[HowTo] Wifi Mount your DROID - Discussion

[zegwin]

I cant really believe its possible. Also the FTPServer gives you the possibilty to allow 3G connections....but you dont know the HOST-Settings under 3G like IP/Hostname....

but we gonna see

"...username is "10digitNumber@vzw3g.com" and password is "vzw". "

Found this on another forum... is this what were looking for?

Listen, I love my Droid as much as the next person but don't you think this "mounting it" business is going a bit too far?

Sambaexplorer works just as good.

What the heck do you want from me? i just show off how to mount your SD card to the computer without using a cable!

@All others

1. You get your 3g hostname and IP adress through the little Programm "MyIP" which is aviable via Market.

2. if you recive username and password errors, you just have to make sure that u use the SAME username and Password ON BOTH the droid and netdrive/ftp client!

Cool. I added a static DHCP mapping for the droid based on its MAC address, so that gets around the static IP address issue.

There seems to be no permissions configurable to allow you to delete contents on the FTP server. I have my droid set to turn off WIFI when the screen turns off, but with the FTP server running, it is still accessible, so the FTP software may kill the battery by keeping WIFI and/or 3G connections open all the time.

I am on a Mac, so I opted to go the route of clicking on Go / Connect To Server from the Finder menu. I then typed in 192.168.10.xx:2002 connected with the username and password and told it to remember it in my keychain, and now I have it without an FTP client.

This way I am able to use the built in options in the finder, such as quick look, coverflow view etc.

Really great find RinTin.. Appreciate it!

Oh I had this problem too.
To fix this, after you have the app running on your phone. Open it up and it will have a grey bar at the top that says "FTPServer (*IP:PORT*) - 0 sessions"
Use THAT IP into netdrive.
