Network browser for Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello, is there a way or a program that allows you to browse your network shared documents from the Diamond.
For example I want to log with the Diamond in my home WiFi and play music and videos from the hard disk of my PC.
Thanks in advance.

He wants to use his Diamond as a mediacenter.
I also would like to use my diamond as a mediacenter to watch all my divx right away on the diamond by streaming.
Grtzzz

I use Resco Explorer - but in "MY NETWORK" there is nothing even when I am connected to the network and there is shared folders on the PC - can you tell me how to share under Vista so I can see the folders on the Diamond. And also is there a way to configure the network settings on the Diamond - such as WORKGROUP.

You need to map the network drive i.e. long press on 'My Network' and then select 'Map Drive' and choose the folder/drive on your network (after you have shared the folder/drive on the desktop)

i'd recommend Network Folder plugin v1.0
it integrates network drive/folder mapping on to the inbuilt file explorer.....its more like an update to windows rather than a 3rd party app.
and yes, it works like charm...just share a drive from ur pc , get your firewalls set and you are ready to go....

Total Commander is a good option.

File Sharing over WiFi?

I am trying to access files in my shared folders on my desktop running XP.
My wireless router sees my Tilt and my Tilt see my computer.
When I use Resco file explorer, go to Network and map the desktop drive I see four folders:
My Pictures
Shared Music
Shared Video
SharedDocs
When I try to access these folders by tapping on them nothing happens. There are files in them and they are set to share.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
For sharing, you have to have XP or Vista pro. The home ones don't support remote sharing. Found that the hard way :\.

Kareem, that is incorrect. XP home does support sharing (don't know what you mean by "remote" sharing, because sharing will always be remote, right? )
I have XP home and share all the time with my wizard. Don't know what to suggest about this right now, but if you are having problem with this method, then there is another brilliant way for a better solutiong. Search for "mocha ftp server" on google. This is a freeware that sits on ur pocket pc and runs an ftp server. You can access this server from ur desktop for writing files to ur handheld "AND" to read files from it as well (i.e. it allows 2-way sharing) which otherwise impossible over network without installing specialised software over ur desktop (like microsoft portrait)
why not use resco file explorer.. much easier...

he uses resco, read the first post
i think it's a problem with the rights-management on your shared folders
check if they are readable for everyone, cause i don't know if resco file explorer is able to authentificate with your prefered credentials

I am able to open network shares from my Kaiser using Total Commander. I can access shares on XP Home Desktop and Vista Home Premium Laptop. Vista will not allow me to be logged in as the same user on laptop and Kaiser at the same time but XP does seem to allow this. The user/password prompt can take a while to appear initially.
Have you definitely enabled sharing on the PC?
Can you access these shares from another PC?
Another option which might suit your needs is Orb. This is brilliant for me I can access files and webcam and TV whilst out and about on my Kaiser and from any PC.

Windows shares over wifi

I've had no issue getting to shares on my network with my Tilt until recently. I've flashed Dutty's WM6.1 RTM ROM and everything I've been using has worked well, except that the File Explorer cannot connect to any of my shares. When I input the path, it pops the bubble up pointing at the wifi icon stating "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection setting, tap Settings."
Now, in TCPMP and Core Player, I can browse my shares just fine. It asks for a name and password even though I don't use one for my desktop, so I pop in my user name with no password and it shows the shares. File Explorer STILL refuses to do anything but change my settings. I can browse the internet over wifi and stream music/video, but not copy files.
I use a fixed IP's on the network, and there's no domain controller, just a workgroup.
Did I miss something?

Ok chap, you might want to have a look at this program its what ive always used then it makes the mapped files ok with every program as it uses an internal location
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-network-folder-plugin-v1-0.html
Yes, that plugin comes with the ROM. However, I would prefer not to have to map a drive just to access shares. File Explorer has the capability and has worked fine in the past. Has no one encountered this strange error before?

wlan filesharing through router

hey there,
im using my day off to play a little bit with my td. now i would like to build network connection via wlan through my router to my desktop so i can move files from pc to ppc and vica versa. problem is that im not able to see my desktop on the phone, nor to see my phone on the desktop. i cant even get into any filesharing option(s) on the diamond
since now im using resco explorer...
help needed
What have you tried so far?
In Resco Explorer, try Menu > File > Network > Map Drive and then enter the computer name and share in the format \\computer\share.
You may find there are no computers/shares listed in the bottom window (hence why you have to manually enter it above) however in my case I'd always put this down to me using Samba on Linux but perhaps it just doesn't support this sort of network 'browsing' to find what shares are available.

yeehaaw thanks a lot! that made it. still a a bit uncomfortable but i think once added i dont have to reenter the path.
so now i just have to figure out how to make this work vice versa... wonder if it is as easy as it sounds i'll let you know
thanks so far!!
I don't think it's possible the other way round... but that shouldn't matter as from your phone you've got two-way traffic right now.
You're right about not needing to reenter the name - just hit My Device at the top (or traverse up to the tree to the top) and you'll find a My Network at the same level - inside here is your previously mapped share(s).

Hi,
I have tried to map my Vista laptop via Resco as stated above but comes up with error :
Cannot map network path, network resorce cannot be found.....
As I dont fully understand what I am doing can someone do a walkthough please?
I have tried to search the forum, but can get it to search keywords.
Thanks in advance
PS Can I map the internal storage via windows explorer?
You guyz should try Total Commander, it has a plugin for LAN. Works very good, even transferring big files. Running Vista Ultimate.
Greetings.
Thanks Sergio for your reply, I have total commander but have no idea how to use it, Can you offer any step by step instructions to connect to my vista laptop.
Thanks

Sure no prob do this:
-Turn your WiFi connection. (usually best performance settings works best)
-Access Total Commander.
-In the main page, where you see Internal Storage and device. You should see a folder named \\Plugins. Access this folder.
-Then access the folder named LAN.
-Then access the <new server> option.
-Name your connection.
-When asked for the server name, type in the computer you want to access (you can find the name by going in your PC to the network file and check which files are shared on your computer, click on them and you should get the name of the server "pic attached")
-You are done enjoy.
-Vista kicks assss.
Greetings to all.
Thanks Sergio,
I have followed your steps,Now I can connect to the Laptop folder in the network Directory which is the location \\LAPTOP. I can connect fine but the folders are not visable so appears to be empty in Total Commander which we know its not.
I also have a NAS drive which I can connect to following your steps with ease. Trouble is I dont want to use this as it is by Back up drive.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks again.

How to access Home Network (in Vista) from my Tilt?

I have my Tilt connected to the internet @ home via my Router using wifi..I have some files (mp3s, videos) shared on the network via the router..how do I access these files from my tilt? Do I need a special program or what?
nobody knows how? I just want to be able to access my shared folders on my home pc through wifi..I can't seem to get it..
I personally like resco file explorer. Unfortunatly haven't been able to use it to get on my Windows 7 computer though
I have resco explorer 2008 and I go browse under NETWORK and nothing shows up..do i need to configure anything?
Have you looked at Remote Desktop ?

http://www.vmobilesoftware.com/NetworkBrowser.htm
I am glad you asked i have always wanted to do this too. and i just found out how.
crap it is pay ware if anyone can find a similar thing that is freeware please post.
Ok I just found out why it wasn't letting me view the shared computer...it was Norton360 firewall..as soon as I disabled it..it let me access the files from the pc on my phone..my question now is how do i tell the firewall to let me see the files..because I do want it on..but still want to access my files.
euklid, are you behind a router to the internet? if so you basically have a hardware firewall (it doesnt pass on traffic to ports unless u specify it to do so) Norton is crap imo.... Windows Firewall does what it needs to do...
i use network folder plugin. cant remember where to get it from i've used it on wizard hermes and now the tilt. it does exactly what u want. it installs in start>settings>connections just go in there u just have to map it to ur shared folders.

How to use wifi to manage files on mobile via PC

Things are more simpler than it seems to be.
I am going to share how I did it, in very simple way.
Things you will need :
PC with any wifi working (NEED NOT WIFI-DIRECT AT ALL
Any android mobile with hot-spot working. (Rooted for root directory)
ES-File manager (Free)
Main reason to write this tutorial is for broadband users of PC (but internet is not needed), not having wifi-direct card, and no use of any wireless router or LAN or any fancy device.
I will tell you my short story, I am a usb-modem user with 2g/3g net with very limited data connection. Also cant buy wifi routers just to put my mobile n PC on "same network" criterion. USB was a pain and also very limited to just SD-card, and no root access via USB. So I took this mess and did my all to settle it as I need rather than fancy drivers and devices.
Enough of spoilers, lets start :
Mobile side settings :
Install ES-File manager. Goto windows->default->check remote manager​Back to Home-screen and swipe to remote manager page, It will say no connection detected (its ok)​Click on turn on wifi to enter in wifi settings and start hot-spot (or you can do it first)​It will show an ftp address like "ftp://197.0.0.1:3721/", NOTE IT DOWN​
Pc side settings
Search for the just created Wifi-Hotspot and connect to it​Now 2 ways to connect to mobile : 1. Open windows explorer, directly write the ftp address as it is and voila you see your mobiles directory there.
2. Open windows explorer->right click on my computer->Add a network location->Next->write the ftp address->(<give a name>)->finish​Boom, it will show as network mapped folder, click on it goes to your mobile.​
THINGS TO REMEMBER :
IF YOU NEED TO ACCESS THE ROOT FOLDER OF YOUR MOBILE, SET THE PATH IN REMOTE MANAGER'S SETTING OPTION (SET ROOT DIRECTORY)
Any problem you tell me.
Sorry for my English.
hi
I suggest adding the "[Tutorial]" tag in the title to avoid confusions. The thread seemed a help request to me first.
that's an interesting thing.
Just use AirDroid 2 and u r good to go ^^
For this I'm using RootFTP, but is nice to know that ESFileEx can do this, I susect it, but i dont had time to look at.
