   Well, you have missed some information. There is some in the first post   
   of the thread, and more on the previous thread (I don't remember if it   
   was crosposted to the same groups), and then repeated again on some   
   other posts in this thread.   
      
   The OP is running a small FTP server on his phone, when needed, and   
   accesses it from his computer. Obviously having the device on the same   
   IP every day avoids having to find the IP of the day.
