Wow wow wow! I haven’t been able to use the file viewer yet to delete the files from my 8320 I never use (MyFav5, etc…) to create more memory, but the Desktop Viewer is really cool. Awesome that I can now create a video of my BB screen to share with other’s I know how to do thinks on their Blackberries (i.e. by brothers who have blackberries but no intellect to use them)
Wow, who would have thunk? I was considering purchasing Beiks’ FTP app, but couldn’t make it work (probably yet another BIS problem). Now, this. I have no time to test the FTP now, but I had to come back running and comment on the ROVE Mobile File Manager’s ability to open and edit(!) text files in my media card. I’ve always wanted that. Yay!
.
Rove, why don’t you make a premium version that can at least *read* big txt files (like 400Kb or more) and provide decent plain text e-book navigation and data manipulation? I would buy it!

Hum, it seems I can’t connect to my FTP with Rove either…
Mobile File Manager is a great product! This coming from someone who paid for it. Too bad I couldn’t hold out about 7 months ago. Haha. SFTP, DAV, and the ability to copy from remote to card were worth paying for. Even if you don’t need to access remote file servers, being able to have a decent file manager just for manipulating internal card and device memory files fills a hole the BB OS was missing. I’m surprised RIM didn’t include any sort of file manager when they implemented external card access. It’s like giving you a nice high-end stove/oven but not giving you any pots, pans, or cooking utensils!
Right after the release of BEIKS’ free FTP app, BlackBerry users are getting another, and more besides: Mobile File Manager and Mobile Viewer are now available from Rove Mobile free of charge.
Luciano, we are considering increasing the maximum file size that you can open, right now it’s mostly because of memory limitations on the BlackBerry device, opening too large files will crash the device and we don’t want that to happen.
As for your FTP problems, it’s probably just a port issue, to use FTP you must use a TCP or BES connection, BIS will not work because the FTP port is blocked. You can contact our support team and they can help you troubleshoot how to get it working:
I downloaded the Mobile File Manager FTP application just days before it was discontinued. I didn’t think I would want the Mobile Viewer application until just days AFTER it was discontinued. ARgh! If anyone has the Mobile Viewer application please email it to me at davidlopez872 at [that email provider that google runs]
