Hi
I'm creator of HTTPShare Folder, User and Root.
It can share your file system on your network. But if you try to share on 3G or you PC connected to different network from your phone, you can't see files..
It use this command for share:

Code:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

It work perfectly on the same network (pc & phone).

Someone know how to see files when pc connected to another wifi network or when your share when your phone connected to 3G ?
Thanks

This is not possible from the phone itself. You can only directly connect to the webserver on the phone if it is on the same network as the PC you connect from.

For 2 different networks you would have to configure the router between the networks to route the traffic it gets on a specific port to port 80 on your phone. This is what you usually call "Port Forwarding" in the average home router, which can be used to make services in your network available to the internet.

For 3G Network the equivalent to your home router is under control of your Mobile Operator, so there is no way to do this kind of port forwarding.

Another possibility would be to establish some kind of VPN to a server on a public network (== Internet) which is set up to forward traffic on one of it's ports to the phone via the VPN-Tunnel. But this kind of setup would require some server under your control on the internet and the skills to configure such a setup

you can use a couple of more approaches

1 use dyndns to provide a valid dns name to use regardless of your IP, this only works when you have control of the router, and can forward port 80

2 setup your own dns server, again, you need to have control of the router to forward ports to the phone

3 get an agreement with the ISP, which allows you to configure your router and port forwards

Thanks to both of you!
In one word, it's not possible

Or find an ISP that will provide fixed real world routable IPs and routed blocks of IP addresses.

Or you could use IPv6 if your network supports it. No port forwarding needed.
