One little new thing that may help someone.

All WinSCP had said was that it couldn't connect. I checked, found the IP address had changed, and just edited my login.
Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. There's two possible ways you could fix that..

1) Have it so the router sets certain computers with certain IPs (not all routers support it..sadly)
2) Have your computers manually do IPs without the router's DHCP (requires manually setting up an IP either on your tablet. Or if you don't want to on your tablet, all the computers besides your tablet).

static IP is a lot better. I memorized all the IP addresses of my family's computers, router, xbox, tablet, and printer, which makes life easier than DHCP.

While we are at it: do yourself a favour set up vnc-over-ssh (putty, vncviewer, or tightvnc) with the help of no-ip.com you can use your home computer from work (or any wifi hotspot) and with knots 2 you can listen to your music from your home PC, or you can set up a web server too.

Good instructions for home linux PC here but for windows PC almost same idea applied.

I have been a long term user of winscp.
it has features that dokan does not (auto resume, editor selection, ability to open putty session to the machine etc)
it is stable and tested and works really nicely, it is my primary contact with the filesystem on my tablets.

I use it most of the time, but have dokan available for when i need direct access from specific windows apps.

for instance, i have a visual basic app which sets up and configures a development project and it needs to see all the files in the folder - dokan is essential for this and winscp cannot do it.

Hey guys,

Is there any way to connect to the pc from the n900? Pretty much transfer files with the n900? For example, if I had my n900 and did not have my pc, but wanted something from my pc.

Theres lots of options out there:-
Rdesktop
Ftp
SSH
scp
LogmeIn

And various others that have been utilised. It all depends on how far into it you want to go.
