I have the sprint touch pro and want to know if their is an app that allows my phone to act as a FTP Server? I would like to use my evdo IP address for people to connect to. Any suggestions or apps that you've used would be great! Thanks! On another note...too bad they don't have any peer 2 peer apps that are updated for windows mobile.

How would you deal with the DNS issue? I would think your IP address would change if you rebooted your phone? Too bad there is nothing like the DYNDNS IP updater for Windows Mobile.

that's true...the ip address constantly changes. i primarily use it to send cab files, etc. to my bro and cousins. i first browse to the file i want using opera mobile...and then copy and paste the link, and send them the link via sms.

they never pay attention to the ip address. just happy to receive the link, and the file.

I think FileZilla is the best for you . Because this software is good and easy to upload a file try it.

The dns issues can easily be overcome using dyndns.org. I havn't found a decent update client so I wrote one with mortscript if you want it. Another option could be the "mobile web server" i saw in the ppckitchen recently... it has a dyndns function built-in, and for simply sharing the odd file would be fine.

OK, that sounds really cool. Where can we get your DYNDNS updater?

thanks

Well I went ahead and wrote a little launcher for the ftp server. Assumes you have it installed on storage card but you can change the path easy enough.

REMOVE the .TXT extension, then change [YOURHOST] and save onto the phone.. ie - hostname=myphone.dyndns.org

The 1st time you run this IE will ask for your dyndns username/password, make sure you save them. From then on it will auto authenticate then launch the ftpserver.

Can't find a way to make mortscript authenticate by itself so thats why ie has to be launched instead.

Code:

Run( "\Windows\iexplore.exe", "http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=[YOURHOST]" )
Sleep(3000)
Run( "\Storage Card\Program Files\Communication\ftp server\mftpd.exe")
Exit

***Remember to remove the .TXT
