Feature request: connection started from phone

Gast

I experience problems when connecting SE xperia X10 mini pro via Wifi.
Event though my phone is in the same network and, according to MPE log, application tries the correct IP address, connection cannot be opened (yes, client app is running on phone).
It would be nice to have ability to initiate connection from mobile phone. There is still need of starting an app before sync so It would be fine to start sync from phone too (and specifying the IP address of the PC).

Furthermore, sometimes I have phone on different network behind NAT and this feature could allow it to connect to PC on the other side:-)

Note that I don't know anything about security MPE provides for sync via Wifi now so I cannot judge whether this would be security threat using current techniques Smile

The app on phone acts as server so the connection from PC to phone is choosed. Besides this it would not work to connect from phone when the PC-Software is not started. For security-reasons you will be able to set a Wifi-PIN in the next version

I know but the same problem is with Phone as a server - app must be started before it's possible to connect via wifi. Moreover, PC app can be easily run in systray for the whole time.
