Remote Explorer Help

What is this?

This application is software for the purpose of quering an Android device wirelessly within a local WiFi network (or from anywhere provided the router is exposed to the internet). When installed, it starts an HTTP server (courtesy of Anywhere Software) and displays the Android device's local IP address. Enter this address into the web browser of any computer to connect it with the Android device.

Initial Setting

The application screen shows the local IP address, thus URL, of the device and provides three buttons, the self-explanatory Start and Stop buttons and [Change Port]. The port is the number next to the ":" in the URL. Tap on this button to open a number dialog by which to set any number larger than 1024. Close the dialog and tap on [Start].

What it does

Currently provided are 2 main menu items:

File System

The start screen shows the contents of the internal SD Card.
Tap on [All Disks] to show a list of all currently installed media disks.

Available Actions

Note that external cards cannot be written with Android 4.4.x
and that media card folder names differ by Android version and manufacturer.
