Mount Hero on a wireless network - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

Hello folks, ive had a scout around but haven't found any answers,
Is it possible for me to mount my Hero via an app etc, onto a wireless network, so I can push files to it OTA?
(only locally, doesnt need to be able to do so when on a different network or 3G)

Might just be because you are wording it as "mount" you need to tether your phone over wireless? search for wireless tether on the forums.

Try Websharing.

if you use mcr you can use scp, also rsync is available for the hero. if you don't know what i am talking about this is probably not the right solution for you (geeky linux commands involved...).

SSH works for me

thanks for these suggestions guys, i am in no way Linux affiliated, so it looks like Websharing all the way, might have to purchase the full version tho
If i was to start looking into Linux instead, would that allow me to see my phone as a simple networked drive?

- get a rom with dropbear (mcr for example) or install dropbear in your rom
- for mcr find your password in settings -> about phone
- find your ip address whichever way you want (about screen, wifi router, adb shell ifconfig)
- continue as you're used to

thats brilliant, thankyou- I am on MCR 3.1 which is handy =]

right, im probably being thick, ive discovered the Hero is using port 2222, and discovered my ip and password, but the username for the device? Im almost there......

You don't need a user name.
Generally the name will just be the name you want to give the preset within your SSH program.
I use WinSCP and all you need to enter is the IP, the port (2222 as you said) and the password within the About Phone section of the settings app.
Also, you need to connect via SCP and not S/FTP.

that'll be it then, i was using a mac and some free program that would only let me FTP, I'll wait until i get home and find something a bit better, thanks for your help-

sry forgot to mention the port... you can set the username in /system/bin/dropbear.sh, but actually it doesn't change anything. you set the userid=0 and are root, that's it.

a new app just got released called Onair that mounts the SD as a network drive, perfect

i use webshare in the market its brillent

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!

OpenVPN-Server -> Cyanogen Mod

Hey Guys,
in germany we just connect (3G) behind T-Mobile NAT. I want to have a fix ip address with dyndns. Behind a NAT this is not possible. Can anybody help me to solve this problem.
is there a possibility to configure a openvpn-server on cyanogen. Have anybody already make this?
In the cyanogen mod 4.1.999 there were following programs: dropbear, openssl and openvpn or were these programs for client mode configuration?
I couldn't find anything for a server mode. I found a openvpn-monitor.apk which doensn't hava a function.
Thanks for help!
You can use dyndns.org to map your current IP to a domain. If your Router supports it, it can do this automatically. If not, you have to manually run an app.

No, only the client binaries are included. If you need a server version for your handset you will need to either compile it yourself or find someone who has done the work for you. But as far as I know there are no ROMs that include those server binaries (except for maybe a copy of sshd).

I guess the router doing the NAT is not located in his living room but in some server room operated by T-Mobile, so port forwarding or something like that is not an option.
I have the same problem at the moment, T-Mobile assigns me a private IP like 10.0.3.21 which cannot be accessed from the internet even with DynDNS or something like that.
If I come to a conlusion that to try to make my SSH accessible from the internet, I will post it, of course.
Hello,
thanks for reply! But i dont wont access my g1 over a home network. When i want to do this, i connect via telnet or something else. Because my router give me a static IP or a static DHCP IP.
I want to access to my g1 over umts (mobile). I have tried to access my g1 with an dyndns app in the market. In the descriptions of the app was a info that says, in germany with t-mobile contract it doesn´t works.
Have anybode compiled a openvpn-server app?
Thanks!
openvpn has just one program for its peer-to-peer, client, and server modes. There is no separate server.

Transfer Files using Wifi + Android Name

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

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.

Online server

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?

[Q] Microsoft VPN (PPTP)

Hi Folks..
I was wondering whether there is an app that support MS VPN, my work pals have Droids and they have the option within thier wireless settings, Either I am blind or B&N took that option out...
Does anyone know a method of re-activating this function or an app that can replace the functionality?
Thanks all.

Looks like a Cisco Client... When I get home though I will try it out, thank you for the URL!!!
I spent a bit of time trying to get this to work, but I'm not a network infrastructure person, and I couldn't figure out how to map the fields from Cisco VPN Windows session's settings to the fields the Android app expects.
I'm now looking for a Citrix client to read ICA files directly.
Bump:
I'm also looking for a way to connect to a MS VPN from the Nook Color.
Anyone have luck with this?

I am fairly certain Android has native PPTP support, maybe using poptop or whatever the free one is called.
I think my dx has it atleast.
