I would use OpenSSH.. you need to learn how it works though. But it is exelent for doing this kind of things.

Answer: Yes you can.

Your second question: How?

Our Answer: From where to where... what OS (assuming you are talking about a computer)

When ask ask a question always provide the available information regarding this question.

i don't know any of it for computer. as all of them. as program has to know to whom to connect and what to share. so it would be server on one side and slient on other(ftp, samba e.g.) but u can think about p2p realization i think as wel

Install OpenSSH as AlMehdi said, then assuming your PC is Windows based and you want to transfer between you PC and your phone install WinSCP
The beauty of WinSCP and OpenSSH is that you have full access to the entrie phone, so be careful as you will have root access.
Your documents storage on your phone is:
/home/user/MyDocs

or you could use dropbox, with dropn900 app installed on the phone

It's a bit of a hassle to have to edit the config file & restart the server every time your IP address changes though.

It depends which way you want to do the copying. If your using the networked device to do it then the aforementioned ways are probably the best - TinySMB at the forefront for those using a gui to do the copying.

If you want to use the n900 to do the copying then my preference is to use Wizard-mounter to mount the network pc share on your n900 and then use filebox or the filemanager to copy files accross.

Set your phone's IP address on your router to always give it a static IP adress.

If I'm on my router, I use SCP, UPnP or even NFS to copy.

TinySMB's advantage is that it lets you easily share files on someone else's Windows network without installing any software or touching their router.


(also, my idiot Linksys WRT54GL can't allocate a static IP address via DHCP, but that's another story)

Seen this? http://www.dd-wrt.com/ - it rocks :)

Re: Is there an app for transfering files over my wireless internet?
 
Btw.
I like tinysmb but i have problems with it

-I seems to disconnect itself from time to time (middle of transfer or just before connecting)
-Transfer speed is slower compared to SSH
-To connect from win 7 64-bit I have to use IP address of N900. N900 is shown in network but if i click it nothing happens. By using \\ipaddressofn900 to explorer address field it works.

Actually this is why I sometimes would like to PAY for apps so that I can demand one click functionality without tweaking and reporting bugs :)

Re: Is there an app for transfering files over my wireless internet?
 
I tried TinySmb and everytime i try to copy a file from my computer (windows 7) to my phone i get the message: "To many files currently in use. Quit one or more programs, and then try again". It transfers the file but its 0kb, no data is actually there.

I dont have the file open or anything. Neve see this message before. It does it with any type of file i try.

Agreed, Wizard-mounter + a filemanager works well.

You'll need to write a shell script to mount with custom ports numbers, e.g. using ssh tunnels.

Install Personal IP Address so that you can see the phone's IP address on it
Install tinysmb & start it
If using Windows, open Windows Explorer & type //(ip address shown on your phone) in the address bar

The directory you have set up to share in tinysmb will then show up in Windows Explorer.

run a local FTP server on your desktop?

Re: Is there an app for transfering files over my wireless internet?
 
Has anybody an idea how to mount a tinysmb share in Ubuntu?
I see the files in Nautilus in "smb://192.168.2.100/mydocs/"
But I'm to stupid to mount the share.
I tried e.g.
Code:
# sudo smbmount //192.168.2.100/MyDocs /media/n900a
and get
Code:
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
or
Code:
sudo mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.2.100/MyDocs /media/n900a
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
What's wrong? Any logs where should I look?

In ubuntu or other gnome based desktops you can just go to the places menu, choose connect to server and enter your details under 'windows share'. when you choose to add a bookmark, your n900 will be accessible trough the places menu. It's mounted in /home/username/.gvfs if i'm correct.

Thanks dekkelkamp, it works! I can use this as workaround.
