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.

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.
I have an Android tablet and my PC running Windows 7 Pro. I am using ES File Explorer on Android to see shared folders.
I added some folders to the Music/Picture/Video libraries and shared them in a homegroup. I tried to make the homegroup not need a password and it'll let me access my PC from my tablet and view the root folders but as soon as I tried to access a folder (Music) it'll say permissions aren't available. It will work if I set a password and login with my account.
The second issue is that I'm seeing folders that I don't want to see. I can see a ADMIN$ folder (which is C:\WINDOWS), C$, D$, E$ (the HDDs), IPC$, print$, User. As well as Music, Pictures, Videos from the library. The folders in bold aren't shared so I don't know why I'm seeing them.
The last issue is that a folder (a whole drive actually) isn't being shared. I included the whole E: Drive in the Videos folder but it won't show up in the Video folder from the tablet. However if I include a folder from within the E: Drive then it will show up. Can I not include the root of a drive in a library? I mean it works on the PC.
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,
I have a JioFi dongle with a 64Gb micro sd in it, to facilitate local wifi storage. The difficulty I face is that, i cant seem to get a seamless synchronization with the data stored in the dongle.
Earlier I used to have ES file explorer and I used to set it up along with my pc within a LAN network so that I could easily share files wirelessly by simply setting permissions for the folder to be shared.
But now I've moved to the open source world, and I could hardly find an alternative to make it possible with my WiFi dongle. Syncthing did cross my mind, but it needs the recipient device to have that installed as well (which is not possible since in this case the device is a dongle).
Eventually, i have to use a browser and share the files through it, with every time logging in as admin. That is tiresome.
So, any possible method I could implement here ? I only need a file explorer like experience so as to easily stay in sync with the data stored in it.
TL;Dr - Any method by which I could sync and access the local data stored in a portable wifi storage, perhaps a file explorer (preferably open source) ?
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.
