Transfer files using wifi?

[volsmcfalls]

Can you transfer files between a computer and the Omnia using wifi? I don't have a bluetooth adapter and would like to transfer smaller files over wifi. Can someone tell me how to do this? I tried searching but didn't find anything. Thanks!

ur Active sync doesn't work??? or WMDC..?

I'm not sure how to do this cuz I never tried....but I will look into it...

Active Sync works with the usb cable, but i would like to be able to do it without it at times.

well I tried but my laptop cannot see my phone on the network...there may be some software that is needed for that...other then that bluetooth is the only way I know of to do this without activesync...

good luck!

I want to ask what exactly you meant about bluetooth? Do you mean activesync with a bluetooth connection or an FTP client or other?

I've been trying to find out how to replace the obexftp program that I believe came on my samsung i760. I took that sucker for granted back then. It would search for bluetooth devices, find my desktop, connect and allow me to copy files back and forth (that weren't huge).

ObexFTP seems to missing from the Omnia. I see its dll there but not an executable.

Am I missing something obvious the Omnia has for bluetooth FTP or do you use a 3rd party client? If so what?

I've used TotalCommander's ftp client but that uses the internet and only to real ftp servers instead of bluetooth.

So aren't we limited to using the device's My Documents as the sync directory in that case? I need more space than that. FTP would allow me to use the storage card.

I can see the device on the router but can not get access from my PC. I will dig more on this, there can be some decent conveniences if we can browse the Omnia from a PC while just attached to the router.

You can not sync or transfer files with Activesync and wireless. The ability to do this was removed by Microsoft as a security measure.

It might be possible with an adhoc type of setup though I don't know of anyone that has successfully done it.

i believe a google search should get it, i remember either someone in the comments talking about it or a thread where you can have your phone show up on the network and be able to access it. hmmm...if you set it up as a storage drive and share it...wouldnt that do it?
i dont have a network setup here no more to test it.
