I have searched several times for this topic and also done some web searches to no avail. Is it possible to do a torrent download via wifi on an android device to a media server pluged in via usb to my wifi router. I am able to see and access the hd via root explore butvit doesnt come up as a permanent drive.
Thank you, mike

My WiFi router has a 32G flash drive plugged into its built-in USB port. All my Windows based PC's in my home, can access that flash drive as a network drive.
Is there any way that my Android devices (Droid 4, generic Allwinner tablet) can also access that drive? Of course, when they are connected up to my home's WiFi network.
I have been searching for such an app, unsuccessfully, though it is entirely possible that I am simply not using the correct terms when searching.
Just to add, both my devices are running ICS, and have been rooted (if that makes a difference for the answer).
You can use ES File Manager it allows for Samba / FTP file sharing it is a fairly strait forward app and you shouldn't have any difficulties using it.

Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
I have an android device with USB port. When i connect a USB drive to this port, I am able to access all the contents of the drive from my device.
Now I installed an FTP server app(actually tried a lot of them). With this ftp server app running on my android device as server, I try to browse the contents from my PC using FileZilla. I am able to browse sd-card of phone and even write on that using FileZIlla but I am only able to brose this usb drive and not able to write on it from any ftp client.
I have tried a lot of ftp server apps on android and few client app on my PC but all same to give me only read only access to the USB drive and not write access.
Is it even possible to get the write access to this usb drive connected to android device via ftp client(when my android is running ftp server)?
I want to connect my android mobile with my Pc so that i can use internet on my android v4.0.1 (Icecream Sandwich).

HI
I have a new Galaxy S5e tablet.
I have successfully made a connection via wifi to my PC using the microsoft shared app using my pc fixed ip address 192.168.1.100.
I have two other apps that both give the following error message when attempting to access my pc shared folders:
‘Connection failed with ‘Failed to connect: 0.0.0.0<00>/192.168.1.100’.Trying again.’
I have followed the instructions at:
"https://appuals"com/how-to-fix-the-windows-10-file-sharing-not-working-problem//how-to-fix-the-windows-10-file-sharing-not-working-problem/"
(remove the quotes change "com)
regarding my pc access, but I still get the error.
Does anyone know how what I need to do to connect to my pc shared folders via SMB?
Regards and thanks
I think that smb is off by default in win 10. Ensure it is on. You can check it via windows features in Progtams. Google smb windows 10 hot switch on and you will find plenty guides.
Both devices needs to be connected to the same wifi network.

SMB is definitely on.
Both devices are on the same wifi.
My pc does not have wifi but uses the router to connect.
I don't believe this is a problem with my wifi or pc or else Windows remote on my tablet wouldn't connect and work with my pc.
As it would appear no one has a clue where this code error comes from nor how to rectify it I have to assume Oreo is not fit for purpose.
