Add-In Update: WHS Mobile 1.0.0.1

Brent Friedman has today released an update to WHS Mobile, the add-in which lets you manage Windows Home Server with a Windows Mobile device. Here’s what’s new:

    • Port changed from 1045 to 8169
    • Changed it to only download thumbnails when the file view is toggled to large icon.
    • Removed remnants of the access log, because it wasn’t being used anymore.
    • Changed the thumbnails maximum size to 100×100 pixels for higher resolution mobile devices.
    • Windows Mobile phones no longer need to already be connected to the internet before use.
    • Added the ability to rename files.
    • Added the ability to delete files.
    • Added the ability to upload files.
    • Improved menu items for file mode and the home page.
    • Bundled EmailControl for controlling your WHS via email or text message.

    The included new add-in EmailControl allows you to manage Windows Home Server by email or a text message. You simply send a command via email or text message and your home server responds. Sounds very cool indeed. The initial command set is as follows:

    cl  — Sends the command list.
    list shares  — Sends the list of shares.
    list users – Sends the list of users with their enabled or disabled status.
    enable-user: USER_NAME — Enables or disables USER_NAME (Change USER_NAME to the user you want to manage)
    uptime – Sends the Windows Home Server’s current uptime.
    sleep – Puts the Windows Home Server into sleep/standby mode.
    hibernate – Puts the Windows Home Server into hibernation.
    shutdown  – Shuts the Windows Home Server down
    restart – Restarts the Windows Home Server

      i like the email function, i tried the last beta w/o success could get my phone to access the server for some reason, but i can RDP into the server with WM6.1 Pro so dont really “need” this…. but i like the idea of being able to restart the server via email if there is a problem, sometimes i get issues with the console not coming up, just a blue background……
