Hello there,
i would like to acess my home network with my x10 mini. There is a connection to my wireless network and internet connection works fine, but I can´t acess my telephone via PC.
Is there any way to copy files from PC over WLAN to X10 mini?
Maybe any apps?
thanks
Yup, there are a few.
DavDrive sets up a webdav server on the phone - WinXP can connect to this (I'm not sure if it works on vista/win7) and you can browse your SD card and drag/drop files
Astro has a plugin that'll let you browse windows shares (so you can copy files from your PC directly from the phone)
ES File Explorer can handle windows shares directly, without needing a plugin.
Any others?

ES File Explorer has worked very well for me for browsing file shares.
I recommend using the WebSharing app for accessing your phone contents via browser through Wifi. Can copy, upload, download, move, delete, rename, etc all through your computer and it's VERY fast.

Can any tell me if their is an app. like Bluetooth File Transfer where it connects to your pc/mac but shows the computers files on the phone not like all the WIFI apps. I have found that you have to access via a website on your computer.
I want to be able to transfer my file to my computer and from my computer using the phone.
Is this not possible with WIFI???

You can try phone explorer (need desktop client too) or <web sharing> (search in the market)
the file sharing app can use your browser to log in to your device storage to upload and download through wifi, however free version can only download and upload one file at the time.
the phone explorer got more function, you can send SMS through it, mod your calender and contact and so on, can download and upload multiple file through wifi to your phone and vise versa.
i would recommend phone explorer, but it quite unstable when your wifi strength is not good or too much traffic on your wifi. So you can try to use web sharing as backup but the function will be very limited.
i use this it works pretty well.
Download "ES File Explorer" from market it works perfect. I'm using it and never failed...

Is there any way to browse and/or transfer files via wifi from a windows 7 pc to the G Tab. I am using File Expert to root browse, and it does have a tab for network drives. How do I get them connected. I have several drives on several machines on my network that are visible to each other.

If you use a custom kernel, and you add the cifs kernel module, then cifsmanger (in the app store) can mount shares.
Wifi File Explorer:

Simple, gets the job done
You could also use Samba to make your G-tab a network share on your computer. That is what I do and when I need to access the g-tab, I just open my network on my Windows 7 computer and it is just like any other network share. You can't access the external sdcard (sdcard2). This will not allow you to access the root of your g-tab but I find that that is a good thing... can't delete system stuff that way!

EStrongs File Explorer (Free on the Market).
From your GTAB you can connect to your Wi-Fi LAN to Browse directories, Copy, Move, Edit files, Folders etcc.. that are shared or visible on your network.
It even supports Bluetooth and FTP protocals.
Drawback.
Even though you can see network files from your PC via your GTAB you wont be able to see files and folders that are on your GTAB via your PC on the network.
There is a method for that capability but I've yet to tinker with it since the blog I found it on is from November 2010.

I have a few USB problems with the charger that came with my X10 mini pro... in other words the usb lead is faulty...
What apps is there to transfer files onto my sd card via wifi? or even LAN ?
MyPhoneExplorer
I use MyPhoneExplorer.
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
It does what you want, via WiFi and also bluetooth. It also has a lot of other useful functions (sideload apps, backup and send SMS, backup phone, etc.) I've been using it since my first SE phone.
Any other suggestions?
adb Wireless.
just run "adb push "path to file or folder" "location to store on phone, unix style."
Or you could try QuickSSHD and a SFTP client like Filezilla.

sooooorrrrryyyyyyy
I'm using FileExpert from market.
It creates FTP server and you can transfer files.

im recommending Websharing. But you must have a wifi router .
ETS file explorer does the same. It also has media player, photo viewer and file explorer.
+1 for that
just install samba file sharing, samba its the file sharing protocol of windows dor unix, you can drop files from any computer to your phone using the lan or ip through inet, the icon is a S its on the market i think, PD: your OS must be rooted!
I recomend using Samba fileshring
Its pretty AWESOME!

Samba Filesharing allows you to mount the SD Card as a network share.
I use es fie explorer to connect to shared drives on my home pc on my G2 running CM7 without issues. However using the same program for my TP2 I can't connect. I've tried other file explorers as well all with the same result. Has anyone had any success connecting to smb shares? If yes, can you share your setup? Thanks in advance.

I have used ES File Explorer and Astro to connect to Windows SMB shares. I do not know of any special setup though? With ES File Explorer I just have it scan my network for shares and then pick the PC that has the shares I want. With Astro I have to specify the IP address of the PC that I want to connect to, but that is only a one time deal.
Try AndSMB. It works for me, while I cannot connect using ES File explorer.

Thanks for your replies, guys. Today's update of es file explorer fixed my issues.
I'm trying to connect my TF101 to a V-Gear Landisk (SMB share) on my network.
I can connect with my PC (on the same wired network), and see the top-level MUSIC folder and many sub-folders.
I have tried ES File Explorer, CifsManager, Mount Manager, and AndSMB with essentially the same results:
I can connect and see the top-level MUSIC folder, but when I open it, I don't see any sub-folders.
In some cases, I get error messages such as "path doesn't exist" or "timeout"; sometimes I just see an empty folder.
Can anyone help me get this working?
Thanks,
Eric
I've installed ftp server ultimate on my SE x10mp.
I've transferred a few file by ftp from my machine (running linux debian) to the mobile. Everything seemed ok, except that after a while the file disappeared.
I've ftped to the mobile with nautilus. Do I need to "cleanly" close the ftp connection on nautilus to avoid this issue? or is there something else going on?
TIA

Disappearing from your Android device, I assume. I'd guess you FTP your file to the device and then try using it as a media file, but can't find it. This is because the Android Media Scanner have not found it (yet), since it is only executing each time the phone starts, and each time it remounts the SDcard, and this is never performed using FTP. Initiate the Media Scanner manually, using some app from Google Play. There are a few of them, myself I'm using Rescan Media.
tnx, but I'll rephrase my question:
1. I ftped from the pc to the phone. (using nautilus on debian)
2. I transfered files to the SD card
3. I can see the files on the mobile (via Astro filemanager)
4. I didnt close the ftp connection on nautilus
5. at some point, the files are gone. I cant find the on the sdcard, even after reboot.
looks like they've been erased or something.
any suggestions?
TIA

Not closing the FTP control channel from Nautilus would not cause this. The file is still closed properly after the transfer is finished. You have to look in some other direction. Broken FTP server, broken file system, broken SDcard, or more likely, something completely different.
