Re: how to share files btw my phone and my laptop?

there are a # of ways. you can do wired where the computer accesses your internal mmc. unpluged, phone sees it; pluged, computer sees it. You can do it wirelessly between the 2 by sending and recieving or having a shared folder on your laptop via bluetoth. you can connect wirelessly(phone)and wireless/ed(computer) by way of FTP. Finally, you can connect wirelessly(phone) and wire less/ed(laptop) by bittorrent, email, a 3rd party storage site, any P2P service. Hope I helped.

PS
I can tell you more about any one, like how and what

Re: how to share files btw my phone and my laptop?

depending on how much you like using the console, you can choose between ssh + rsync, try with the graphical interface of rsync (I saw something like this in app manager). or via usb.

further explanations:
ssh is secure shell. has the big advantage of being usable on almost everything except iphone, and gives you REAL power. after installing on n900 the package openssh (client or both is up to you. just remember that one of the two must run the server daemon). you can access the laptop from n900 by tiping:

Code:

$ ssh username@laptop

for coping files:

Code:

$ scp filetocopy username@laptop:~/pathtowhere

rsync is "oversimplyfiyng" a tool to automate the last command.
it work as: (from laptop to n900, run on n900.)

Code:

rsync -auvz --recursive user@LAPTOP:syncfolder/ syncfolderonn900/

Here I paste a little script that I use to sync between laptop & work, or n900 & laptop.. useful if you use static IPs.
should be run from home folder, and you must create syncfolder...

Code:

#! /bin/bash

#to copy data from n900 2 laptop and vice-versa

# usage: syncscript [source2dest] [secureunlocker]

# example: syncscript l2w go!



LAPTOP=127.0.0.1 # wrote here the ip of your laptop



# here there is the "secure": means that if you want to really sync, 

# you'll have to append "go!" to the command. This way is easier 

#not screw up all the sys. and check what's going to be synced 

#before is too late.



if echo "$2"|grep -q "go!"

then

SECURE=""

else 

SECURE="--dry-run"

fi



#here is the rsync command: n2l to sync from n900 to laptop

if   echo "$1"|grep -q "n2l"

    then

    rsync -auvz --recursive $SECURE user@LAPTOP:syncfolder/ syncfolder/



elif echo "$1"|grep -q "l2n"

    # Same as else if

    then

    #to copy data from laptop 2 work

   rsync -auvz --recursive $SECURE  syncfolder/ user@LAPTOP:syncfolder/

else

    echo "you must told me what you want to synchronize. n2l to copy from n900, or l2n to copy from laptop"

fi

Wireless what erniadeldesktop said, and search these forums for winscp
Bluetooth install petrovich

Re: how to share files btw my phone and my laptop?

You don't need Petrovich. PR 1.2 came with the ability to share files from your file manager.

For wireless there's several solutions. SSH, FTP, or if you have python installed (extremely likely if you installed an app from extras) then there are python scripts that let you download and upload from the device.

Firstly you have to have a bluetooth dongle (or inbuild bluetooth, usually this is the case in laptops). When that is in order you have to make your computer and N900 a pair (this process depeds from the OS you are using). After that you just have to open your filemanager and long press the file you want to share and select Share>Send trough Bluetooth and then select your computer from the list. When you want to send a file from your computer to your N900 just right-click the file from your computer and select Send>Bluetooth device (Windows). For help with other OS'es just ask.

In addition to what MiK546 said, if you want to send more than 1 file at a time then first navigate to the directory where your files are, click on the menu and click "Share", now you can select more than 1 file to send. Using bluetooth is ok for small files, say a few MBs, anything larger would be really tedious.

Bluetooth ~ 70KB/s
WiFi ~ 1 - 2MB/s

go to file manager → long press on file → share → bluetooth. or you can go to your computer and search for devices(turn on bluetooth on phone) and connect it, than search for browse device or something like that(not sure how it's called in windows and where is it, as i' linux user). than in data folder all the emmc data

Re: how to share files btw my phone and my laptop?

thanks at all of you,but i knew already this method,i want to know if it s possible to read a folder in my laptop because randomly the other day i connected my phone to my friend laptop and opening the file manager i saw his laptop . . than s way i m asking because i want to do the same with my laptop.

Re: how to share files btw my phone and my laptop?

why not use wizard mounter and mount a folder on ur laptop.
i use it and ubuntu and windows share mounts fine.
windows share is really slow in default file manager though for some reason but i use midnight commander to browse the network and works a treat.
