Android app to transfer files from OSX Lion via AFP? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a 7 inch tablet running ICS 4.0.3.
I am unable to find an app to transfer files between my mac & the android tablet using AFP protocol.
Can someone recommend an app for this purpose?

I ended up using FTP server, but the downside is OSX cannot edit a FTP disk by default (and on El Capitan there is no third party system hack that does the job anyways).

[Q] Accessing home network

Hi guys,
I would like to access some shared files with my SGS2 in my home network through wifi. So i first looked up for some information. I installed the ES File Explorer and configured a folder on my harddisk to be shared.
Once i opened ES File Explorer, i thried to add a new server. So i filled in my ip-address and my username and password from the computer. But ESFE wasn't able to connect to it.
So i went looking on the internet for some information, and what i learned from it was that it worked through a smb connection, but i don't have any clue how to let it work.
Could anyone explain me how to set up such an smb connection and what are the different steps so that i can access the shared files on my computer with my SGS2.
Thx for the help.
Hi, depends on what operating system you use on the computer.
If your running windows make sure you have file and print sharing enabled in networking, and a shared folder. Appart from that smb is running.
Make sure when you connect your connecting to the shared folder as some file managers wont connect to just the pc.
If your runnin mac os or linux itl take some config so youl have to look that up.
Hope that helps!

I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise edition 64 bit. File and print sharing is enabled.
I turned Windows Firewall off and instead i'm using the AVG firewall. Do I have to configure something in the firewall options?
I installed Astro File Manager and the SMB file module.
I had no problem accessing the windows shares on my local network - just entered IP address, share name, user name and password and it connected straight away.
Ok i found the (provisional) solution for my problem.
It worked to connect when i turned of the AVG firewall, so probably i have to configure something into AVG.
Yeah firewalls tend to like blocking smb. Somewhere you should be able to allow either port 445 or smb or file sharing in AVG not used it so i dont know where but it will be there! Glad you found a solution.

I use mountain lion GM and its working perfect, only the las t version from KIES is not working. Try to uninstall completely and install again.
If you guys is in a LAN environment you can try using mac fusion and a ssh server on your sgs3.
Download a ssh server like ( SSHDroidPro) on the play market.
Download mac fusion for your mac (http://macfusionapp.org/)
Then you can mount your sgs3's file partition as a volume on your mac. Works great for me .. as i no need to bring cables and the transfer is secure and easy.
I will chek it thanks

yes mountain lion gm here. not sure what is causing it yet.
Parallel desktop can see it on a virtual XP, but driver says it didn't install it correctly, switching to camera mode 'work-ish' but files are missing when browsing folders.
on mac:
When turning on MTP - dmesg shows that it connects

[Q] Mount an FTP Server as a directory

Is it possible to mount a remote FTP server as a local directory on Android?

Download ES File Explorer from the Play store. It allows you to setup and access FTP servers.
premsrj, this is NOT what he wanted.
Example: The FTP server is on his computer, C:/Music.
He wants this folder to be mounted in /sdcard/FTPMusic on his Android device.
I want the same thing and I'm not sure how to do it. SMB would be nice as well.

Seems like FUSE is installed on CyanogenMod 10.1 - CurlFtpFS isn't: curlftpfs: not found.
I'm pretty new to linux file systems, any idea how to add it to android?
Haven't found any help on google.

I guess you'll have to port it to Android. Didn't see any ports neither, and only used myself in GNU/Linux environments.
Download it from sourceforge and try compiling it for Android.

[HOWTO] Access internal filesystem via ftp or mount to Windows?

Hi
Is that possible to mount root filesystem to Windows or access it via ftp protocol? (using whichever cable, WiFi or BlueTooth)
This had helped me too much. I'm having additional fonts and ringtones so I might easily update the phone content with my PC.
Try airdroid.

Does it support root access?
I have tried this long ago and I think it only supports access via web interface.
Yeah I found it in description
"Enjoy below features after installation from the comfort of your favorite web browser on Windows/Mac/Linux computer or other devices:"
I need it as ftp or mounted filesystem (eg. as network drove)
ur right,it it only supports access via web interface ...personally i use Samba Filesharing for Android ... this is by far the best way to access phone storage as i can mount sdcard as network drive....and it's free.have a look at it.

Yup I have this app installed but tho it asks for root access it never offers root filesystem only sdcard
Just a while ago I found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.ftpdroidpro
so does this app support root acess?
No, none is working for me (

How to transfer files to a X96 air from a W10 PC over wifi?

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here, I've been trying to get this working for a couple of days now...
I've installed File Manager + on the X96 and given it access to the attached USB drives. One drive is a 256gig stick and the other is a 4tb WD HD.
I've installed Cute FTP on the PC.
I launch FM+ on the X96 and start it's ftp and given it root access.
On the PC, Cute see's the X96 but only the internal storage not the attached drives? Both attached drives are attached at boot.
Am I using the wrong app on the box?
Can anyone suggest how I get the PC to see the attached drives?
Thanks.

Wifi share works like a dream, but I can't seem to connect to with an ftp client? It's not a problem, but would you happen to know why?
