Comparing XMBC functions between android and PC versions

Hi,
Newbie here.

I have been using XBMC on my W7 PC and net book for some time. I use it mostly to stream films from my film collection which I store in Livedrive. I have set up an FTP location to access them. XBMC finds all my directories and files at that location.

Last week I installed XBMC on an android Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. Can I expect to be able to stream from an FTP location when using WiFi access. If so how?

BTW XMB on the the PS3 does some of the same things as XBMC, but I haven't been able to stream from FTP using that. Should I expect to be able to do so?

This is a remote for XBMC, not XBMC for Android!

OK. Told you I was a newbie!! Rolleyes

So, I can get movies on my mobile by accessing XBMC on my PC?

No. You can control the XBMC running on your PC. Can you explain how did you install XBMC on you mobile phone?
