when you open up the app and use it they can set it up to go to there servers and then they get what ever IP you're using to get there. Without an "account"

the got a sign up an account is the step I am reffering to.

it can be written to just open up app it send your IP to them then works out a soloution without having to sign in to there servers.

it is still not working. I made an accound with the phone, opened up their page in my laptop typed in my email / passwd and its telling me user name pass word combo is incorrect. I didn't even get a comfirmation email to afirm my account.

they got a have me get an account from them - everyone else sends a affirmation email to complete the transaction. Now I can't sign in....

buggerdy buggers .. lol

Look, this is how it works.

Your laptop connects to their service and uses their private DNS to look up your phone IP address (which your phone is reporting to them). Yes, this service is private, not public. In order to stay private one must login to access it.

Forgot the disclaimer:

I have no clue how this AirDroid works, I have never used it or even seen it. All above was simply common sense with a little network knowledge.

...If they can do it , then why can't I? (or even you)...
TCP/IP classes or lack thereof that's why
simply common sense

it is not common sense if it is not common knowledge... (to the person that is accused of not having any common sense)

You don't need to create an account to use Airdroid. You don't need the web interface at all. Nor do you need to set up your own hotspot. Just connect locally, and it all works. You're making the whole thing much more difficult than it needs to be.

When multiple devices are connected to the same network, they can see each other, and connect to each other if allowed. Ssh is a different thing altogether.
