How to mount the entire mobile device file system on Windows

This tutorial was posted to the Android newsgroup, but it also applies to
mounting the iOS file systems over the WiFi LAN (i.e., no cable) as well to
Windows (and Linux).

You can have one drive letter assigned to each mobile device in your house,
for example.

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 devices to it:

Rooting/jailbreaking isn't needed; but with it 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
Choose any FTP server you like for iOS that will give you the FTP URI.
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.

5. Optionally, click the Map Network Drive button to assign a drive letter.

Voila.

Sounds useful, thanks, so I've marked it as keep.

However, I'm wondering how long the wetakepics images will remain valid.

Download the images (or screen capture) and make your own .doc
documentation. It will never go bad.

Automatic archival is a valid conundrum.

Especially since the whole purpose of posting detailed knowledge is to
*leverage* it to others in the future and to add to the current tribal
knowledge level of the newsgroup as a whole (since anything I do that I
post will be improved by the well-meaning people on the ng).

As most know, DejaGoogle will archive *some* newsgroups, e.g.,
http://tinyurl.com/misc-phone-mobile-iphone
http://tinyurl.com/comp-mobile-ipad
But not
http://tinyurl.com/alt-windows7-general
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!fo...ndows7.general

You tell me why, because I don't know why Google added the new iPad group
but never added the old Windows 7 group to their DejaGoogle archives.

Is there a good search archive that contains the Windows 7 newsgroup?

This brings up a good point about the tribal knowledge of the newsgroup, as
a whole, adding to the value to every post so that everyone can do
everything.

The first important question, since I know Linux, a bit, is whether this
can be done on Linux, and the answer is yes, but differently.

The next important question, since I don't know Macs all that much, is
whether this can be done on the Mac.

How does the Mac inherently mount mobile devices over the LAN?

2b. Realise your horrible mistake, and go out and buy a Mac instead.

Once you realize the Mac is what you want to use, it would be useful to be
able to actually do it (and not just give up because you bought a Mac).

I hope the Mac can do it - and I assume the Mac can do it (because it
shouldn't be difficult) ... but someone with a Mac has to explain *how* the
Mac can access the entire bare file system of the iOS and Android devices.

Specifically...

How does the Mac inherently add any common mobile device (both Android and
iOS) over the local WiFi network, as a mount point so that we can slide
files (such as the HOSTS file example shown here) back and forth?

The OP doesn't own a Mac and only uses them when forced to in the school
environment.

What always seems interesting about the Mac people is that they talk a big
talk but they can almost never deliver the goods.

If I had a Mac at home, I'd certainly want all the mobile devices (both iOS
and Android) mounted on that Mac over the local WiFi network so that I
could share files (e.g., the HOSTS file has no reason to be different on
any particular platform).

How does the Mac mount the file system of all mobile devices in the home?

I think they don't add any "alt." 'groups, because, in theory at least,
the creation/removal rules for that hierarchy are looser. I think the
only .alt 'groups they archive are the ones that were already being
archived when they took over DejaNews.

Is there a good search archive that contains the Windows 7 newsgroup?

Pass. (I _have_ - though not for ages - seen mention of other archives
than GG, but I don't know if any of them include this one.)

Agreed on the conundrum.

The tribal-knowledge question becomes which is the longest-archived
no-registration web site for anonymous uploads of photos for Usenet posts,
given these well-known currently-available no-registration upload sites?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
What are sources of registration-free image uploads?

There's nothing about the archival time in the WeTakePic TOS:
http://wetakepic.com/page/tos

I sent a request to the contact page to ask that question:
http://wetakepic.com/page/contact

I think they don't add any "alt." 'groups, because, in theory at least,
the creation/removal rules for that hierarchy are looser. I think the
only .alt 'groups they archive are the ones that were already being
archived when they took over DejaNews.

That at least makes some sense, since the linux alt groups are archived:

Is there a good search archive that contains the Windows 7 newsgroup?

Pass. (I _have_ - though not for ages - seen mention of other archives

The sad thing about Google Groups DejaGoogle archives is that the "search"
engine sucks, which is strange, since Google's search engines are generally
considered to be good for other things (e.g., images, web pages, etc.).

However ... the great thing about Usenet is that there may be someone out
there who has already solved this search problem who intends to be helpful,
which is where the value is in every post (in the intent to add to the
tribal knowledge overall).
