transfering files over wifi.

[mightycaz]

Does anyone know of a program that can do this? There is one for the iphone called "air sharing" my boss uses it, its pretty handy since i always forget to bring a mini usb cable into work with me and the one i keep in work always goes missing for days at a time.

If anyone can make something like this or knows of anything already out there id appreciate it very much.

^Thanks

You could always run a ftp server on your phone like mochaftp (which is freeware).

Another way, which requires no extra software, is bluetooth ftp, and that integrates well with vista desktops/ laptops.

2 words for you My friend:
Total Commander.

It has a build in LAN explorer(pluginns) that deeply browses you network. Plus you get all the goodys such as cut, paste, move and full access to files over your LAN.

It does work better and faster than the fruitphone crap, and its free.;)

I use Resco Explorer (prefer it to total commander - but it isnt free)

lets you map permanent connections to a network share. and they can be made available to other apps on the phone too.

Resco Explorer has network and file sharing capabilities

Sorry for borrowing you thread but what about some software that works the other way around? I mean like enabling Wifi on your diamond and then you could access it from your laptop like ad-hoc and then see the files on the diamond from your laptop?

Using Resco or total commander lets him grab desktop files FROM his device, but wont let him easily transfer files TO the device, unlike Airshare.

In fact, to read a network share from your smartphone you dont need any 3rd party software at all. Just go to PIE and type in file://<networkname>/

e.g. file://mydesktop/

in the address bar, and you will be browsing your network shared folders.
