Ftp and tree view

Butiliero · Post by *Butiliero » 2006-07-28, 07:51 UTC

First I have to say compliments, great tool for wm smartphones! Thanks to it I got access to my network drive via wifi (and ftp...), which I really needed!

I would like to signal that the ftp folder is not shown in tree view, for example if you want to copy a file from the device to an ftp folder. (I use 2.5b2 and WM5)

Anyway, it works perfectly if you enter "\\\ftp\...\" in the dialog box.

I have a question, is there any chance to have a network browser in future versions? I have a home network with a network drive (which luckily enough support ftp server functions) and I would like to have direct acces, but it seems impossible in WM5 (it may be an ActiveSync limitation... )

Thanks
Buti

Unfortunately plugins aren't currently supported in tree view, sorry. Copy+paste should work with ftp, though.

Indeed this isn't possible - Windows Mobile doesn't have the functions needed for a network browser, and ActiveSync doesn't route the necessary TCP and UDP packets.
