Hi all,
Has anyone had luck with the lan connection in File Manager HD, from your Xoom to your PC? I have a shared folder on my PC from which I would like to transfer some pictures to my Xoom. I"m missing something as the connection fails. The permissions on the PC are right, I believe. Do I need to enable an FTP or smb server on my win 7 laptop? I need the abillity for wifi transfers to and from my zoom so any other app recommendations are appreciated.
TIA,
Jim

I don't have problems with SMB transfer from both File Manager HD nor ES File Explorer... usually, the key is the login credentials... you'll probably have to check the settings in your Desk pc (maybe firewall too)... as long they're correct and you're in the same LAN, it should not be a problem
(it could be much faster, but at least it works...)
Now I'm using File Expert on my Zoom and an FTP client on my Win7 machine. I'm still trying to get FM HD to work. I've tried every networking trick I know and that is quite. A few.
I'll post back here as soon as I do.

I am using ES File Manager and the obvious needed checking, IP Address (check), LOGON credentials (I forgot I had to log on to the PC so Username and Password)(check). I have my D:\ shared in Windows so maybe that is the missing link ?
I get a connection and all the folders that show up are empty. The folder names, however, are correct.

This means that you have to edit the connection and put in your log in information

Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good app for sharing files (apks, pics, videos etc) between android devices? Cheers.

I'm curious about this one too. I have been using Hoccer, but it is soooo slow. It takes like 2 minutes to transfer a 12MB file. The only other one that I know of is Bluetooth file transfer, not sure how fast it is though. I would assume it's faster than Hoccer.

Tried that but it isn't great for apps that you want to share that aren't on the market where I just want to send my friend or mrs an apk.
Astro file manager with the Bluetooth module is pretty handy for sending pretty anything

root explorer and EStrong File manager "Send" via Bluetooth also works great

You can send non-market apk's. It just has to be installed on your phone first, it picks from the list of installed apps on your phone
If you're both on wifi you could try ftp. One of you starts a ftp server and the other connects.
That will be a lot faster than bluetooth.
Sugarsync or Dropbox. Same acct. SS allows you to sync folders on your sd card.

That's what I do, I can also share with non-Android devices this way (and computers). I have SwiFTP on my Nexus as a server, and use AndFTP as a client (or even the browser).
Soft Data Cable from the Market is an awesome app to wirelessly tether your phone to your computer without mounting the SD card to the Computer. It's simple and easy to use and makes a great way to get rid of tethering to transfer, music, movies, files, or anything else you need to get back and forth. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the FTP address for one click access on the computer as well as the phone!
Ill give it a try.

...but it isn't compatible with wifi tethering apps (which is my only source of internet).

tried it out and works great. you can even browse in the root directory if you enable that option. my only problem was finding it in the market because it is listed as software data cable.
Sorry to bump, does this require, and will it work on a Transform?

Hey, I don't know if any of you use airdroid to sync files via wifi, but I downloaded it because wifi file transfer quit working for me. However, this doesnt work either. My browser will say can't to server (have tried multiple browsers). I emailed support, but was wondering if any of you had some insight?
Adfree or adaway wouldn't effect this would they?
Thanks
AirDroid worked fine for me using the default port (and Chrome) . It's possible (and, I think, likely) that your router settings are blocking it in some way. Check those settings or change the port AirDroid uses.
Silly Question: Phone is connected to same wifi network and not using data connection, right?
I've also used File Expert's FTP share to transfer files a good bit. It works well and has an FTP client built-in so you can share between phones too.

I've been using samba filesharing without any issues from stock through revolt and now ginger 1.3. Definitely give it a shot.

Using bluetooth, I was able to transfer files between a TP and my phone but could not transfer files between my two TPs.
Any idea?
Thank you

Do they even see eachother?
I was able to pair them but can't send file.

Have you tried in webOS? I think it has something to do with the bluetooth address (not bluetooth name). They are the same in all the touchpads so although you can 'pair' it, they do not communicate with each other.
Here is my two touchpads (32Gb and 16Gb), same BT Address in Status.
I can't send OR receive anything with my touchpad via Bluetooth. It pairs just fine with my PC and other devices but unable to send or receive

you can't send files natively between Androids using Bluetooth. only contacts
Just use an app that supports obex ftp and obex opp. I like es file explorer. It's the shizznit.

I don't understand where you got this idea that you cannot transfer files over bt between two android devices. I move files back and forth between different android devices all the time. Here are some screenshots of the asus tf101 and the touchpad transferring files back and forth over a bluetooth connection.
What's the best/easiest way to access the Kindle from a PC wirelessly?...I read something online about using the Samba app, and having an Android device show up as a storage device in Windows Explorer, but after installing and running Samba on my rooted Kindle, it wasn't showing up anywhere on my PC...anyone using Samba successfully?
The WiFi File Transfer app works fine, but looking for something that will allow drag/drop from Win Explorer
Try
AirDroid

I use Wi-Fi explorer from the app store it basically makes your kindle run an http server with upload download rights

I successfully used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba when developing Kinology after I got tired of constantly plugging and unplugging. It's finicky and slow, but it does work.

so how did you set up Samba?...i installed the app, but what do i do to access the Kindle on the PC?
Es file explorer has no problems connecting to a pc. With airdroid you do things from the pc.
