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.

Have you try TeamViewer. No issue with firewall

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.

can anyone tell me a app with which i can connect to the files that are on my file server
ES file explorer in android for example ... but webos?
thanks!
Interested in this as well..
if you know how to use ssh and sftp, that would be your best option, since there's an ssh server and sftp app in the preware app browser.
that preware app seems to have bricked my device :-( so first I have to fix that, but you are right, that was my first thought as well.... I will try that as soon as the device is fixed (long night :-( )
[Q] Network File Transfers
Anyone know an app or method for transferring files over to the Touchpad? The actual file, not just streaming video or whatnot. I picked up a touchstone, so it would be cool not to have to plug wires in... ever.
I'm a similar boat but would actually be ok with just the ability to stream media from a windows file share.
Closest I've found but haven't tested is the following:
ugh I can't post external links
do a google search for webos xorg and it should be the 3rd link down titled: IOBox - PC File Syncing (xorg tools) - WebOS Internals
from what I see it's just a way to create a mountpoint to a windows CIFS share. Would be nicer if something like android's file expert existed.
To have a simple network browser on the Touchpad would make it 10x more usable.
that is one of the things webos lacks of :/
i cant tell my girlfriend to ssh onto the homeserver just to watch a movie or pictures.
maybe some dev could make an ugly but working app for that
with preware you can use ssh and sftp for cli transfer.
but a network file browser would be alot nicer imho

No, but you could set it up for her on the tablet so she just has to launch it and then set up and sftp client on her computer such as filezilla. After that, it's just a matter of dragging and dropping files into filezilla.

If you have sshd on your tablet, you can easily use a gui client on your computer to connect to it like filezilla.
I was hoping there was a convenient app for us lazy people...
Ah well, it's something. Thanks.

Yep, nothing really out there until someone writes one for it
is there any news or ideas?...does any one know the devs of ES file explorer ... is there such a huge difference between web os and android ...
.. 10 dollars for such an app from me
(having that app - I would not need any android ...)
I use this:
http://www.precentral.net/tbtransfer
still in alpha but good enough for small files. Not recommended for files >100Mb as it takes much longer compared to usb cable.
perfect, thanks.
is that any unsecure, not beeing protected in any way?...
I think it only works with computers connected on the same router.

I understand you are looking for an app, but I installed the uberkernel which supports mounting of remote shares. There is a good how to if you look on google but basically you update your kernel to uberkernal or f15c, install Internalz from preware, add a line to the file /etc/fstab, and execute a mount -a command in a command line. Now I am able to browse my network share and copy files back and forth. The only problem I ran into was that I was trying to mount a sub folder of my shared folder but you can only mount the shared folder itself. I went crazy trying to figure that one out when it was actually rather obvious...
Wifi file transfer
Is there an app for touchpad like ES File Explorer where you can transfer files to your desktop/tablet wirelessly through a local wifi network?
I use wifi media sync works perfect for me.

Hi,
I'm looking for an app that is capable of controlling my computer using my mobile, but it is important that I will be able to transfer files to my phone using this app (for example, in case I left home but forgot to transfer file to my phone).
I prefer having efficient apps and having as less apps on my phone as possible, so if you know an app that is capable of doing these two things, and perhaps even more, that would be nice.
If not, I don't care to have two separate apps for that, one for remote controlling my computer and the second for remotely transferring files to my phone, though the first option would be better
Thank you.
Unified remote is brilliant. Not sure if do the file transfers. Airdroid is great but not sure if its good for what your asking, worth getting either way
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
Your title confused me a little. I though you wanted a remote app which functions as a mouse and keyboard. (RemoteDroid was what I was going to suggest).
But for remote control and viewing, Teamviewer does a pretty good job. It even allows you to log in from a web interface. Linux and Windows support. I'm not sure about transferring files but you can use dropbox and if you forget to put the file in the dropbox folder, use teamviewer to do so.
try jump to desktop for remote control. For file transfer you can use dropbox, copy-paste on the computer and it will sync to your device
As said Unified Remote is the best for using your Mobile as a keyboard and mouse for your PC.
It doesnt allow you to transfer files. You can use and Sync applications such a Box or Dropbox to do that.
Unified Remote allows you to browse your computer HDD, and allows you to play or run any software/ App/ Movie/ Video on your PC.
Thanks for your replies everyone.
Dropbox is indeed a creative way of transferring files, did not think of that, but still, isn't there an app that can do this?
And VicXxX, Unified remote is not good for me, this is an app that is used like a remote control (like in a TV), I need an app that allows me to remotely control my computer, from afar (when I'm not at home). By controlling my computer I mean, of course, do basic things like moving my mouse, open programs or web sites, etc.

So you want to control a android torrent client from another android device?
I'm gonna do some research, but I know that utorrent offers a remote service where you can control a pc from anywhere in the world with little to no firewall/ router configuration....it used a middle man server.
I suppose if there is a client that offers a webui, you could copy/save a shortcut that went to the webui URL button that executed the command of choice.
But I've never even heard of a android seed box before.
I think bit torrent on market does.. the paid version though
Not 100 on that

Hello,
I have the same scenario and I am also looking for a torrent client on android which can be managed by web or by another android remote torrent client.
I think the only possible solution is to port transmission.

I have the same question as you i wonder if you have found a solution. I have seen that µtorrent beta now exist for android. Moreover they released the remote torrent but as far as i can see this is only for the pc/mac version of µtorrent
Same problem here.
I hope they add that option to the utorrent client on android.
Now you can just take over android with webkey (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey&feature=search_result)
or airdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

A bit late, but I use dropbox and dropsync
So dropsync autmatically syncs a folder from dropbox to your local storage
With ttorrent you can then auto load this folder to download the torrent
nah I haven't found and android solution. .. What I did was I bought a mini pc ,hook that up to the TV and basically use that as my torrent box
Would have been sweeter to use a Android stick for it but I could not find solution

Here is my scenario. I have a old smartphone with Android, what I want to use for downloading torrents. I wish to have access remotely to add torrent files and take the final downloads in my computer. I figure it out how to do it with BitTorrent Sync... I add the torrent and I take the final downloads in my computer and with tTorrent I download the files (he can automatically scan a folder for torrent files). Theoretically everything is perfect and need to work, but... BitTorrent Sync don't synchronized the files in real time. Sometimes he start to do that after 6 or 24 hours... randomly. Somebody knows another solution to do that...?

Im using tTorrent autoload function /Folder
And im syncing via GoogleDrive app - Autosync for Google Drive.- sync each 5m
So if i add to the Google Drive folder some .torrent files - autosync copy it over to Android/Folder - tTorrent load it and remove it from folder.
That the best way ive found so far , newest version 1.3.0 of tTorrent has also WebUI control, but on each torrent i tried to download or autoload i got :INVALID error. So ive moved back to 1.2.4
Hi,
I don't see the remote option in tTorrent, is-it in pro version ?
Thanks for the Drive sync idea, I'll try that for now.

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.

Hi Everyone
Can anyone suggest a program that i can view ALL my phone folders from my pc via wifi.
Looking for an application like 'dropspot'.
i dont mind if the app connects via smb, ftp or http.
i would preferably like the app to be for non rooted phones (so my missus can use this as well).
So far, my search has ended with all applications just being able to browse the 'SDcard' folder.
i have tried 'Andreas Liebig' and 'The Olive Tree' ftp server programs but neither of them are as good as 'dropspot'
Can anyone suggest an alternative (free/paid) to 'dropspot'???
Thanks
try swift ftp or airdroid

A couple more to ponder over. There is Wifi File Explorer Pro and Wifi File Transfer Pro. You just need to enter a address in your pc browser to view your phones files. Already mentioned AirDroid is particularly good because it is free and does alot more.
Just to add, these are from the play store.
Thanks guys, Wifi File Explorer Pro and Wifi File Transfer Pro both did the job great
Also loving swift ftp!!!
Thanks for the suggestions
