So to be clear, the following does happen:

- When you add a server, fill in a name and press the back key a popup asks whether you want to save it.

- When you click yes you get back to the start screen and no server is listed?

Could you try going to the settings page of the app and check the option to save the server settings to the sdcard. Does that work?

And did you ever have problems with other apps?

I'm actually more thick than that … I think it is probably working just fine, I'm just not sure what to do with it! Say I now have somehost.no-ip.org and it's updating from the ddns... (according to the website it is updating fine, shows the same ip the app does ) what do I do next?

I tried connecting to somehost.no-ip.org:21 but I think it's probably not as simple as that... do I need to set something up at no-ip? Or in the phone?

DISREGARD ALL OF THAT!!

I really am super DUPER thick, I had disabled the firewall rule on my router, it really IS that simple and it's working fine!

Great to hear it's working! So what servers are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] curious_yellow_eyes:
Just ftp at the moment , but when I get paid and can buy the full app I will build/host a web page too , as a learning experience.

I'm actually using the ftp server running in both my phones , to move files between them and the laptop . Since my newest phone is a Galaxy Nexus and MTP only , its a godsend to be able to switch the server on and just browse it as a network folder.

530 Login Error on FTP from Servers Ultimate

So I have my webDAV server happily running but like all geeks I am not satisfied with using one ability, I want more. I set up an FTP server from the device to transfer files from my computer to it over WiFi. I use my WiFi IP(prefaced by ftp) and the port number to connect to the server and it of course asks me to authenticate. I have chosen the password myself, so I type what I picked. It throws a 530 login error on both Windows and Linux operating systems. I have changed the password three times, all to ones I can remember, and it still throws this error. Are there password restrictions on FTP servers?
[Android Apps and Games] curious_yellow_eyes:
Have you tried it without login? If it works there then you know it's something to do with passwords.

sent from "parts unknown" with my Paranoid GNex
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
As curious_yellow_eyes mentions, just try it without users. Do you have a password with spaces at the beginning or end? That could be a problem. Or just try a simple username and password.

Let me know!

@curious_yellow_eyes So is everything working ok? Your MAC doesn't change, so that's not a problem :)

how to add ftp server

how to add ftp server please help i am understanding how to do this
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
You should be able to press the plus sign in the app, select FTP Server, fill in a name, port and add a user. After that press back and save, and select the server to start it.

Does that work?
[Android Apps and Games] reddragon72:
Ok I'm grabbing the pro version finally. I want to do more than just the FTP but have a question.

I am going to run the webDAV as well as FTP and HTTP. I am running the WebDAV because I want to publish a calendar to it and then link that to multiple places.

So the big Q is what cal server should I use, meaning.... I see ubuntu, debian, and the sorts. I am new to all this and know just a tad of HTML, just enough to put up a picture site, but this is all new and seems kinda off. The calendar "software" is Radicale. I am not exclusive to them they just popped up first.

Thanks for any help.

UPDATE: strike this I got it all sorted out. LOL super easy!!

Great app with a lot of features! The only feature I would really like to have is the option to run a VPN server with this app. I would like to run a VPN server on a low cost Android device (cheap phone or raspberry PI) to be able to connect to my home network from anywhere.

I know this has been asked by somebody in this thread in august. I guess running a VPN server on Android is really complex, or even impossible...
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Great to hear the app is working great for most people. Reviews on Play are appreciated :)

@chielmi, unfortunately it's really hard to create a vpn server in java, so that might take a while. However, you can use the socks or proxy server to internet through your phone. Just set the socks/proxy address on the computer and start the socks/proxy on your phone :)

Feedback is welcome!

I too am having an issue the dlna server part on my S3 and my Samsung TV. The Samsung tv app (AllShare Play) does see the server. however, the error (Request cannot be completed. Media Play will be return to the main screen).

The error occurs when trying to access the server.

My Galaxy 10.1 goes little further and the tv can see the folder but doesn't show anything inside. For the test, I just had mp3s inside.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I myself also have a samsung TV and it works perfectly. This could be the problem:

- Does your S3 have the original rom and a good internet connection? And on the same network as the TV?

On your TV you can select Video, Music or Image folders. If you select for example the Image type only image files will show and the rest of the file types will be hidden by the TV. So try to select the Music folder and let me know whether it shows.

which server and player

Hi there, I am total noob when it comes to servers and would like some advice if someone can provide it. I dont know if my problem is with this app or it is hardware limitation of my device-galaxy note. I setup web server and was trying to play some movies I have on my mobile on my laptop. It did play but it wont allow me to fast forward or rewind. I try with mediaplayer and vlc player and it is same with both. I will get android mini pc in a week or two-it is on his way from china-and will use it as a torrent rig so I dont have to run my laptop 24/7. Also would like to run server on it so I can watch downloaded movies on my laptop or phone and would like to be able to fast forward or rewind. Right now I am sharing some movies on my laptop via windows share and I can play them on my phone and also I can fast forward or rewind with no problem using MX media player. So I would like to be able to do it from my android pc the same way I do it now. If you can help me I will appreciate it and sorry for long post and my english, it is not my native language, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] MysticElf:
Upgraded to newest Verizon update. Server show up on the tv so they are on the same network. Both have an excellent connection and it's a given that if you click on music that only music should be displayed on the tv.

Selecting music for it to display mp3s. Does not display mp3s.

Nothing in the Music directory is displayed (both mp3s and sub directories).

The server is set for mnt/sdcard/music and yes there are mp3s and subdirectories.

Try again :P
[Android Apps and Games] MysticElf:
Side note: Would like to see if the app could check for root status and if found, would allow creation of default ports instead of having to use higher ports and use a seperate app to redirect. Of course, if root is not available or denied, higher ports and the seperate app would be the only option. Either set to automatically check or if the app had a section under settings that would have a check box asking the user if the device was rooted. The later option may work out a little better since a user who had not rooted their device could then root it and change the setting in the app at a later time. This way, the app would benefit both types of users and save rooted user some time.

Just an idea I figured I'd toss out there. :P
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
@samsungi5500 You can use the DLNA server or the WebDAV server. Unfortunately DLNA server does not support fast forward since that would be to much hard for an Android device

@MysticElf

- It's really weird, it works just fine here. Could you try selecting a folder with only 1 file? And on the settings page of the server could you try disabling/enabling the samsung tv option?

- About the root, good point, however if we implement it ourselves we would need to use the same way as Port Forwarder Ultimate does. And since Port Forwarder Ultimate sometimes gives errors on some devices it would be to much of a change that the app would crash if we would implement it automatically. Sorry, but we'll look into it :)

UPDATE COMING:

We're working on an update with 3 new servers:

- Torrent Tracker

- X11 Server

- CVS Server

However, they need to be tested so if you want to help and test the servers please PM me.

NOTE

The app has taken a lot of money and time, so I'm thinking about making it a trial since the income from the app is really low. But ideas for commercializing are welcome. And of course there will be a short period xda members can buy it and get a free refund.
[Android Apps and Games] MysticElf:
Just gave it a try with one file in a directory both with my SG10.1 and SGS3.

The tv showed the file and was able to stream to the tv on both devices. However, once another file was added... No files were displayed.

I made sure to shutdown the server before adding the second file to the directory incase the app doesnt rescan the directory until its restarted.

Also toggled the Samsung TV option but that didnt matter. Both with and without the option checked had the same results.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
Ok, did you try a full exit from the server, reboot and try again?

My apologies, it's just weird since I can't reproduce it.
[Android Apps and Games] MysticElf:
I loaded CyanogenMod 10 M2 on my S3, installed/setup the app and still have the same issue.

Let's compare...

AllShare Play

Size: 30.1Kb

Version: 1.000

To see this info on the TV...

Highlight the TV app (AllShare Play)

Click Tools button on the remote.

Highlight and click Information.

Prob not needed but tossed in anyway.

TV model: UN55ES6150F
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I'll have to test this, however that might take some time, my apologies. It might be fixed in the next update.

About the servers, there is good news!

A Samba server is now working!! However, at this moment it only works on Macs and some Android samba clients since it uses a port higher than 1024 (no root). But we'll might implement a fix for rooted phones.

So as an update:

Torrent Tracker - working

X11 Server - working

CVS Server - working (only on arm devices)

VNC Server - in progress, not fully functional

Samba Server - in progress, working on non rooted devices

So help me if this list isn't complete enough. We're really looking into every server type now and I personally can't think of any other server.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
The following servers have just been uploaded to Play. Before they will be implemented in Servers Ultimate we will need some feedback.

Samba Server on Play

Works without root! If you do have root the app can automatically forward the correct ports so it works on Windows and Linux besides the Mac OS X on which is will always work.

Torrent Tracker on Play

CVS Server on Play

X11 Server on Play

Feedback is appreciated!

About 2gb+ files again. I tested it again. Your's DLNA server not view files more than 2gb. My system in ntfs, all other programs and my tv succefully viewed files more than 2gb. But when i use yours DLNA server app with my tv, i can't see it ((((.

And i have good new ideas for you.

I have torrent client app on my android device. And ultimate server app too. I download via torrent client new videos, and than i see it on my tv with dlna server from your app. But new videos only work if i restart dlna server.

Can your make a new app, who can restart servers remotely..??..

Because i use all this apps on MK802 android device, and it device work 24/7 with my tv in my home, and i not a always at home )))). And i need restart dlna server, and only them it work with new videos. But i want restart it remotely with my android phone )))

Im trying to run an email server to receive an email from microsoft to a email service that doesnt exist anymore. To recover my gamertag I need to get the email that is sent to ....@jackpot.com That domain is in use right now, is there any way to use this app to intercept that email?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
No. You would need to set something up on the server that receives emails for jackpot.com. It's possible to fake which domain you're sending something from, but receiving is an entirely different matter.

Think of it like ordinary surface mail. When you send something you can put whatever you like on the back of the envelope as the sender, but whatever the address on the front of the envelope is, that's where it gets delivered. You have to either pick it up from that address, or set up a redirection at the post office. And to do the equivalent of setting up a redirection, you need to be in control of the domain.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
We're working on that. We implemented a fileobserver which would listen for changes, and if found load that file. However, Android doesn't support sub directories for a fileobserver.. so we have to think of something else. Maybe set a timer to restart every xx minutes?

And did anyone try the new servers? Feedback is appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] Cka3o4nuk666:

WebDAV server problem

I've tested WebDAV server but it's very slow. At first, I thought it was client side problem. Then I used another app (WebDAV Server: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.webdavserver ). It's definitely faster. I wonder what's the different between two servers?

I also use FTP server and it's pretty fast.

A little feature request: long click a server to start/stop it.

Thanks for developing this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Themuzz:
I know you gave the idea :) Thanks! Just didn't have time to implement it yet. But the problem with the auto restart is that you might be viewing a movie and the dlna server restarts..

About the 2gb, as mentioned before, that's an android bug not in our app.

The slow webdav is kind of weird. Could you try a reinstall and reboot of your device and give both a try again? Because our app and the one you mention both use a java based webdav server, so they should have the same speed. But we might have a small bug in our code that makes it slower. Could you maybe try disabling the logging option and see whether that helps?

About the feature request for long click, good idea! We might implement it. We want to release a new version at the end of this year or beginning of next year with even more server!

More feedback is of course appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] Cka3o4nuk666:
And that is why I offer you a little to make a separate application to remotely reboot servers ))
[Android Apps and Games] bytewalker:
I've disabled logging, reinstalled and rebooted. Here's the result:

Cyberduck, BitKinex as clients: no speed difference comparing to the other WebDAV server.:good:

Windwos 7 Explorer, NetDrive mapped as drive: still very slow.:confused:

I only compared browsing speed (e.g. go up/down directory tree, list folder with many files).

Useless on Milestone

I was hoping to use this server on my Milestone for simple SSH and leave it at home. Unfortunately, it's too unstable to be usable at all. App crashes when I try to scp a simple pdf file. App crashes occasionally, even if I try to browse ( I started SSH and HTTPS ). It did not reappeared, which makes it really, really, not for the task. Maybe it's memory related, I don't know, but Milestone is really empty, nothing else running, so I don't know - at lease some message should be there.

SMS Error Messages?

The SMS server is working well for me on my Galaxy Nexus. I'm wondering, however, what happens if there is an error sending the SMS on the device. Does the SMS server show a different message than "The SMS has been sent!" If so, what message does it show, and how can I test it?

"Wol server"

Hey

I just discovered this wonderful app - awesome job - just need to test it on some older devices, and if it runs, I am definately buying it.

One of the scenarios I would love to be able to use my old device for, is a "WOL-box".

I would like to leave my computer off at home, and have the android device on my Wifi at home with appropriate NAT. Then I would like to be able to login to it and make it send a WOL request on my LAN.

It could look something like the SMS http interface. I think it would require two textboxes (MAC and port) and an implementation of Magic Packets. A more advanced version could also implement an SMS listener (similar to the SMS Server), where it was possible to SMS the device, and based on content, it could send the magic packet(for instance: "WOL E0-04-E2-B9-CC-09:9").

If feasible, I would like to be able to "consume" the SMS server as a webservice. And it would be nice to be able to pull delivery reports(if device is configured for it - carrier dependent).

I apologize if some of this has already been covered, but I believe to read the thread in it's entirety.

Thank you for a really cool app

@Cka3o4nuk666

I know, but that's quite hard to implement, it's still on the todo list though.. Sorry :)

@bytewalker

Thanks for the feedback! It turns out that windows explorer if requesting information of every folder in the list as well so it gets slow. We will be able to fix it in the update. Btw, other webdav android apps work fast using windows explorer?

@tuavitxinh

How would you imagine that would work? Your android device can't print right? Could you describe a possible setting?

@kkazakov

That's weird, it works really stable here (never really had a crash). However, on some devices the memory management might be different (as you said). Could you let me know what android version and device you have?

@rcauvin

If an sms can't be send (for example a wrong formatted number) you would see an error in the log. However, the server doesn't verify whether a number exists and the sms is delivered, it just sends to the number and when the number exists the sms is send. Does that help?

@jon-b

That's a good idea, however, it's not really a server. It's more like a tool or a feature for the http server :) We might implement it sometime, but probably not in the next update.

Thanks for all the feedback and more ideas are of course welcome!

SMS Server

Great app but is it possible in reality to connect a USB drive to ANY cell phone? Mine is a Huawei Ideos 8150 and only has one USB connection which is used for the power charger.

Also, is it possible to send completely anonymous, untraceable SMS using the SMS Server connected through a public wifi?

Thanks

Peter Wills
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
1. No, the phone has to support USB OTG. Many phones only have the USB port that you plug the charger into, but with a special USB OTG cable, you can plug ordinary USB devices into it anyway. Obviously charging the phone at the same time is a challenge (some devices it can be done with another special adaptor, called a Y cable, but that's another story and requires a custom kernel), but MOST new phones can do it.

2. No. The SMS server sends messages out over your mobile connection, NOT your wifi connection.
[Android Apps and Games] rcauvin:
SMS Error Messages?

When I send a text message manually (not using SMS Server) on my phone, there is status indicator next to the message that indicates it is sending. If it's successfully sent, the indicator then shows the time it was sent. If it's not successfully sent (e.g. because my data connection went dead while I was in the elevator), then it shows a not sent indication.

So, I do know it can't verify that the message was delivered successfully and received by the intended recipient. However, what happens with SMS Server when the phone "knows" it didn't deliver message, as when it shows me the indicator that the message wasn't sent?

Instead of a message in the logs, it would be nice if the server returned an error on the web page result.

I've discover this app yesterday and i've some questions.

I've ordered an android tv dongle MK808. I want to replace my old mediapc under the tv (big,noisy...) but I also use this mediapc to bypass my work firewall by ssh , putty and firefox.

Could I do the same this the SSH server of this app?

And could I take control of this minipc remotely from inside and outside my home with this app? Which server should I use for that? No VNC server....

And want to share my media files with all the devices at home ( PCs,Iphone 3gs and Galaxy S3) Is DLNA the best way?

I used to use Samba on my old server , and file sharing on the actual that runs on W7.

Themuzz, I have a problem with the ftp server. My setup is using an archos tablet I had lying around as a server, the archos is great for this as it has hdmi and full size usb ports, however, every time I setup an ftp server it will assign an ip address (which I use for other devices to connect via). It works fine for a short period of time but then for some unknown reason it will reassign itself a different ip address or simply lock me out. I then have to delete the server and add it again, simply changing the ip address on the other devices doesnt work.

I have used the servers ultimate and the FTP Server app and both do it. Othe ftp server apps don't change the ip address, but they have nowhere near the functionality of server ultimate, like multi user access and limiting the folders they access etc.

Any help would be appreciated.
