I'm looking for an app that will allow me to remotely access WHS (windows home server) and allow me to manipulate files and folders. I know I can access my shares from ES File Explorer and I use that to copy files to and from my Android devices, but there are times I want to move/copy files from folder A to folder B on the WHS. The job needs to happen on the server and not on my android device, similar to the way utorrent remote apps work such as torrent fu and TorrentToise.
Is there an app that exist like this for android?
These are simple SMB shares (samba)

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.
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'm trying to find a good SMB client that can connect to my Win 2008r2 file server.
I've tried ES File Explorer and File Expert. I've gotten File Expert to see my network share but retreiving contents is beyond slow, and I gave up. File Explorer won't connect no matter what.
I'm a Windows admin in my other life so I'm well aware that Win 7 broke a lot of old (and new ) SMB clients, but I was hoping for some luck.
Until we have cifs module compile, you have to use ES File Explorer. Did you do a LAN scan in ES File Explorer? My Windows 7 shared folders shows up and I can access them.
Yes, ES sees my server but either login fails or else server not found. I don't have guest access enabled. I run a domain network at home -- and I well know that is the steepest hill for any cifs client.
What are your settings? It's OK if you fake the ip's. Just so I have boilerplate to make ES happy.
Hello,
I have a media player based on Android JB4.1. I would like to have the following functions:
1. I wanto it to send WOL command to my NAS during startup automatically, so I can watch the movie stored on NAS without manually turn on the NAS PC. Is there any script available to realize it? If yes, how to add the script to startup?
2. I wish to place a shortcut in home screen pointing to the shared folder on NAS so I can just open it and play media files in this folder. Now I have to use file manager, switch from local to LAN and open the share folder, which has too many steps.
Apprieciate for any detail suggestion.
Hi all,
I am looking for a solution to achieve the following, I have a NAS which does not in itself support encryption, I would like to encrypt all the file on it with some sort of application, and then use an explorer app on each android & Windows based device, which will allow me to decrypt the file upon me opening them, what's the best solution, if I was to encrypt the files via Windows with a software of some sort, is there an app for android which, once the decryption key is entered, allows you to browse the files as normal, I currently use solid explorer as a file explorer on my android devices and for NAS access, your help will be much appreciated
Thanks
Use 7zip what is available for both Android and Windows: It allows to encrypt and password-protect files & folders.
