Hi
Just purchased a Kaiser and loving it!
I am new to windows mobile and trying to SSH into one of my work servers.
I have purchased PocketTY and copied my SSH2 key on to my device. I have setup a VPN in the connections settings.
How on earth do I make PocketTY connect via 3G and dial my VPN to access the server? I cannot find any docs this at all. Do I need a VPN client and if so which one should I get.
Thanks
bump
Does no one really know how to do this?
Thanks
Try PocketPutty, works a treat for me and it's free........
I think that it depends on what type of vpn you're using. Me for example I use Open VPN and therefore I had to use openvpn client on my kaiser (and I'm very happy that there is one). I also think that in your case is the vpn that isn't working properly yet. Let me know what vpn link do you have and I'll try to help you
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?
Hi, i`ve been looking for a way to transfer files to the phone without using the USB cable.
I found: OnAir which does not work and SwiFTP which works but...
- i`m using Conectify to share my laptops internet connection. This in turn offers IP`s with DHCP.
Is there a way to name your phone to something fixed so that i can use it's name to connect?
If you have any other tips on how to do this, please feel free to let me know

you can use WebSharing, connect using IP address + port number..

on air does work fine on both 5.0.7 and froyo for me.
I suppose you're talking about Windows network. Is the phone rooted or not?
Non-rooted have no such option, but can use FTP. If you want to address it by a name - install DynDNS on the phone.
Rooted can change hostname to whatever you like (look up my thread about it in Development section - but it doesn't show on Windows network, since it's not NetBIOS name, it needs DNS server to be addressed) and/or install Samba+Netbios (look up Samba thread in Android General section, this one shows your phone as a computer on the Windows network with an SDCARD share, but it's a bit quirky - slows down when phone goes into sleep). Both things require interaction with O/S on a level of browsing system dirs, executing system commands and changing system text files. If you're not comfortable with it - I don't suggest trying.
I would just use ES File Explorer and pull the files from your Windows shares that you want rather than trying to go through all of the trouble to push a file to your phone.
Estrongs File Explorer does work very well browsing windows/smb shares over wifi. Astro can do this as well as an option for sftp for connecting to your linux box. As for a static IP you can do this manually from the wifi options in the phone. Or a nice app was made called WiFi Static, and is available free from the market.
A bit of a different choice, but Dropbox is free and can share files between any number of devices, in the cloud.
How to use Astro SMB module? I cant connect to my PC with it .. I am currently using another SMB app called File Expert and it works fine.. I want to try Astro SMB module since I just loved its file manager.. Can anybody tell me how to set up astro?
Are you working with Windows Vista or 7?
In that case, newer SMB underlying protocol used by those systems might explain it, your client needs to support it.
Yeah I am using 7..
So, astro wont work?
You can do a check - perform this:
http://www.tannerwilliamson.com/2009/09/windows-7-seven-network-file-sharing-fix-samba-smb/
And try to connect. If it works - then it's the only way, due to the reason I wrote above. It's downgrading the share security, but I guess for most home networks it's not important at all.
I'm running several shares on my network, most are linux smb shares but there are a couple windows shares as well. Astro refuses to access any of them.
I installed estrong file explorer, all shares are visible and I have access to all of them. So my suggestion is to give estrong a shot. Free app with no ads

Hi,
I've Windows Xp, but Astro SMB doesn't work. Instead, Estrongs File Explorer it's able to see my pc, to connect my galaxy s with it and to let me see on the phone shared document.
But I prefer Astro SMB, so anyone can tell me how to configurate Astro to make it work?
Thanks
Look at the link posted above.
sorry, but isn't the link above only for windows 7?
I've got windows xp
The link above is for Windows 7 and Vista, indeed. Sorry, I kinda missed that part of your post.
If Astro SMB doesn't work with your Windows XP - there are 2 options: 1) if you have a corporate laptop or something - it might be set to use the same sharing security as Win7 and Vista, and then you need to do the same thing as described in the link. 2) if not - then it's probably some problem with configuration, and people might be able to help you with it. What exactly are you trying to do, and what is the result? Please describe.
no, my pc isn't a corporate laptop but an home pc.
I want to create a network between my galaxy s with android and my home pc, using my router wifi.
So i've installed smb module for Astro. Then i've selected new network--->smb. After that step, the phone ask me some information. For exactly:
-Label
-Server
-Domain
-Shared folder
-User
-Password
I've try to set as Server the IP of my pc and as user and password that one I use to access on Windows Xp. But Astro gives me the error: "unknown user or bad password".
I'd like that someone who use Astro for networking with windows Xp would tell me how to configure the net.
With Estrongs Explorer files i had no problems: when i've selected "lan", the software has searched automatically avaiable devices and found my pc with his IP. Then i've selected "connect" and Shared folders appared on my phone...
You don't need to enter user credentials to connect to common share, if I'm not mistaken. Try without username and password, only server and shared folder.

In this way it gives another error: SocketTimeoutException: socket is not connected
I've finally decided to use ES file explorer.
Ty however
Turn off simple file sharing in any explorer window. Folder, options, third tab (forget label), drill to bottom and deselect simple file sharing. Check firewall... and you should have your shares pw protected. I usually just go to my serger and put c$ in the folder field.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Finally worked
So finally i was able to share files between ASTRO & my Win7 Ulti laptop.
Assuming your settings at PC end are correct, here's what you need to do in ASTRO,
Under, Networks>New>SMB, Just fill in the..
Server: <your pc local ip, say, 192.168.1.2>
Username: Guest
Password: <blank>
I filled only the above mentioned fields, leaving everything else blank.
The above setting will work if you have simple sharing enabled on your pc with no username/password, as it was in my case or you may use the username/password for your window's login. Also see that the file/folder you are trying to share has atleast Read permission for 'Guest' account.
It should work now.
But i encountered a new problem now, i was keen to use ASTRO as i thought it will be able to play videos from my PC but when i try to open file using the Video Player, it gives some crashing sort of error & closes. However, i am able to play the same file from my memory card using Video Player.
Any solution??
Use Samba mount command from Development section, to mount your PC share as a directory under /sdcard.
I think thats possible only with rooted phones, plz correct me if i am wrong..
My phone is not rooted.
I can't verify it, but I think mount should work with non-rooted phones too, as long as you have busybox and your kernel supports CIFS (it's a good question if the stock one does - I believe you're running stock?)...

Thanks again..

I'm able to connect to all my PCs very quickly and easily. Besides, they are working on Root permissions as well, so this can be a root explorer (currently only CM is supported).
Has anyone got any recommendations for a sFTP client that works well on the Nook? My first port of call was AndFTP, which I've used successfully for years on my phones, but crashes after adding a server, and crashes every startup thereafter. My second port of call was estrongs file manager, but that curiously does the same thing!
EDIT: I've also tried FtpCafe (which has the same problem), and older versions of AndFTP.
ES File Explorer does SFTP very well.

Thanks. I'm sure I tried ES File Explorer and found the same problem, but maybe it was an older version. The version I have installed currently works indeed.
Thanks!
Ghost commander?
It runs in super user mode so you can work in in the root folders, It does samba to access windows drives and ftp works fine. There is an sFTP client add on. Check it out.
Best ftp client, old nc style file manager too, this plugin for total commander:

For ftp server I use Servers Ultimate (Pro version).
