Hey guys thanks, but it doesnt help me with my problem. The filezilla,wnspc are PC applications(which I already have setup ). I want such an app on my N900 to access the PC while I am away from the PC.
Ok consider this situation.
My PC is downstaires, and I am downloading some music or a movie.
Now its nearly midnight and I have to wake up early for work.
So I leave the PC to download its thing and I go Upstaires on my bed.
I use My VNC Viewer to view my PC and whats going there.
Once it has finished downloading I want to then download that file on my N900 without the need to go downstaires.
As said earlier, we can use the file manager to copy these files from the shared folder(PC), but this option is sometimes really buggy and it doesnt give full access to the filesystem.
I want to have FULL access to my PC right from the C drive to the music under my user.
Another cool option would be to login with administrator privileges so we can acsess other user too.
Hope I am much more clearer this time
Thanks buddies

I have recenly switched to using NFS to do file transfers. Granted, I have a NAS (this works well as NFS server); but perhaps similar solutions exist for PCs - or it would certainly work out of the box if your PC ran Linux.
Advantage in doing so: everything can be controlled from the N900 - no need to interact with the PC.
Instructions I followed are here. This boils down to:
Install portmap (takes no time at all)
Create a two-liner script which does:
Code:
/etc/init.d/portmap start
mount -t nfs -oro nas:/volume1/myshare /mnt/myshare
(if I used this more often, I could consider adding these to system boot but for now, on-demand usage is fine by me...)
There also appears to be solutions that will let you use SMB (Windows) shares instead of NFS - look here.
Can no do this quite well either through File Manager or MediaBox, but neither support mulitple selections. Have got a decent Wifi speed and a network drive, so copying a whole album over wouldn't take that long.
Alternate solution is to install an ssh server on your windows box, e.g. copssh (http://www.itefix.no/i2/copssh) and then simply do scp from the command line on your n900. You'll have to setup the keys the first time though.
You can also use vnc to your windows box and then scp, e.g. by winscp, your files into your n900.
