Normally the phone will cut off Wi-Fi when sleeping, Which might cause the file transferring to stop. Goto "Setting"-"WiFi settings"-"Menu"-"Advanced"-"WiFi sleep policy" to change this option to "Never" if you need transfer files when the phone is sleeping.

LAN Share:

  • On PC, most users can let it as default setting without any operation.
    In cases you have problems, make sure that you PC can be visited by other PCs in your local network(If not, examine the firewall settings),For windows, you need not set Samba(Windows supports SMB protocol inbuilt), but Microsoft network file and printer sharing should be open.
  • On Phone, follow the steps in the user manual. That is, jump to Remote Tab-->Add Menu-->Add a new Server-->input the computer's username and password
    When login, uncheck the anonymous box, input the admin username and password, then connect.

It's right ,this app needs a samba server if one wants to share PC files with the phone, but it's a built-in feature in Windows, so the user would just leave it as default, and doesn't need to care about it.

Yes, you need a way to connect with local network; normally wireless is the best choice.

  • Please make sure you follow the steps on the websites.
  • Please make sure your phone and your computer is in the same local network, and your computer has shared some files to visit.
  • You can visit the server through other pc in local networks. If it cannot connect successfully either, it might be the network problem (maybe firewall, user permission, etc.)

the reasons might be:

  • Firewall
  • Wrong Username or empty Password. (Your user name and password that you create in your G1 is the same as in your pc.)
  • SAMBA configuration on the PC is not correct, that means, you cannot visit PC files from other PCs in the same network.

Depends on computer system settings, anonymous user has different permissions, cannot view/can view but not move/... etc.

  • In the 3g network, if it can’t work, please try passive mode (change the property of the ftp).
