Android Question I can't conect via wifi to send file

[Sergio GermánRassino]

Hi. I'm trying to put this example to work, but no success

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...nd-and-receive-files-with-asyncstreams.30493/

I get this error; "Error: (SocketTimeoutException) java.net.SocketTimeoutExeption failed to conect to/192.168.1.110 (port 21341) after 300000 ms"

The tutorial has a link to download a library, but it is broken.

Can you help me with this?

All I need for my project is to send a txt file by wifi, to another local network computer.

Thank you

Prof. Sergio Rassino

Have you set your router to port-forwarding 21341 to ip 192.168.1.110 ?

Thank you derez for your help.
Not the first time, but now I did it, due to your suggest, but no success.
I have only one router in my lan. I checked that all pc's and android devices see each other sending pings
What am I doing wrong?

You should use B4J to implement the server side. See this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...r-b4j-server-over-the-internet.37201/#content

You can remove the dynamic dns related code.

Make sure to open the relevant firewall port or it will not work.

Thanks Erel for your reply. Unfortunaly, I have no access to the target pc, so I can't install anything there.

I've been looking for alternatives. I found SMB library, and I've been testing it. It works grate when the target computer is configured to allow share without users account or passwords. But when I try to conect to a computer with not such configuration, it takes up to 2 minutes to upload or download a small txt file.

Is that correct? Is it the apropiate time to wait?

Thank you again

SMB requires some configuration for it to work. I'm not sure why it takes 2 minutes on your setup. It runs fast here.

For any other solution you will need to run something on the PC.

Thank you Erel
Could you tell me which are those configuration that must be done ?

I post you here a samall test app
Thank you again
