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

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.
hi all,
i was wondering...
i am looking for a proper Webserver and SSH server (daemon) for my Kaiser.
first.
i want to connect to my phone via SSH (like putty). Does any body know a good piece of software (or cab file) ??
second.
my friends wants connection to my phone webpage. Does any body know a good piece of software (or cab file) ??
many thanks in advance for all the replies !!
How about PocketPutty, http://www.pocketputty.net/. Very much like Putty.
Did you search, man? See my sig.
Not Looking For Client
thanks...but...
i am NOT looking for the client app. but for the server (or daemon) application
to make it clear...i want to run the server part on my HTC kaiser
thanks in advance

If you like PHP..
There's also another PPC webserver called PocketHPH which will let you run PHP scripts on the phone: http://mobileleap.net/hph
Pretty neet, free for personal use. I've messed with it before, but haven't reinstalled it since reflashing.. Looking at the site, they've apparently updated it with fopen() support, which kicks ass. Now I can write webapps for my phone which interact with my website (also PHP)
w00t!

Be nice if this was useful with the cheap data plans from ex-Cingular, but alas, natted.. I kept thinking "It'd be nice to be able to pop a quick connection to my phone and look at some status" but just won't work.
Tried Hamachi?
There's a PPC Hamachi client which is free.. Then you get VPN capabilities, no more NAT, poof.. Access to your mobile from a computer! The only downside is that Hamachi has to be installed on the computer you're accessing from..
HTH,
--Weasel
EDIT: http://www.hamachi.cc is the address.
EDIT 2: Hard to find from the main page, it's actually here: https://secure.logmein.com/labs.asp (near the bottom)
EDIT 3: For those lazy types: https://secure.logmein.com/labs/hamachi-0.0.3.1.cab
I found this: OpenSSH ported to Windows CE!
http://www.codeplex.com/wiki/view.aspx?projectname=CESSH
It's alpha, at v0.0.1..
Download link is a weird AJAXy popupish thing, so I can't grab the URL without some legwork, and I'm feelin' kinda mellow (read: lazy) right now.. but no registration required, just click the "Download Now" button on the right..
About to d/l and try it out.. Hope it works!

Hmm, VPN. Yeah, that could work. I wouldn't use whatever solution the above is, most likely, but a general VPN could do the trick as long as it reconnects on its own and such. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi!
I'm looking to put together some kind of home media/file server and frankly I don't know where to start. Basically I want to be able to have a giant-ass HD with all my media on it that can stream to my TV/Stereo and my laptops can sync up files and get backed up. Would be great if I could get at it all remotely as well. I have a spare machine and am not too afraid of Linux, but also ready to buy Windows HS if that does the simple things I need for a couple-hundred bucks.
What do you guys recommend? Where should I start researching all of this? What do I need to look for in an HD TV so that I can easily access my files from it? Thanks a TON!!!!

From memory in the linux space you have MythTv which works fairly well, if you want windows you've got windows media centre which works very well. Given you are planning on doing file transfers may I suggest that you want 100mpbs wired+ or wireless N (large file copies are painful on wireless G)
I use Windows Home server and it's great. I used to run a Ubuntu server which was great to but was less compatible with stuff and took a lot more time.
Try them both out, you can get a windows 120 day trial.
Alternatively if you just want netowrk storage try FreeNAS. That's very good to.
If you need any help just PM me.
Just make sure that the storage harddrive is external so you can throw it out of the window if the police ever show up Myabe make a thermite cage or whatnot, hide the HDD in the wall or something. Maybe even get a high strength electromagnet in place on a switch or
Easiest of all:
Download and install truecrypt. Lock up that whole drive. Hell even add a hidden partition with Truecrypt. The power goes out and they have a fun of a time trying to guess a 37 character password
Setting up a ftp server on your desktop may be one solution.
I recently installed a Buffalo LinkStation like this one.
http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/linkstation/linkstation-pro-ls-xhl/
It is a network HD that can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection. Since I am using it to share files with my independent contractors, the Buffalo Drive was a better option.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I've got some things to google now and a place to start, I appreciate the help and will let you guys know how it works out!
Hi all,
Sorry to ask this, but I've been thinking the past few days about this.
I wasn't sure if the Software section would be the right place, so thought here would be a good start.
Is there any FTP clients (for WIFI usage only) for the Kaiser?
To download a remote server / PC and download things to the phone, such as music and films etc?
I was wanting to ftp something from my NAS drive to my Xbox 1 the other day, and ended up needing to switch on a laptop to do it, but while ftping, I decided to google this, and came up fairly dry.
Total Commander seems to say it will do it, but doesn't (or not that I could figure out).
Have you used one, and chuffed with it?
Ideally, my only criteria is, that it can do server to server, so FXP, so NAS to Xbox etc.
Thanks guys,
Kaiser FTP client
yes, Check out Resco's. Resco.net I think. They make an awesome file explorer and you get the registry editor and ftp client for free.
hey guys i was wondering if i could convert a external hard to a online storage or something
like i have a 1.5 tb hd...i already have one for my needs and this one is just lying in dust so thought if i could make some good use of it thank you
you might hav to load some form of OS,
Windows Server 2003 / 2008
or Linux Cent OS
Or you can connect it to your computer and set up FTP server.
For example the FileZilla server for windows.
Don't forget to set up user password and path to your hard drive. You can transfer files between computers easily. Also you can set up port forwarding for FTP on your router so you can access the files from internet. Beware that data is not encoded during the transfer and can be seen by hackers.
P.S. I used to send hundreds of photos to my friend though the internet without compression.

Not sure how this would work as I have not tried it, nor do I have what I am going to suggest.
How about putting it into a NAS, that way you should also be able to open the ports to access online? That way you don't need all this server stuff?
