Connecting Smartphone To Wi-Fi Network???

[sataguler]

Can I reach to the files of my notebook with Wi-Fi smartphone in my wireless area? I want to perform a network between my smartphone and notebook with Wi-Fi network. Is it possible?

No on smartphone you cannot access files that are on your notebook.

Try a VNC (easy).

Start with something like this: TightVNC (free) as a server on your notebook and .Net VNC Viewer (free) as a client on your phone; read and play.

There is lag time in rendering on the little screen; not to mention that it's a little screen (you might tire of looking at it and/or navigating).

Another good client is VNC+; it worked best for me among the clients that I tried but there is a cost.

You will be able to access your notebook via any Wi-Fi connection provided that your server is running and connected to the internet.


Good Luck.

FTP is a good solution too.
Install a FTP server (I use free GuildFTPd (http://www.guildftpd.com/)) on your laptop, and create a user with access to all drives or folders of interest. Make sure that no acces from the internet is possible if not neede for security reasons. Use a strong password.

Use Resco Explorer (http://www.resco.net/smartphone/explorer/default.asp) or Total Commander (http://ghisler.com/smartphone.htm) as client. This way you can download or upload files from your laptop.
