This is probably a n00b question (which is appropriate since I'm a n00b . . .) but I have a home server running Win7. All my movies and photos and music are on it. I have no problems using USB to transfer media to my Streak (and to my awesome, dirt cheap Chinese tablet), but it would be great to be able to just connect to my network shares and copy the files over the WiFi. Is there an Android app that can do this? Paid apps OK.
If you just want to copy the files you can use ES File Explorer, SwiFTP, AndFTP, or you can turn your phone into a Samba server and mount your SD Card as a network share and use windows explorer to copy to your phone.
ES Explorer worked great getting to FTP server. Getting to a LAN computer required me to enter the LAN IP address as a "server" and also woked fine.

Hello All,
I have Samsung Galaxy S2, my wife has HTC One X and we have two laptops (windows 7) in our house.
Is there any way to stream and share videos, photos and other files seamlessly in our home over wifi? Is there any app for it? I am looking for something by which we can access files on our android phones and PCs using phones or PCs and view, play them.
Thanks in advance.
Kies Air.

Download the free app "Airdroid" from the market, it's easy to use
and it is exactly what you are asking about.
With this app you can have up to 4 pc to phone connections at the
same time. You can share videos/watch videos/pictures and slide
shows from android cell phones to pc.
Its also a file manager like windows explorer.
Here is the link to it so you can check it out.

Good luck!
Isn't Airdroid can be accessed only from web browser? (I am not sure, I will check it out). Thanks for the suggestion.
And can I use kies air on HTC One X too? I need some kind of consistency between all equipment.
Thanks for suggestions.

So you want to control a android torrent client from another android device?
I'm gonna do some research, but I know that utorrent offers a remote service where you can control a pc from anywhere in the world with little to no firewall/ router configuration....it used a middle man server.
I suppose if there is a client that offers a webui, you could copy/save a shortcut that went to the webui URL button that executed the command of choice.
But I've never even heard of a android seed box before.
I think bit torrent on market does.. the paid version though
Not 100 on that

Hello,
I have the same scenario and I am also looking for a torrent client on android which can be managed by web or by another android remote torrent client.
I think the only possible solution is to port transmission.

Been using this for years... probably the most used app on my phone,
http://www.transdroid.org/
It works with most major clients and is pretty damn handy.
ARRRR!!! Piracy!!!

I have the same question as you i wonder if you have found a solution. I have seen that µtorrent beta now exist for android. Moreover they released the remote torrent but as far as i can see this is only for the pc/mac version of µtorrent
Same problem here.
I hope they add that option to the utorrent client on android.
Now you can just take over android with webkey (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey&feature=search_result)
or airdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

A bit late, but I use dropbox and dropsync
So dropsync autmatically syncs a folder from dropbox to your local storage
With ttorrent you can then auto load this folder to download the torrent
nah I haven't found and android solution. .. What I did was I bought a mini pc ,hook that up to the TV and basically use that as my torrent box
Would have been sweeter to use a Android stick for it but I could not find solution

I wish to find a soilutin to for that.
Here is my scenario. I have a old smartphone with Android, what I want to use for downloading torrents. I wish to have access remotely to add torrent files and take the final downloads in my computer. I figure it out how to do it with BitTorrent Sync... I add the torrent and I take the final downloads in my computer and with tTorrent I download the files (he can automatically scan a folder for torrent files). Theoretically everything is perfect and need to work, but... BitTorrent Sync don't synchronized the files in real time. Sometimes he start to do that after 6 or 24 hours... randomly. Somebody knows another solution to do that...?

Im using tTorrent autoload function /Folder
And im syncing via GoogleDrive app - Autosync for Google Drive.- sync each 5m
So if i add to the Google Drive folder some .torrent files - autosync copy it over to Android/Folder - tTorrent load it and remove it from folder.
That the best way ive found so far , newest version 1.3.0 of tTorrent has also WebUI control, but on each torrent i tried to download or autoload i got :INVALID error. So ive moved back to 1.2.4
Hi,
I don't see the remote option in tTorrent, is-it in pro version ?
Thanks for the Drive sync idea, I'll try that for now.

yeah pro version...
but even aTorrent has very similar functions, u might want to try that one...
Ive tied like 10 clients but those 2 were the best so far...
Thanks,
I'm using the lite tTorrent with remote access.
For now it's not protected, but I've change the default port waiting this security...
I'm using Transdrone from my Note 3 to access it and it's very nice to download automatically from my Android TV Box and play it directly with XBMC when i'm at home !
Got it working with:
tTorrent on the nexus player
Transdroid on the phone
I have a shared folder on a windows 8 machine.
When transferring to other windows machines the files transfer at 3MB/s but to my android devices (note 2 and note 10.1) the transfer speed is 30KB/s i.e.100x slower
The windows share is open to all devices on the network and there is no password protection. The app I'm using is es file explorer.
Interestingly when trying astro it cannot find the windows share.
I am using wifi on my PCs as well as phone/tablet.
I have tried asking in windows 8 forums but I haven't had any luck, I am sure the problem must be with either my windows 8 share or maybe my router but I've run out of things to try and maybe somewhere here will have come across this problem.
hello to all. please, is there a software native for sync and connect with wifi the mate 10 pro? if is there, what is its name? thanks
Depends what you want to sync. MyphoneExplorer is free and works fine on Windows 10 for me. ApowerManager and Airdroid also work well on Wifi and have free options - I'm currently using Airdroid Premium because I like the extra features.
