Windows file explorer accessing a shared Android folder using either FTP or SMB
He who is Java Jive said on Tue, 10 Oct 2017 21:54:46 +0100:
You need to install an App such as Samba Filesharing (android), which, IIRC, requires root access. We have a thread somewhere in the Windows newsgroups on the AndSMB file sharing where I suggest NY ask (depending on his version of Windows). It's sometimes hard to ascertain which are the canonical windows groups, so I list the three main windows newsgroups (as always) for NY and others to benefit from each post: alt.comp.os.windows-10 alt.windows7.general microsoft.public.windowsxp.general I long ago tried that AndSMB method which failed for me but which worked for others. Since mounting the entire Android phone as a Windows drive was already working, I didn't bother further debugging the AndSMB method than just testing it out a few times. The method I use to mount Android/iOS file systems on Windows is... 0. There's no need to install anything on Windows to mount Android to it: http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/10/filesystem.jpg Rooting isn't needed; but if you're rooted, you can see everything: http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/10/hosts8407d.jpg 1. Install & set up and run *any* desired FTP server on Android/iOS: I used "FTP Server (Free)" (be.ppareit.sw3iftp_free) version 2.14.1. The FTP server will provide your login/password, URI, & port NOTE: The login/password can be anything you want to set it to, e.g., login=ftp password=abc or login=anonymous password=anonymous or whatever URI-and-port=ftp://192.168.1.10:3721 http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/13/d_andsmb_network_mount.jpg 3. On Windows 10, right click on "This PC" so we start at a common point. Then right click in the white space of the "Network locations" area. Select "Add a network location" as shown below to the given URI & port: ftp://192.168.1.10:3721 http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/13/a_add_a_network_location.jpg Leave anonymous checked or specify the desired login/passwd from above. 4. Simply walk through the six-step Network Locations wizard. http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/13/b_add_a_network_location.jpg 5. Optionally, click the Map Network Drive button to assign a drive letter. http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/13/c_add_a_network_location.jpg Voila. If someone can state the steps to use the AndSMB method, that would be great leverage of our combined tribal knowledge. http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/13/e_andsmb_network_mount.jpg |

Windows file explorer accessing a shared Android folder using either FTP or SMB

You need to install an App such as Samba Filesharing (android), which, IIRC, requires root access. We have a thread somewhere in the Windows newsgroups on the AndSMB file sharing where I suggest NY ask (depending on his version of Windows). For others to benefit, here are five SMB connection agents: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-android-apps-for-easy-smb-connection/ 1 Folder Tag CIFS is a SMB/CIFS plugin for the Folder Tag file manager. 2 Astro File Manager has SMB connectivity built in. 3 AndSMB allows you to manage SMB files with download and upload support. 4 ES File Explorer allows you to connect to SMB shares and FTP servers. 5 File Manager works with SMB shares and FTP file sharing. Here's the AndSMB description and download for the Android side: http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andsmb/index.html https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lysesoft.andsmb Here's a tutorial but the problem with it is that it's only from 1 side: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/smartphones/connect-to-samba-shares-from-android-with-andsmb/ The problem is that Windows 10 changed the "guest" connection capability. I haven't found yet a tutorial that covers both the Android setup with Windows 10 setup, but I am getting the same error message explained he https://techjourney.net/cannot-connect-to-cifs-smb-samba-network-shares-shared-folders-in-windows-10/ Basically the solution is to re-enable the guest access to remote shared folders and network locations in Windows 10: https://superuser.com/questions/946999/windows-10-smb-shares 1 Run Registry Editor (REGEDIT). 2 Navigate to the following registry key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorks tation\Parameters Right click on the Parameters key name, and select New - DWORD (32-bit) Value Name the new value as AllowInsecureGuestAuth and set its value data to 1 3 That should enable CIFS / SMB / Samba network shares without a login As always, actually effecting a solution in the real world encounters hiccups, which I will work through one by one and report back on successes so that others can more easily follow in my footsteps. The goal is for anyone in a typical home network to be able to mount the entire available file systems of their Android/iOS mobile devices on their desktops and vice versa. |
