total commander is an easy way to access shares from a pda
but of cause the pda have to be a valid user to the share like any other
computer trying to access a shared storage

You can also install an ftp server like Mocha ftp. After you have started the ftp server, you can use your favourite ftp client on the PC to access the files on the PPC - no need to poke/type on the PPC all the time if you're in front of a PC already.

Resco File Explorer! It's Shareware - but works very well...
You see windows-shares-NAMES, no IP!

Mocha ftp is a free download from http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm. You can find the license key just below the download button.

Once you have started the Mocha ftp server you should set a username and password in File -> Settings and then click on the Start button. The IP Address of the PPC is displayed on the status page of Mocha ftp server.

Now you should be able to use ftp://username:your_password@ip_address from your desktop, or the command line ftp client, or any other ftp client.

Hmm, I just tried ftp://username:your_password@ip_address from Windows Explorer and it did not work :-(

I don't know a good Windows ftp client, because I don't use Windows normally. Maybe someone else can help there.

how can i find my pc and ppc 's IP ?

Start - Settings - connections - WLAN - 2nd tab you see your ip, but switch your wlan on.

Or use LANview, there you see all ip's in the network

Hi Boys .... I thank all your efforts for my problem .... TNX
I downloaded ( SmartFTP ) ftp client for windows and i tried to connect to my phone but it says :
[19:15:57] Resolving host name "169.254.26.25"
[19:15:57] Connecting to 169.254.26.25 Port: 21
[19:15:26] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[19:15:27] Connect failed. Waiting to retry (30s)...
[19:15:27] Client closed the connection.

I Don't know what to do . HELP ME PLZZZZZZZ !!!!!!

Just to make sure: is 169.254.26.25 the same IP address you see in Mocha ftp server? And you clicked on "Start" in Mocha ftp server, so you see "State: online"?

If yes, it is possible that the Mocha ftp server is not compatible with SmartFTP (although it should work, but it did not work for me with Windows Explorer or KDE konqueror).

yes it's all right . IP , Start , Online all is right .

I usually use hfs file server. Very simple and powerful but can not do folders. The best for files. Be anywhere with a wifi connect & download from your pc running hfs direct to your phone.
Mocha is nice too. Use Total commander's ftp abilities on your pc while mocha is running on your phone.
I will say for large files such as a 500+ mb avi, a card reader is faster.

his method works. im very grateful. i did have to tinker with it a lil bit, but once u find the my network tab and map it. i used my windows log in name and pw and bamm. now i can open all my shared files and copy stuff both ways on my entire network. i bought resco explorer 2 off of handango, but i guess u can use it free for trial somewhere. hopes this helps u out. im using a att fuze btw :D
