I've installed and used server apps on multiple Android devices, without any trouble... including my Galaxy S4 (Verizon).
Now, I'm trying to use one again, but it doesn't allow remote connections... in this case a simple FTP app, one I've used several times before.
I have a regular FTP client on my phone, and it can connect to the server app using both the WiFi address and the localhost address.
But when I try to access my phone via FTP from another computer, it times out and fails.
I've tried a few other server apps, and they behave the same way. I can connect from a client app installed on the phone, but not from another device.
Ok.. so let's have some info...rooted? Build base? Rom?....too hard to guess what you have.

Sorry about that...
Yes, rooted.
Most bloatware frozen via Titanium. Stock ROM otherwise.
FTP client app is FolderSync.
I have used this specific FTP server app on this phone before without problem.
It's like a firewall has been turned on, except that I haven't installed one.

I'm on MJ7.
There have been no updates to the phone since the last time I used this FTPd app (that I am aware of).
I tried installing Android Firewall, and specifically allowing the FTPd app thru the firewall... with same results (client on phone works, client on PC doesn't).

Does anyone have the stock usb/ wifi tether apk that comes with the stock 2.2 froyo upgrade for vibrant?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I believe its built into the settings.apk
I'm curious as to why you need it. If you're still running 2.1, I recommend upgrading to 2.2, it's been a daily driver for me since jk2. Or if you don't, there is a mod for mobile ap to allow for wifi tether, but not the usb internet sharing.

my 2.2 from team whiskey comes with mobile ap for wireless , and has a setting to share internet using usb also... if you dont want to update, download an app called pdanet
You can also use the Android Wifi tether app but you phone must be rooted.

I'm using Bionix-V but cannot find an app related to wifi and wireless tethering nor do I see any options under "Wireless and network." Consequently have been using PdaNet. Am I missing out on a simpler approach?
It's in settings -> wireless and network where it's always been.
Its called mobile ap

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I was looking under Settings|Wireless and network|tethering and also perhaps under applications! Couldn't find the darn thing anywhere! But now I see it under Settings|Wireless and network|Mobile AP. One of the great things about Android is all the flexibility. Unfortunately, it is also real easy to miss something!
Thanks again....

I too thank you. I didn't even know that was there.
I can't figure out how to get free tethering on the new update, the only program I see on tb is TetheringProvision 1.05.09 and freezing/uninstalling it just makes the screen go black when I try to turn on portable hotspot. Thanks a bunch!
Hit the Play Store and download FoxFi (free app). Will provide the same functionality without the crashing.

I downloaded ES File Explorer and it works great. However when Im away from my Wifi I would still like to connect to my home network using 4g if need be. I do not want to use Dropbox, All share but would like to somehow use ES File Explorer with the FTP option. Are there any recommendations you guys have or any apps?
Try smart ftp I'm sure it's still free or better yet what version of windows are you running u could just enable iis

That's what vpn is for.
Many routers support Vpn Server capabilities out of the box. And even if yours does not, there is a high chance DD-Wrt can run on it.
Alternativerly you'd need to keep your computer running with a vpn-server on it.

My router doesn't support it, but I can get DD-WRT on it. However I will be getting better router soon (Asus RT-n66u) which should have it on there. Thanks for the help guys.
Also is there a app you can get to control your PS3 from your phone using bluetooth?
Hey all, I have been looking everywhere for an app or method to remotely transfer files to AND from my android device from my pc, without the restriction of having to be on my local network wifi. I'm beginning to think there may not be one available, although I can't see why not.
Any Ideas?
If all you need is file transfering, try an FTP server.

Dropbox?
Pocketcloud, or teamviewer used with dropbox can accomplish this. Remote access your pc, copy file to dropbox, and download to sd card. A little tedious, but works for me.

Those all sound like they need WiFi, sounds like he's look to use Bluetooth? I mean you got to use something.
Agreed that dropbox or similar cloud storage may be your best bet. Just set up the desktop client to sync to a folder on your computer, and to go back to your phone, you can use a program like Dropsync, which offers two way syncing between phone and dropbox.

I vpn into my work network and then use es file explorer to get the files I need.

I wish somebody could get sshdroid or quicksshd to work over 3G or 4G, but I don't know enough about VZs network. If that works for somebody, then let me know.
One could use Tasker to maintain a VPN connection. I use VPNRoot.
Team viewer now can control droid remotely.
A phone as a PPTP server would be ultimate.

Hi Guys,
I am using SGS3(GT-I9300) with Android 4.3. Rooted it about 2 weeks back using Kingoroot. I installed Faceniff 2.4 and activated the app but unfortunately it was not able to fetch anything. I tired with stealth, ssl strip both on and off but nothing happened. I was reading on google and people have claimed that after rooting with kingoroot this app has indeed worked. The phone and the pc with facebook logged in were on the same wifi. So, what am I doing wrong here?
Thanks
Any help guys?
Bump.
