looking for a FXP app for android, specifically FXP allows transfer from FTP server to FTP server without passing through the local client... i use FXP to transfer media files while at work and out and about...
if any of the paid apps support this let me know and i'll buy it.. if not then cani get a dev interested in writing something up for me (for compensation of course)
Do you have SSH capability to a remote *nix server, at home or work? When I need to do things like this I SSH into my home Debian server and use a CLI client like lftp.
SSH to freeNAS, runs on freeBSD... no *nix

Hi - Is anyone aware of an Android app that will allow you to access your Windows Media Player library over the internet?
I can access it in the house using 2player.. but what would be really cool would be able to access my media over the internet from a friends house, or even at work..
Or do I need to install a third party app on my PC at home too? (I'd rather not do that unless it's the only option... and if it is the only option.. which one is the best one to choose?)
Thanks.
you can use any app that supports DLNA can connect to Media Player
All the ones I've tried only work locally.. Ie. Within range of my home wifi network... I want one that will work from anywhere...?

Yes, it is possible using a VPN (Virtual Private Network)
A VPN binds your home network and your XPERIA X10i into one single LAN (192.168.1.0/24)
This means any services available to you on your home LAN is available to you on your XPERIA X10i anywhere in the world as long as your phone has an Internet connection.
You could look at setting up a PPTP server in your home network as a first step, but it is the least secure.
An OpenVPN server would be better and more secure.
HOWEVER, it can become VERY complex if you've never done this before and things don't fall into place the first time.
A visit to SmallNetBuilder or a Windows PC forum could provide additional information.
And if you do embark on setting up PPTP, one piece of advise, don't forget Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunneling protocol
The following config setup just pulled randomly from the web may provide a basic starter to get PPTP server up and running on a Windows 7 PC.
How to Set Up PPTP VPN Server in Windows 7
However I'd suggest for best practice you should use a dedicated VPN Server/router to provide a VPN PPTP server, as it's always up and provides added benefits for security, given PPTP is not the best VPN solution.
PPTP client is built into the Android OS and can be found in the VPN settings.
A better solution is to use OpenVPN and OpenVPN on a rooted XPERIA X10i.
You need a tun.ko module in the ROM/build when using OpenVPN client on Android.
Hello
I have just bought a Samsung Ace connected to the British 'Virgin Media' network.
At home I have a small network of two computers (Windows 7 Home premium) and an Iomega NAS device. One computer and the NAS device are wired to the router while one computer is wireless (Laptop).
I can also connect to my NAS via friends computers over the internet. Nothing exciting there as both Windows and Iomega make it quite idiot proof for me to achieve this.
My question is, can I connect my Samsung Ace to my network and share files with my Window's 7 computers and my NAS device?
Cheers
You can try to use some app for samba sharing, like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=lysesoft.andsmb and connect to your local NAS.
I used to have a NAS server based on FreeNAS and this app worked for me.
Also, try an FTP client if you prefer. I'm hoping to get my QNAP turbo NAS soon!

Sorry to be a nusence, but I'm a bit of a thickie. I've used Samba before when connecting a Linux operating system to my Windows computer with some success because everything was done for me.
I would like to mention that my version of Galaxy Ace comes with an app called AllShare which gives me limited access to shared folders on both my NAS box and my other two computers. I do not input any information yet I can gain limited access to my data.
At the moment when I install and run Ambsmb I am presented with a lot of questions and I do not know where to find the information. To an experienced network administrator these questions are a no brainer but to me, I'm confused.
What makes it all the more harder is that my NAS runs its own version of Linux, which I have never so far been able to connect with when using a Linux distro such as Mint or Ubuntu.
The questions that I am asked are:
Host name
user name
password
domain
Port
WINS srv
Bdcast address
LMHosts
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

I'm using ubuntu, you need to know the NAS IP address (or router IP) then use it to connect to server (you must choose the windows shares option) ubuntu then asks for username and password automatically, and its about the same with AndSMB, fill in the IP address, username and password, that's all.
Dont forget smb kernel module on your ace. Afaik stock rom kernel doesnt contain smb module.

Is there any apps out there for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that work like Motocast or Zumocast? I've got the remote desktop app Splashtop setup, but was wondering if there is a simpler app that allowed you to access files on my work computer via the web?
Check out Ubuntu One, works with windows.

So, you just want to access files from your work computer on your tab? If that's all, most file managers are able to access shared files over LAN/WAN (I use it all the time for music/pictures/stuff computer).
Teamviewer is just another remote desktop app. Ubuntu one is just a cloud service. And I need to access my files anywhere, not just when i'm on a LAN/wan. The problem with a cloud service is th I have thousands pdf's, spreadsheets, and photos on my workstation and uploading them all a cloud and them having to keep updating that cloud daily is not feasible.
Motocast works flawless in that anywhere you have web access you can access a PC that is on and running the client in the background. Just wondering if there is an app like that that works for the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1...
You could set a FTP server (I recommend SFTP for security) on your workstation and use an app like AndFTP.
try Pocket Cloud
Dropbox is simplest solution. Put your files in Dropbox and they are everywhere.

Just thought I'd mention, WAN is wide area network (aka internet), not WLAN (wireless LAN).
So using shares (or FTP/SFTP) you can easily access all your files, you can even mount them so that tab sees them as "local" (useful for quite some apps that don't support network shares).

You 'just' create a folder and 'just' drop your files there. How hard is that? Dropbox is not something physical that you have to do anything to it daily. Their is no hard labor involved. You definitely need paid service for thousands and thousands of your files. Just like that.

Another option that helped me was pocketcloud explore. Because you have the pocketCloud remote desktop but this is a separate app that will let you just access, view, and download all your files. It's 1 of the closest things motocast I could find.
is there an app out there that lets you remote into your computer and transfer files over? i've used teamviewer in the past for just remote connection , but it has stopped working for me. it may be a firewall issue or something i just haven't found yet but i wanted to see what others where using.
I use POCKETCLOUD for RDP / VNC.

If you are just after files then consider setting up an FTP server.
Proxying isn't necessary if you intend to authenticate directly with the FTP server but I have my server only respond to internal addresses and therefore have to tunnel in and then proxy the requests through the tunnel.
To accomplish this I setup a proxy on the phone (proxydroid) a ssh tunnel (connectbot) and a ftp client (andftp). I'd like to find a client that has its own socks5 proxy so I would not have to use proxydroid.
thanks i'll try out the pocket cloud one. i don't have the knowledge to set up an ftp server. actually now that i think about it i don't really need to transfer any files anyway. but being able to kick off downloads on my desktop was nice to have when i had it working. thanks guys.
I paid for the Splashtop app. I like it so far. I am able to use the native screen resolution on my pc and everything seems to work fine. Give it a try.
I second Splashtop if you are looking for a remote desktop app. The only thing is right now they are moving to Splashtop 2 and last I checked the android app for it isn't out yet but Everything still works.

Just been wondering, cause I've tried it before but with no success, is it possible to create a virtual private network between your home computer/wlan to your android phone?
The main reason I would be interested in doing this is to possibly access my media collection on my home laptop via the HTC media player's ability to stream from a shared computer on the same wireless network, or to use splashtop2 vnc to access my actual computer from a remote location.
Has anyone tried this? With something like Hamachi ?

How would I go about using OpenVPN with Hamachi? I could use "Private Tunnel" but it only allows 100mb with a free account :/
Add me, please, to the list of those who'd love your experience. My prior employer used a Cisco VPN client which I could never get working properly. Now, my needs are exactly those of the OPer. I have Win7 at home, on a PC running all the time, and I'd love to link my DNA.
So, any insight based on your experience would be great. Thanks!
OpenVPN Windows 7 Android Config
I've been coding for eight hours today, so I'll try to explain as much as possible tonight and will continue tomorrow if need be...
1. So obviously you need a static IP, if you don't have one yet set one up with no-ip or change-ip or whatever you prefer
2. Download and install this straight to C:\ directory.... trust me it is just easier this way:http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe <--- This is an older version but I've found it to be most stable
3.Create a simple text file in the config folder of the OpenVPN server eg. C:\OpenVPN\config
and paste this into it:
## server.ovpn ##
port 1194 # This is the standard openVPN port, you may change it just make sure open it up in you firewall and forward the port
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key # This file should be kept secret
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 #If you use this IP, your host machine will take the virtual IP of 10.20.1.1
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.20.0.1" #change these to match your setup
push "dhcp-option WINS 10.20.0.1" #this too
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
max-clients 3 # The maximum number of concurrently connected clients we want to allow.
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
4.save that text file with an .opvn extension
Sorry guys I'm done for the night... I'll try to help you out some more tomorrow.
