suggested above, will keep you posted.
Thanks again hypest.

Glad you're quite satisfied with this "solution"
I really hope though that someday a SMB server will come forth (free hopefully)!
Great irony: SMB server software does exist for Symbian!!! Symbian users can export a local dir, while WindowsMobile users CANNOT!!! And this (kaiser) is supposed to be a 800euro (in Greece) BUSSINESS phone! Shame...
In South Africa the Kaiser is about R8000,00 if you were to buy it cash.
I've got it on a MTN contract costing me R419,00 per month for 2 years. For that I only get the phone and 120 anytime minutes. (BIG RIP-OFF)
Anyway I will keep playing with this and will let you know if I get a breakthrough.
Thanks again for your input.
About a year ago I could use media net as my phone as modem on my razr v3xx, And I also could go to any site and download whatever I wanted no matter how big the file was or where it came from. But now I can only get peer to peer from lime wire all web sites not perrto peer is ok thought. What happend form last year to now that is blocking people form these web sites? Thank you guys. P.s I just bought a tilt aka kaiser and couldn't dl for any site so I got a copy of rasco registry editer and took out the proxy and the ip adresses along with the the dns servers and now it works great!! However like the razr only can dl form limewire "as far as torrent sites go" -jim

I have tested this app myself and its super awesome app..!!
I converted my Inc s into the FTP server..
Wholaa My sdcard is on Web...:laugh::laugh::laugh:
No more USB connecting to copy files from my device...
There are option to create hell lot of server types DLNA, DDNS, FTP(S), Proxy, HTTP(S), WebDAV, etc!
Please head on to his thread..
Teleport Me There :good:
Thanks for the tip. I use samba server with wifi hotspot. It's easy because I can just use windows explorer to transfer files but I'm not that impressed with the transfer speed which is around 2Mb/s. What kind of speeds do you get with the FTP server and what client do you use?
You seem to have some knowledge and potential. Keep going...

this will be useful around the house. thanks

Well with this app you don't need to turn on your device as hotspot..
just connect it to your wifi or 3g ....
configure and start ftp server with noob steps
Thats it..
Now speed is something that depends on below factors..
1.speed of net on the your device here HTC Inc S
2.speed of net on your PC from where you gonna access the your ftp server ( HTC Inc S)
Hey all,
So i have a Prime R1 HD - unrooted.
When I setup WiFi hotspot (through Settings), internet works except for connecting to FTP using FireFTP client (FireFox addon)
I sometimes need to do work on the go, and I use FireFTP becuase I don't have to swtich windows / programs to jump between web page and FTP cleint
But with R1HD, I cannot connect to ANY website via FTP inside firefox.
ANY IDEA? I tried doing IP6 inside APN - no luck
FileZilla FTP client works ok, but is not convenient
PLEASE HELP GUYS

Please, can you clarify. Are you having trouble with your PC/laptop. And the r1hd is just as your modem.
??
Do you have option to test same site with wifi, and see if that works? Then switch to tethered connection?
