HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Files won't transfer to Android Device..

« on: April 08, 2011, 01:55:11 AM »

rejetto, I am glad you finally understand,  I'm may be guessing but I think NinjaS4 is the same person I recruited off of Nookcolor forums to help me verify what the possible problem is. 

BTW there is NO chance I would EVER consider opening my home network up to the internet without some kind of protection.   I ran a Xitami Web Server with a portal app on my home PC, and I was scanned and probed within a hour.  I finally took it down, even though I was never penetrated, an avg of 10 or more probes a day.

We have have discovered that with NO Passwords the transfer works from
PC >HFS>wireless home network>Nookcolor.  
I should have tried this before, but I have always thought of using HFS as an open server on the internet to turn on when I and my friends wanted to transfer files.

Without enabling IP/Port virtual service in the router, by simply using the HFS pc IP:port it and not open to WwW so no password necessary, and  file transfer was accomplished PC > Nookcolor Android device.

While I am happy, it would be nice for HFS to have password protection working too, for Android transfers.

But for now this solves a problem for many.

BTW the error I get

<Unknown>
68.111.111.250 (fake ip)
Download unsuccessful

I did submit a question on the http://forum.xda-developers.com forum to hopefully get what is causing this issue.  I have read that android browsers have this issue on other android OS gadgets ie  Samsung Tab

Thank you for the replies,  and special thanks to Rejetto both for the reply and your great application.

Yes I did try downloading a file through the Nookcolor browser, I used your own site, and downloaded the HFS.exe from downloads here.  There was no problem.

At first I thought it was file extensions, so then I tried PDF file and epub file, via HFS.  I did verify that with HFS running on my laptop was accessible via desktop with the ip:port, no problem there HFS served the file from downloads just fine.

So if the Nookcolor browser could download ok from this site, why not from HFS?

I used HFS for some quick file transfers between friends a couple of years ago it was quick easy solution, compared to setting up Xitami, which worked fine but a lot more complicated to setup, where I setup a whole portal for the same, fun project but I don't have time to deal with the security issues.  HFS so fast so easy.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Files won't transfer to Android Device..

Hi, and thanks for making this great nifty file transfer utility free, I really appreciate it.

I want to be able to transfer files to my Nookcolor ereader,  file extension, pdf, epub,txt , etc.

Setup on my Laptop was easy,
However after testing that the HFS server was working properly, (d/l files from my laptop to desktop copying file) I then tried laptop to Nookcolor ereader.  The Nookcolor browser had no problem seeing the HFS server, but download failed, simply saying "Download unsuccessful.

The Nookcolor currently only allows a USB cable hooked to either a laptop or desktop to move files around.  I would like to use HFS to move files.

Any idea why file transfer not working on the Nookcolor? 

thanks for any help
