Suggestions/Apps for direct access to my network without Wifi - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded ES File Explorer and it works great. However when Im away from my Wifi I would still like to connect to my home network using 4g if need be. I do not want to use Dropbox, All share but would like to somehow use ES File Explorer with the FTP option. Are there any recommendations you guys have or any apps?

Try smart ftp I'm sure it's still free or better yet what version of windows are you running u could just enable iis

That's what vpn is for.
Many routers support Vpn Server capabilities out of the box. And even if yours does not, there is a high chance DD-Wrt can run on it.
Alternativerly you'd need to keep your computer running with a vpn-server on it.

My router doesn't support it, but I can get DD-WRT on it. However I will be getting better router soon (Asus RT-n66u) which should have it on there. Thanks for the help guys.
Also is there a app you can get to control your PS3 from your phone using bluetooth?

Try a combination of ES or File Expert with SwiFTP (Mobile FTP server). All are free on the market.

You can set a hotspot from the first phone and connect the other to it.

its ad hoc connection it doesnt need internet connection we can transfer and take the as we do in bluetooth sharing
The application which is required is wifi file explorer pro....
(i am attaching that below)
you have to connect your mobile through wifi connectivity than to run this software,
than open the web browser and feed the local address as given by the application thats it.............
you have access over your phone sd card via pc through wifi....

WiFi Proxy

Hi does anyone know any way to use a proxy with WiFi for work etc. ?
Sent from my LT26i using xda
if you mean exposing a wired ethernet inernet connection(at office etc) through your laptop to wifi for tablets etc to connect and you have in intel wifi card supporting it, you could do intel My wifi feature. i have it on my Samsung core i7 laptop. it works flawless!

Sorry I don't think I was explicit enough.
I really ment there isn't any proxy setting in the WiFi menu and was wondering if there was a way to input the proxy settings so that I can uee the WiFi at work.
Thanks

Gingerbread doesnt have a proxy feature. You can use Opera Mobile to browse(did that in college) but apps still wont work.
There are apps that can proxify things, but they require root which was an issue at the time for me.
Ok thanks I'll use that for the meantime
What apps would you recommend if I was to root my device?

the ICS update should fix it as on ARC/One X official ICS ROMs we can manually define proxy servers when u add wifi connection
Ok thanks guys, I've just rooted it so I'll try autoproxy. Can't wait for ICS though

VPN Cisco app -- any suggestion ?

I would like to know if you have experience with VPN Cisco with IPSec Shared key. I tried few of them but none of them seem to work. I have the configuration correct and tried with my Ipad VPN with no issues. I greatly appreciate your help.

[Q] Remote File Transfer App?

Hey all, I have been looking everywhere for an app or method to remotely transfer files to AND from my android device from my pc, without the restriction of having to be on my local network wifi. I'm beginning to think there may not be one available, although I can't see why not.
Any Ideas?
If all you need is file transfering, try an FTP server.

Dropbox?
Pocketcloud, or teamviewer used with dropbox can accomplish this. Remote access your pc, copy file to dropbox, and download to sd card. A little tedious, but works for me.

Those all sound like they need WiFi, sounds like he's look to use Bluetooth? I mean you got to use something.
Agreed that dropbox or similar cloud storage may be your best bet. Just set up the desktop client to sync to a folder on your computer, and to go back to your phone, you can use a program like Dropsync, which offers two way syncing between phone and dropbox.

I wish somebody could get sshdroid or quicksshd to work over 3G or 4G, but I don't know enough about VZs network. If that works for somebody, then let me know.
One could use Tasker to maintain a VPN connection. I use VPNRoot.
Team viewer now can control droid remotely.
A phone as a PPTP server would be ultimate.

[Q] Sharing computer internet connection with phone...

Hey guys, I need to pick your collective brains. I had an HTC a while back and when I connected it to my computer it gave me an option to "share computer internet connection with phone" and I'm needing this in my life at the moment... Essentially I am unable to connect to the WiFi network nearby with my phone but apparently my laptop's Wi-Fi radio is bigger (and stronger) and able to establish a connection. I know it's archaic but I'd like to share that connection with my cell phone. Is anyone aware of an app that can do this or a way to work this out? I also have a tablet I'd like to do this with as well. Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can create a pc to pc wireless connection. But you need 2 wireless connections on your computer ,i do this all the time at work where you cant get wifi only wired. Basic it will just set your pc as a access point . check out winodws share internet connection
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda premium
It depends on what items you have... Do you have a router?? If so, do the following:
Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections.
Right-click the connection that you want to share, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the Sharing tab, and then select the Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection check box.
Once this is done, hook up your wireless router to your PC, and go ahead and set it up. Choose an SSID that is unique and not a cloned name of the connection you just shared. Once this is done, connect all your wireless devices to the newly set up router. The PC will read these connections, and port them through your WiFi that you are connected to.
