Access PPC from PC via WIFI

[eltrot1979]

Hi,

Is it possible for my WM6.1 device to join my LAN Workgroup such that I can view the files on my PPC from my desktop computer and drag and drop files over to the PPC via WIFI? Kind of like using the PPC as a NAS device?

Thanks in advance

To my knowledge no. i believe that microsoft stopped allowing that feature within active sync quite awhile ago, but what i have managed to do is to create a computer to computer network (ad-hoc) where my PDA was the access point and my laptop could then connect to that.

I could transfer files using explorer on my phone to access my network drives on the laptop, then copy and paste from there, but i could not find my phone on the laptop due to it not having shared folders to my knowledge.

The things i would like to achieve is shared internet over wifi by using the phone as an access point and to figure out how to access files on phone on the laptop. Not the other way round.

When i created this computer to computer network i thought that if i had 3G connected it would automatically pick up the connection on the laptop but i was wrong.

Which means i am no expert on the matter, but im sure there is a way

the same rules goes for pda's on the same net as for other computers
if they got the correct rights to access shared dirs
it can access them and map them if one use programs like total commander
and know a bit about network in generals not really that user friendly i guess

It can be done, I use a program called WMFTP. Google it.

Some of it i get but others bits i dont. Like is it possible to set sharing rights to directory's on the phone? If that is possible great.

Also how do you find out the device name or would you have to use the ip address for mapping those directory's?

I have a touch diamond and would love to map the internal storage on my network, but have failed at that.

Still not figured how to share the internet connection of the phone over wifi either
