[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
ROOTed device is REQUIRED !

This guide only discuss about filesharing not streaming media !

ANY DAMAGE FOR IMPROPER USAGE OF THIS GUIDE

IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY !!​

1. INTRODUCTION

I found many people having trouble using Kies or just wanna transfer files between devices.

The solution is Bluetooth or Network Filesharing.

I will only discuss about Network Filesharing as Bluetooth is very slow.

In this Guide I will use my Galaxy Note 10.1 as my main device & the other device is for supporting only.

Network Filesharing has many protocol,but IMHO SSH protocol is the best for transferring files over network.

I use SMB (or many call it SAMBA) protocol for comparison only as it's not secure.

Samba is easier to configure, but now setting a SSH daemon in Android is much more easier than before :D

SSH

Secure SHell, similar with Powershell or cmd in Ms. Win environment but its more powerfull.

In Linux environment it's Linux console as Android is a Linux descendant.

Becarefull using SSH/SFTP,do not alter or delete anything you don't understand as it may harm your device(s).

SFTP = SSH File Transfer Protocol

Another advantage using SSH (not SFTP) is you can fully control your device but I won't discuss it here.

So I use SSH / SFTP (FTP is not recommended) connection to transfer files between my devices (PC,Laptop,HTC Sensation & Galaxy Note 10.1).

2. PREPARATIONS

Make sure your device is Rooted or this guide won't work !

Instruction / Guide / tutorial on how to Root your device can be found here, here and here

Then Install the required Application on each devices

PC & Laptop

For Ms. Win:

AnyClient (this is a SSH/SFTP Client only)

Any other SSH/SFTP Client will works

For Linux (I use Linux Mint Nadia)

It's already built in on it's file manager (any linux natively support SSH/SFTP client)

HTC Sensation 4G

I use Samba Filesharing.

It's FREE on Google Play

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

I use DigiSSHD and DigiControl.

DigiControl is only to control DigiSSHD and the real deal is DigiSSHD,but somewhat DigiControl is required.

It's also FREE on Google Play

3. SETTING UP

Setting up SSH/SFTP Server on your Android (Yes you are setting up a SERVER on your Galaxy Note 10.1 :p)

Open DigiSSHD

Make sure default user [android] is checked and don't check/uncheck anything else.

You can change network port value for better security,but make sure you don't use reserved ports (better leave it alone if you don't know anything about reserved ports).

Make sure authentication mode is single user for better security.

Tap on manage user

Tap on android

If you see nothing after Tapping on android try tapping on the arrow icon on the bottom left

Set the password,it's the 3rd row below android and variable location

Back

Tap on the OFF button to turn it ON.

Now go to INFORMATION

Take a note of your IP address.

You are done setting your SSH/SFTP server on your Galaxy Note 10.1 :good:

Setting up client on your other device

The Client side is far easier, just use any android file explorer with SFTP capability and use any SSH/SFTP client for Windows PC.

Linux user is far easier as Linux has built in SSH/SFTP client capability:)

For this Guide I will use ES File Explorer on my HTC Sensation (Android):

Open ES File Explorer

Tap on menu

Tap on Show Tabs

Tap on FTP

Tap on menu again

Tap on New

Choose SFTP

Fill in any required information according to your previous Server settings.

Voila! you are done setting up your Android SSH/SFTP client.

Now you can transfer/edit/delete your files wirelessly :good:
