Siemens created an excellent program called Data Exchange Software (DES), which lets you view a phone connected to a computer as a logical drive. This drive is visible in Windows Explorer. But what should those who never got used to Explorer do, those who prefer to use the best (in my opinion) file manager, Far Manager? The answer is simple: use this plugin.

The plugin uses the DES engine. Therefore, if DES does not work for you, FarDES will not work either. In Far, the contents of the phone's flex memory are shown as a separate file panel.

Features:

  • Standard operations with files and directories;
  • Creating, viewing, and editing files on the phone;
  • Working with file dates and attributes;
  • Proper deletion of subdirectories;
  • Opening a JAR file as an archive;
  • Working with the contents of the SMS archive;
  • Checking free space before copying;
  • Viewing additional information from the phone;
  • Formatting flex memory;
  • Creating the standard directory structure;
  • Progress display for file operations and the ability to interrupt with Esc.

The same phone models as in DES are supported: Siemens S45, ME45, SL45, M50, MT50, C55, S55, M55, and SL55. Far Manager 1.70 beta 5 or later, DES 2.67 or DES 3.0.0, and Windows 98 or later are required.
