I'm STILL experiencing annoying problems with the FTP - namely that it doesn't support the commonest method of changing directories, CDUP. This is just stupid, there's no reason why CDUP can't be enabled (at the moment I have to manually specify folders to go back to if I want to navigate back to the root from being in a particular subfolder!)
Also, for some reason I tried to connect to the FTP with my Hermes over 3G in Opera Mobile, specifying the username and the password inside the actual URL (xda:[email protected]) and Opera STILL asked me for a username and password to log onto the server. And then, when I typed it in, it didn't like it, and kept on asking me again and again and again... The same Error 550 Permission Denied.
The forum's been (almost) sorted; please someone go take a look at the FTP and see if these problems can be sorted! I love the irony of not being able to access the FTP from an actual HTC device 8)

What happens if you only enter the usernamen/password when Opera asks for it?

CDUP enabled... Awesome.
Re the Opera problem: same result. 550 error every time. Very curious, gotta be the way which it initiates the FTP transaction... Tried to packet sniff in promiscuous mode but I don't have wifi on my PC (getting a laptop soon but don't have it yet, so can't wifi packet sniff) and for some reason I couldn't pick up any packets coming from my PDA on the wifi network even though I'm connected via cat5 (so in theory I should see the traffic in wireshark)... I feel too ill to go messing about trying to make it work though, just thought I'd let you know it still doesn't work. Very odd.
Kudos for the CDUP enablement though.

Okay, maybe I am just stupid or something, but a LOT of the links that point to the FTA are broken. So I did a little reading and now connect with an FTP application. After doing some browsing around, most of the files are gone. What's up? Am I missing something? All I want to do is downgrade the phone (Cingular 8125).
Edit.... Okay now I read somewhere else that the roms have all been removed per a request from MS. Is this the issue and I am not really being that stupid?

a lot of files missing at Blueangle
Hi, i use to download BA rom at ftp site but now most of the roms is missing left only directory only.

Site Admin: The Black Helicopters are Coming!
I don't want to be the party pooper but I like this site and wish for it to be around for a long time:
The uploads area is again showing a bunch of full or dumped ROM images. I count no less than ten ROM dumps/updates in the Hermes directory.

CDUP enabled
CDUP enabled

Is this? correct in saying there are no admins for the Prophet, Atom or Magician FTP areas?

yes
yes, don't worry

There's now a Blackstone upload folder, and within that is a ROM folder.

i can't get within the blackstone upload folder (error 550 failed to change dir)
Any thoughts? I put my files in the upload section in the general folder (xdaupload)
Hopefully they will get to the right section
Thx

can't access samba share

Hi,
I want to access a samba share in my home network. I have a lan-storage device (dlink dns323, static ip 192.168.XX.XX) connected to a wlan-router.
When I activate my wlan on the xda orbit, I'm able to open web-pages and download gps-data for quick gps. Xda orbit is getting its ip via dhcp. As dns I defined the wlan-router.
So how can I access the share "folder1" at the dns323?
I tried this in totalcommander:
\\[email protected]\folder1
--> Error 53 while connection!
Similar in File Explorer:
\\[email protected]\folder1
--> Network ressource was not found or you do not have access rights.
From a desktop pc or laptop inside my home network I can connect to the share as user1. Without the [email protected] statement --> same result.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards, hqqh

Hi,
now I installed z2 PocketLan. When I scan my network, my NAS (DNS323), wlan router and my linux server were found. But when I try to connect using group name user name and password the error message: "Network path not found." is printed. This happen when I try to connect to the NAS and the linux server (smb server is running).
I'm happy about any help.
Kind regards,
hqqh

fwiw I could only get network sharing to work when i addressed it via name ie.
\\device\sharename rather than \\ipaddress\sharename.

Hi,
thank you for your hint. I tried to connect vi Internet Explorer by device name:
"\\DLINK-EE2EBC\folder1"
But when I press ENTER, the address is substituted by "file://\\DLINK-EE2EBC\folder1" and the error "Network path not found" appears.
How can I configure my device, so that it will access the LAN and not local files?
Kind regards,
hqqh

Do you have the (Start -> Settings -> Connections ->) Network Plugin installed and configured?

I've exactly the same problem, i have an Artemis P3300 and already tried everything. Also configuring the network plugin. But the plugin won't connect to my lanbox...
When i refresh the Networkneigbourhood, my lanbos can be found, but i can't tap on it (i can by my other computers in the neigbourhood). Maybe it is a problem with the firmware of my lanbox? But under WM5 everything was accesable.

when i enter a \\network\share link in IE, it gets redirected to file explorer and a blank IE window says open with file://\\device\share in the address bar. Have you tried file explorer or total commander?
also i have no settings set on the network plugin page, isnt that for sharing out your wm?

Hi,
@chiel80: You mean it is an WM6 problem? Do you know whether it is possible to update the operating system without affecting the installed software?
@mc1: Yes it tried totalcommander and file explorer. The network plugin shows the same behavior like chiel80's device. All network devices were found, but no shared folder is available. Same in the tool called pocketlan.
I dont know what I can do. Is there anyone how can access shared folders via network?
Kind regards,

Hello,
I have the same Problem. I have tryed with PocketLAN, Resco-File-Explorer, HTC Network Plugin and Total Comander and it cames the same Problem. With Windows-Sharefolder its worked very fine. But I have Problems with my NAS-Server (Buffalo Linkstation) and my DreamBox, boths are Linux-Devices. Before I flashed my HTC Kaiser, its worked with my NAS. But after I flashed my Kaiser then the Problems has beginn. I think its a Windows Mobil 6-Problem. What can I do?

WM6 Firewall?
Hi,
I still have the problem, that I can't connect to samba shares via WLAN. I as said above, I can send pings to my linux server and I can send pings from the server to the xda orbit.
I noticed that if I connect to the samba share from e.g. another linux or windows pc, a log file is created under /var/log/samba on the server. But when I try to connect with the xda orbit, no log file will be created.
So is it possible that WM6 has a firewall, which blocks the samba ports (137-139 I think)?
I have done a port scan of the xda orbit an got the following result:

I know, if the communication was started from the xda orbit, the samba ports dont have to be open, but if the firewall has a very restrictive setup, the commuication will not be start? Just an idea.
So my question: Is there a firewall in Windows Mobile 6? If yes, how can I configure it?
Kind regards,
hqqh

Any progresses here? Struggling with the same problem here.

Hi johnpatcher,
No, there is no progress on this topic at my side ((.
Do you have this connection problem when you try to connect to a share on a linux or a windows system?
Maybe there are differences in the implementation of the samba protocol between linux and windows.
Kind regards,
hqqh

I'm trying to connect to a samba (linux) share.
It doesnt work neither with "security = user" nor with "security = share". I just get a sound, but it doesn't connect. No entries in the server log files can be found .

Hi,
I setup a connection to a winXp computer where a folder was declared as shared folder and I was able to connect to it!!!
So what is the problem? Do I have the wrong settings of the samba-server?
The ip address of my XDA Orbit is added to the list of devices which have access to the share.
Has someone established a connection between a WM6 device and a linux system?
Kind regards,
hqqh

Hi
I have the same problem on my HTC touch cruise with WM6
Using TotalCommander LAN-plugin, I get connection to all the shared folders
in the LAN, but when I want to connect to a LAN-storage, located on a USB-server (running smb-protocol) I get the storages name, but no folders or files on it.
With my elder HP Ipaq 6910 running WM5 all works perfect.
I think there must be a setting (in WM6 or HTC) that prevents WM6 from connecting to a SMB-server?
Is there anybody who can connect with WM6 to a LAN-(smb)-storage?
Thanks
Stefan

I have the same issue. My ATT-Tilt-WM6 with HTC network plugin shows all available pcs, but will only connect to actual windows machines. I've got shared Linux samba drives, and shared ibook hosted samba drives, which show up in network plugin, but it can't connect to. All pcs/ibooks/linux boxes in network can connect to each other just fine. And my other phone, a sprint 6700 with WM5, shares the ibook and linux drives just fine, I'm only having the problem with WM6.

Network access to NAS using Lobster Tunes
If you just want access to audio files? I have managed to get access to my audio files on my NAS device (Synology DS107) using Lobster Tunes.
http://lobstertunes.com
The NAS device has a media server as well as being Upnp.

There *is* a fix for browsing Linux (samba)-based shares and it involves editing a line in smb.conf on the Linux server.
BUT
I found the fix in a very obscure forum on the Internet a long time ago AND I no longer have the link!! I did fix this problem on my old Linux server but it's not currently fired up so I will have to dig it out of storage and see what I did.
This is bugging me now as I need to 'fix' my new server!

Hi!
I was struggling this issue with Kaiser. And solution came with new ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395555
Unfortunately, I can't figure out why and what is difference, but if I install any other ROM (e.g. Dutty's), I can't access samba shares. If I install the one above, I can access using TC, Resco, File Explorer and maybe others.
Hope this helps someone.
PS: I have Synology DS-207+ on the network.

OK. The correct answer is here:
Change HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLe vel to 1 from 3, not to 2 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922895.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa925018.aspx) as "You can also set the LmCompatibilityLevelServer value to 2 or to 3. Both of these specify that the server will only use NTLM v2. Authentication will fail if the client is not capable of NTLM v2 protocol. For more information, see Authentication Services Registry Settings".
And check to make sure HKLM\Comm\Redir\SmbSignatureMode is set to 0 (not recommended 'cos it may cause problems with windows servers), 1 or 2, but not 3 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921092.aspx).
And you can try to set HKLM\Comm\Redir\AllowedAuthMethods to 3 to see if it makes any difference. To me, 2 works fine.
No need to modify samba configurations if you are running a recent version of samba (3.0.28 right now). Anyway, you can always try to add "use spnego = no" (maybe "client use spnego = no" or "spnego = no" as stated and/or quoted in other posts/web pages, I'm not sure of it.) to see if it makes any difference in your situation/samba version.

[Q] How to use CIFs with Windows 7

Could some kind person point me in the direction of how to use CIF's (on DJ Droid 1.4, presume it's the same for every rom) along with Windows 7 to share a media folder?
I've (obviously wrongly), shared the folder in Windows, put in the network path, username and password and local path in the CIF's manager but it always fails to mount.
Many thanks.

I've worked it out now, in case anyone is interested, do not use the windows network name, instead do this:
Right click folder in Windows, select properties/sharing then click "Advanced Sharing", check "Share this folder" click ok.
Add the share in the CIFs manager with the windows box IP address and the folder, e.g.
192.168.1.2/Media
Use your windows username and password.
Job done.

Any path on the phone. /sdcard/cifs/media works fine for me.

Can someone explain how I would use this to access music on my home computer - I have a dns service so that I can remotely access the computer - using the built in htc music player, or is this not possible?
From what I understand, I simply share the folder (samba) in windows but how do I point my phone at that directory?
Chimp

Bump Would love this

Note: This will only work on your home Wifi network. If you want to make use of files from your home PC over 3G, you might want to use a VPN.
You'll need a rooted device and a custom kernel that allows CIFS. All AOSP ROMs use CIFS enabled kernels, but if you use a Sense ROM then you may need to install a newer kernel to get this to work (see the "all things Desire" thread in the "Desire Android Development" subforum for kernel options).
Install CifsManager from the market. Find the file 'cifs.ko' on your phone and make sure that the 'path to cifs.ko' in the CifsManager settings points to it.
You'll need to know:
- Your PC's IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.10)
- The name of the share you've created (i.e. Media)
- The name of the Windows user allowed to access the share (i.e. smeddy)
- The password of the Windows user allowed to access the share (i.e. 53cr3t)
In CifsManager, press menu, 'Add new share' and enter the above details. Press on the line in CifsManager with the red dot on the right. The dot should turn green. From now on, to use files from your PC on your phone, just open CifsManager and tap the share to connect.
You should now be able to access the files from the share on your PC as if they were located in /mnt/cifs/<share name> (if you have S-OFF) or /sdcard/mnt/cifs/<share name> (if you haven't).

I was thinking that a folder in the phone can be added as a share and accessed as a shared folder from a Windows 7 PC (the reverse of that mentioned here) using CIFs manager. Can this be done? If so can someone post detailed steps please?

No, as far as I know, that doesn't work yet.
What you'd need for that is an Android port of Samba. Some people over in the Android Software Development forums are discussing that, but I don't think it's working (yet). Edit: Apparently it is. See this thread for more information.
There are several FTPd's for Android in the market, though. That could do much the same thing.

@Cuchulainx
WOW! Thanks man. I was having trouble getting this to work. Couldn't seem to make a connection to my PC shares. Now with your help it works superb.
I can open word documents and excel spreadsheets on my phone from my computer and edit them with Quickoffice. Awesome.
Can also wirelessly transfer files from PC to phone. Cool.
Cheers mate. Clever boy!

great！！want to have a try, but don't know how to start~~

is there any way to get cifsmanager work with windows 7 which doesn't have a password? i get "I/O error" all the time.

Mounting SMB shares causes error "-6"

Hi!
I've recently bought an 101 G9 turbo and this far I'm pretty satisfied with it. However there is one thing that I can't get working (that should work) and that is mounting windows shares.
When going through the "Files" application, I can see the workgroup "WORKGROUP" and after clicking on that I can see my computer, after clicking on that I get a username/password popup, so far so good. After entering the correct user name and password however the popup just appears again! Checking in dmesg or logcat shows the following error:
"CIFS_VFS: cifs_mount failed w/ return code = -6"
After some googling this turns out to be the error thrown when you're trying to mount a share that doesn't exist. Now, I'm thinking that I'm not actually trying to mount a share yet. I'm trying to "browse" what shares are available on my computer.
Now to the questions:
- Has this _ever_ worked for anyone? (It seems to me that it's trying to mount the computer as a share)
- Is it somehow possible to specify which share I want to mount (eg. //192.168.1.2/Videos) without "browsing" to it?
Thanks alot
ergoen

This is a common issue at the moment and to get around it just use a new file explorer from the app store (I use ES File explorer). Make sure that windows is set to share it on the network too as by default it just shares with home group.

A year ago, I used this method to import a Mullvad VPN config file into OpenVPN for Android 0.7.8 running on my fire stick (fire os 5.2.7.6), and it worked beautifully and seamlessly. But now I'm trying to do the same thing on my fire tv cube (fire os 7.2.2.4) using OpenVPN for Android 0.7.21, and I can't import the Mullvad configuration file. When I click on the import icon, I get a message that says "No items". It doesn't even let me browse to select the file folder containing the configuration file. I've tried installing the old OpenVPN apk (0.7.8) to see if that makes a difference, and it doesn't. I've googled for that error message, and nothing comes up. I am left to wonder is the different fire os's are playing a part. Does anyone have any ideas for how I can get this to work? Thank you for any suggestions!

You don't need Mouse Toggle to do it. You just go to Settings and then mark "Use internal file browser".
