Welcome to Android. Where **** all "just works".

You need the phone to act as a server to the Netbook. Either via SMB
(Samba - Windows stylee) or FTP.


Or the other way around - possibly enabling a share on the netbook.


I think he's got that working, and it makes sense for the phone *NOT* to
be a server, sucking up battery power just in case someone wants to
access it, far more sense to have the PC with its mains power be the
server, ready for the occasion when then phone wants to access it, you
can pull or push files using the phone after all ...
