yeah I know, since it is WPF based (same issue as picture gallery).

I will do something about that in version 1.8.

that's planned before version 2.0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
Thanks for this practical app.

My wish-list:

- move files between storage devices

- import/export registry from within device and PC.

THANKS!

I setup a PAN using Internet Sharing with my laptop. The BT address assigned to my laptop was 192.168.0.119. But when I opened WiFi Remote Access it was showing the USB address 10.77.65.237 and the BT address 192.168.0.1??. I gave 192.168.0.1 a shot and it worked :D.

Is there someway you can discern between the two connections, USB vs. BT, same as you do with WiFi, so the IP address is displayed properly. Probably not a big deal but it would clean things up.

See attached screenshot. And yes I did download the screenshot to my PC using your app over my BT connection. So cool :cool:.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
Any chance of providing option to download an entire Dir (recursively?)...currently I have to create zips of each dir which if the storage card is close to full can sometimes be complicated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
10.77.65.237 was not your USB IP address but probably your 3G ip address.

if you were also connected by USB, the IP address would not be visible since there is place for only 2 IP addresses on the screen...

anyway, not surprised that it works over a bluetooth PAN network, but glad to hear the confirmation about that, since I've never tried myself!

I will look what I can do about it...

yeah I know it's rather annoying, but I'm working on an FTP server for WIFI Remote Access. That will greatly improve the experience when dealing with multiple files!

I will release a beta within a week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Whoops! My bad. Forgot about those 10.X.X.X addresses. But I think you got my drift anyway. No USB connection at the time, just BT.

It's a bit more work to setup the BT connection (activating the PAN) but BT is always active on my device and I almost never have WiFi on, so it's about a draw. But for users with desktops that may not have access to WiFi, this (with a BT dongle) could be a simple solution. Just glad to have another option.

Thanks m8 for this great app.

Its work perfect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
Problems with the beta.

I installed the latest beta (1.7r1) and encountered a few errors you should be aware of....first some background...I tether my HD2 to my linux pc so activesync is NOT in use other than over the air....the phone has ip 192.168.0.1 and the pc has ip 192.168.0.102 via usb using the internet sharing app. Upon running your app and attempting to enable it I received a warning that no wifi or other connections were available.......however I was still able to continue. It would be nice if the app would remember prior approvals so I don't have to keep authorizing 192.168.0.102 to connect...I normally have to sit the phone high to get a good 3g connection and getting to it and pushing the button is convoluted. I wanted to use your remote access to control the phone but my mouse did not seem to be able to simulate a finger press..the screen showed the slide to unlock screen but I couldn't unlock it...I did this on the phone and went to main screen but again my mouse would not control anything on the phone.....I also note the beta says this is the "premium" version...it did not prompt me to uninstall the OLD version when installing it and initially gave me an error when running it...I had to install both the "premium" and the older version then do a clean install of the premium again. As a linux user I would LOVE to have a way to remote control the phone that uses IP and does NOT require activesync...thats something I'd be willing to pay for....are you planning on making some features only available to paying customers or will your product remain free?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
sometimes the Windows API that my app calls doesn't return the information needed to identify the IP of the wifi adapter; in this case, my app thinks that the wifi is not connected.

But most of the time, my app is able to detect that wifi is connected, and there is a checkbox in "settings", "security" to authorize every connection coming from the WIFI adapter.

what browser did you use?

I tested with IE8, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox 3.6 and it works perfectly on all these browsers.

it looks like this is just a javascript issue...

I know that the new versions are considered as different apps, because I specify the version number in the application name (which makes WM think this is a different product), as asked by the windows mobile marketplace guidelines.

tell me what browser/version and what linux distribution you're using so that I can see if I can solve your issue.

I don't know yet. The sales on marketplace are very low (39 this week), so maybe the FTP server feature will be available only in the marketplace version of WIFI Remote Access Premium (but for free for beta testers and translators of course).

Anyway, what is currently available for free will stay free.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
I'm on opensuse 11.2 linux (live cd is available) with firefox 3.5.8. You keep referring to wifi where I'm referring to "usb tethering"..ie internet sharing enabled on the phone...this uses a totally different adapter than the "wifi" one so are you using the word generically to lump everything together? I saw the checkbox to "accept all connection for wifi" but had no idea if that would include the usb tethered ip's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
For the record checking "always accept wifi connections" does NOT work for usb tethered connections..it still prompts you each and every time to accept the connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
I didn't test with firefox 3.5... is there any javascript error in the javascript console? (in the tools menu)

sorry I didn't understand what you meant by "usb tethering" when I answered your post.

I didn't know it was supported on linux, and that it exposes an IP on a virtual network interface like active sync does.

In this case it is normal that my app believes there is no connection (because it is not activesync based).

yes indeed. It has not been designed with usb tethering in mind.

I will see what I can do to improve this situation in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
I'm using the phone as my internet connection (pan network connection) for a laptop...internet sharing will allow you to use usb or bluetooth..not sure if the bluetooth gets the same ip addresses (192.168.0.1 for the phone and 192.168.0.102 for the pc when using usb tethering.....this is true on both windows and linux)

I'll check for a javascript error when I run it next. I'll also try to access the phone via remote control using "konqueror"..the kde web browser.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alfhatz:
It's a very nice app, works great on my omnia 2.

keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steezee:
would there be a way to use the phones mobile data over something like hamachi? that would be a way to avoid a login server and stuff like that for the device

This happens when a file or folder has a lock (file opened in another program) preventing his deletion. (or if the memory card is set to read only)

I will make this error message more user friendly.

you can post it here, I will put it on my server so that other users can get it when doing a manual update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatballj:
Hope that one date it can replace the role of activesync and give more function such as file manager of the phone, back up the data etc.

OK , great . :)

can you enlarge the field for writing, some words are slightly longer. eg image ...disable word is too long .

Thanks again for this application ! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
Sorry, I don't intend to make WIFI Remote Access an active sync replacement, it's too complicated :(

thank you for providing this translation!

I will enlarge the enable/disable buttons in version 1.7r2 that will be released very soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zakariae:
WOWW

This app works also on 3G!! I logged into my HTC touchHD using my friends Blackberry Bold9700, both on 3G!!!!both WiFi DISABLED!! :eek:

Very nice app!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
actually, for most users it WON'T work on 3G.

You either had :

-a public IP address (which doesn't begin with 10. or 172. or 192.168.) attributed by your network operator, which allows your device to be reachable from the internet

-Or, like most users, you had a public IP address (typically beginning with 10.), your device wasn't reachable from the internet, BUT it was reachable from other devices connected to the same operator network, in the same geographical zone (like on a LAN).

VPN/Hamachi

Works perfectly over 3G/HSDPA using Hamachi (VPN) WM client. I transferred stuff easily around 1 Mbps using free version from LogMeIn.

Only drawback is you need Hamachi client on the PC as well...but its the only way I know of unless your nw provider gives you static IPs on phone :eek:

new beta version released (with a timebomb, because I think it has a lot of bugs inside)

http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/?language=en

Version 1.7r2 beta1 : (2010/05/08)

WARNING: this beta version has a timebomb which will make it expire on 2010/05/14. Do not redistribute this version!

-new feature: FTP server (tested with IE/Windows Explorer and FileZilla; please test it with your favorite FTP client and report bugs. Make sure you have backups of your files before using it)

-various bug fixes (i.e: the SMS feature now accepts phone numbers containing a space, ...)

-minor visual changes in the web interface

-added the ability to translate the WPF-based components (Remote control and 3D Gallery)

and please, report any bug or typo you may see!

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
nice tip!

does Hamachi use L2TP or PPTP protocols, which are blocked on most cellular data plan (at least, here in France) ?

or does it work as an SSL VPN?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nqnguyen2:
Amazing piece of software man! Keep up the phenomenal work! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v-b-n:
I believe its SSL over TCP ... and P2P uses some UDP ports also....

In any case if a direct connection is not coming through, the connections fallback to a http(s) via a Relay server (provided @ LogMeIn)

I personally have never had any issues..expect relay servers if you are behind proxy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
thank you :)

that's the kind of feature I wanted to implement in WIFI Remote Access...

I don't know if I'm going to implement this relay server idea, since WIFI Remote Access can't be ported on Windows Phone 7 ... this means this project will not live for long :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
A few questions......

1) In your latest r2 release did you make it where it allows you to "always accept connections" from the 192.168.0.XXX internet sharing ip's?

2) It sounds like you plan to abandon the app in future....at least the win mobile 6.X version....if so will you be releasing your source so someone else can continue your work? That person would not be me but I for one have no intention of rushing to win 7 phone version anytime soon and am perfectly happy with current os which is just beginning to interface with linux in a consistant manner.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
not yet, sorry

I will see what I can do about it

I'm not planning to abandon the development of this app in the near future.

If I was to abandon it, I would of course release the source code (and actually I will release part of it soon).

There are still features that need to be implemented, like picture thumbnails caching, and SMS messaging which needs to be improved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v-b-n:
I already hate WP7 :mad:

Anyways, I plan to do a test of sorts, will you be able to install Hamachi on your phone and help me find out its feasibility.

Plan :

(1) Install hamachi on my server and create a network

(2) Install hamachi on phone and connect to this network

(3) Redirect my server IP (for a specific port) to users hamachi IP (Can be improved later with some other way)

So when done, all one needs is to switch on Hamachi+Wifi App on phone and connect by http://my-server-ip : port and voila you can access phone over normal internet.

I have just started working this on server side... will send you PM once ready for test.

PS : I love your app and its use is phenomenal (atleast for me)... plz keep improving it for pre WP7 users :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v-b-n:
Holy cr@p...I got it working :D

http://my-server-ip : port is going to WifiApp Service on my phone over 3G/HSDPA and response is awesome even though I am in a week signal area !!

If someone wants to test it out...please install Hamachi (from LogMeIn) on your phone and PM me with your IP details (from Hamachi). I will reply with the Network Joining details and assign a port on my server for you for testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
Please giver us a version I can set to always accept connections to/from the 192.168.0.XXX ranges so I can set the app once and for all to run at startup.

new beta version released:

http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/

Version 1.7r2 beta2 : (2010/05/26)

-this beta version has a timebomb which will make it expire on 2010/06/01

-now compatible with Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen devices)

-may also be compatible with any Windows CE device (untested)

-remote control : better compatibility with Internet Explorer 6

-FTP server : solved compatibility issues with Firefox, Chrome and some other FTP clients

-added an option to automatically accept any incoming connection without any prompt (less secure)

added in 1.7r2 an option to automatically accept any incoming connection
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnboatcat:
Great App. Great work. Great communication!

Don't worry about Windows Phone 7. If we would have wanted an iPhone operating system we would have bought one. People creating great apps like yours will keep this OS going and growing for years. WP 7 is being created to placate the cell companies that don't want you to have any freedom from their built in OS and app control. This community obviously does not play that game.

Thanks again!

new stable (final) release : version 1.7 R3

just a few bug fixes, and no more time bomb!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
What is the difference between the Basic and Premium version?

And I live in country that not listed in Markeplace, how can I get your Premium version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Russian translation for 1.7R3

Put the file from archive in folder \res\public\languages
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Heloooo? Anyone here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
thank you, I'll put it on my server
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
yes, sorry ^^

the premium version contains :

-an FTP server

-the Text Messaging (SMS) feature

-the Remote control feature

however, the basic version also contains these features, but it needs to be "activated" each time the application is launched to use them.

the activation process is just a 5 second nag screen that is displayed with some ads before letting the user access the requested feature. That's the best way I found to keep a free version of wifi remote access with all the features of the premium version.

I'll send you a download link in private when I'll have compiled the final release of the premium version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
Things I noticed with latest version:

1) 1.7r1 did not notify the user of 1.7r2 or 1.7r3.

2) 1.7R3 did not uninstall 1.7R1 during install

3) 1.7R3 still gives me a warning page when enabled telling me I'm not connected to any network when tethered (192.168.0.1)

4) FTP access that would allow linux users to do multi file uploads is a premium feature but windows users running IE can do multi upload with the free version.

5) You assume the user is on the internet to approve your premium feature so if I'm in a lack of coverage area I can't do any of the premium features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Ah.... ^^

Thank you very much.... ^^

yup, please and I'll keep it for myself... ^^

And, I want to tell you that the battery meter displayed in my desktop comp isn't correctly placed, the separation bar is overlapping the meter... I'm using IE8 and FireFox...

And again, thank you very much....

Today I was looking for a way to sync my HD2 with my PC through WiFi, Well this app doesn't do what I was looking for but on the other hand can handle what I want. I have to confess that this is one of the sickest apps ever.

I just gave my device to an Android\iPhone owner and started to control it from the other room! You had to see the look on that guys face... :D

Viva la WM and thanks a lot for this app.

Cheers

AMAZING!!!

Congrats on producing such an awesome piece of software!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boborone:
Any idea if this would work to connect a psp to a phone? I've been lurking round MS's website looking at their mobile server tools wondering how I could set something like this up.

This is awesome that you have done this for a pc connection. Thank you for the app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I add to the users praising this application.

Yet, I must admit, I was very much surprised by the request the server makes of a IE browser to use the premium version... isn't that really possible in any other way with firefox? I am pretty sure most part of XDA users have FF installed (all of them for those who use linux), and from my several years as amateur web designer I never found anything that IE did better than FF, on the contrary ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
yes, that's because I have not yet pushed the update for users of 1.0w and 1.7r1.

I will do so very soon.

because it's not the same app name (version number included in the app name), windows mobile considers 1.7r3 is a different app than 1.7r1.

I forgot to look into this issue.

yeah life is unfair ;-)

that was that, or removing the premium features from the basic version completely...

I'll send you the premium version when I will have compiled it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
yeah I hope so ^^

that's weird... could you make a screenshot and post it here?

maybe are you using bigger font settings in your browsers?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
you can certainly access the content of your winmo phone from your PSP web browser (some people use my app to access their WM phone from their iphone)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moav:
Can I access the content of my phone from my own phone ??

That would be sick, imagine you control the phone from the same actual phone :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
IE 6/7/8 support Windows Presentation Foundation XAML Browser Applications, Firefox doesn't.

Firefox 3.0 used to support WPF, but mozilla doesn't care about retro compatibility, and broke the WPF plugin support (it doesn't support reading cookies anymore with firefox 3.5 due to some breaking changes)

Anyway, you can still view images and use remote control feature from non IE browsers! But it won't be as powerful as with IE.

Actually, you would be surprised to hear that while implementing the HTML version of the Remote Control feature, I had no issue making it compatible with Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Chrome and Safari (using the same code, even with IE6!), but I had big issues with Firefox 3.5/3.6 which didn't support some properties, and had a bug which caused characters typed by the user to be dropped.

I was about to give up and not support firefox at all, but finally I spent 8h working on this firefox specific bug and found a workaround (it comes from the fact that firefox handles very poorly events triggered while doing a synchrone ajax call: it simply drops half of the events!).

So, at least for this feature, firefox did way worse than IE, even IE6 did a better job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] link8506:
yes it will work very well if you like to make things more complicated than they are :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wevenhuis:

Freakin awesome!! This is going to prove

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] inks:
Ridiculously good and polished program. I'll be buying it when it hits the US marketplace.

This works for me too over 3G. Three Australia provide two APNs, one proxied without IP, and another with a public IP (primarily geared for tethering/USB 3G dongles).

I tested from computer -> fixed line ADSL provider -> internet -> Three -> phone

=)

It loads favourite places quickly, but takes 1-2 mins to load detected media folders/other features/file heirachy/battery levels.

If I have both WiFi and 3G on, however, the program seems to ignore connection attempts via 3G (which maybe is a good thing).

I wonder though, if there's any possibility of implementing https and secureftp...
