How to Mount an Android Over WiFi
1. Open the application launcher on your Android device and tap on the 'Market' app. Tap the magnifying glass button to bring up the search bar and type in the name of the app you want to install. Press 'Enter' to see a list of apps, then touch the one you want. Press the button under the 'Install' heading. It will be labeled 'Free' if the app is free or with the price listed if it's not. Touch 'OK' to accept the permissions. Wait for the app to download and install on your phone.
2. Launch the On Air app. Touch the black folder icon in the upper right to select the type of connection you want, for example: 'AppleTalk' 'Windows' or 'FTP.' Touch the large button in the middle of the screen to launch the FTP server. Locate the mount information below the button, for example: 'ftp://onair@10.0.1.38:2221.' Open a file browser window on your computer. Type in the set of numbers separated by periods, for example: 'ftp://10.0.1.38' then press 'Enter.' When asked for a username, supply the text before the '@' sign, for example: 'onair.' The password is shown as the four numbers at the bottom of the screen on your Android. The port number is the number after the colon, for example: '2221.' Your Android's SD card will now be shown as a drive on your computer.
3. Open the Wi-Fi FTP Box app on your Android. Note the FTP address displayed at the top of the screen, for example: 'ftp://192.168.1.3:8080.' Enable FTP folder browsing on your computer. Click the 'Start' button on your computer, then type 'Internet Options' and press 'Enter.' Click on the 'Advanced' tab, then check the box next to 'Enable FTP Folder View (Outside of Internet Explorer)' and un-check the box next to 'Use Passive FTP.' Click 'OK.' Click 'Start,' then 'Computer.' Type the whole FTP address from Android into the bar at the top of the window, then press 'Enter.' Tap 'Accept' on the Android, then type in the username and password fields: 'Wi-Fi' to complete the log-in process. The SD card will now be mounted as a drive on your computer.
4. Launch the WebSharing app on your Android device. Note the Web address in the blue bar, for example: 'http://192.168.2.7:2112/.' Also note any password listed below the Web address. Open a Web browser on your computer and type in the Web address. Press 'Enter.' Type in the password, if prompted, and press 'Enter.' You can browse through your Android's SD card using the Web interface on your computer.
