So, in doing a few searches (I read the instructions here, yes), I came across a wonderful idea of a tool called CIFS, and even across an old thread that talks about making it work for the X10... on the old 1.6 roms.
Unfortunately, the FreeX10 2.2 that I'm using doesn't like the module, and I was wondering if anyone knows of either (a) an updated module that works on 2.2, or (b) another way to mount my network shares from my desktop (Win 7 Pro x64, but can be anything with my VMWare if need be) on my X10.
Any ideas from the wonderful folks of the XDA X10 Forums ?

You could just install ES File Explorer from the market. I use it to connect to the shares on my home PC and to the Network shares at work.
Astro (Also available in the market) has a SMB module as well to connect to shares but I was never able to make it work for me.
Edit: In a pinch you could also setup a FTP server on your pc and use an app like "And FTP" to connect and transfer files, or if you want to do it from the PC you could install "SwiFTP" on the phone, setup the FTP server on your phone and connect to it from your pc.
Thanks for the update. I will give ES a try. I have SSHDroid on my phone already and can WinSCP file from the PC if needed, but when I am roaming the house, it is better to not have to go back to the computer.

Have you tried a simple re-pairing?
Your PC might recognize the device based on physical address, but I think the stack driver for 1.6 and 2.1 are difference.
how to delet devises in my phone
I got devises in my phone which is expaired and i dont know how to delete (SE x10 2.1 world generic)
Doesn't work for me as well. I'm using Nordic 2.1 and Windows 7 64bit. Tried re-pairing, didn't help though. I can use my XPERIA to stream music to my computer, the only feature that's not working is sending files from pc to phone.

Problem solved.
Using bluetooth file transfer application - remote files - this will connect to bluetooth exchange folder created in PC by windows 7. Only copy files to this folder - and in phone check refresh - then copy files to your folder on sd card.
Work on 100 %. In case of any question please contact me.

Hi everyone! Hope someone can help out on this...
I have installed MiniCM7 Pro V7x (Android v2.3.5, Kernel 2.6.29) on my SE Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
It is rooted and everything works just fine... EXCEPT Wifi tethering. It is impossible to get any tethering app to work.
Barnacle will only go as far as "Starting..." and then nothing happens.
Wireless Tether for root users says "No Netfilter! Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application."
Opengarden Wifi Tethering says the same thing "No Netfilter! Sorry..."
So my question now is clearly: Is it not possible to use Wifi tethering on this phone with this rom?
And secondly, can I use my phone as a modem if I run it with a USB cable instead, as a backup if Wifi tethering wont work? If so, can you recommend a guide somewhere describing how to do it?
Thank you all in advance! Looking forward for your replies...
I finally got it to work.
I needed iptables. Found a useful guide on this URL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184907
I then use Barnacle without any issues at all! Works flawless and I can connect multiple units (iPad2, Win7 x64 PC, Ubuntu 11.04 x86 PC and Debian ARM PC) at the same time...
Please help!
Hey Psyninja, or anyone else! I've been having the same problem and its driving me crazy!

When it says I have to copy the files to the ADB folder.. where can I find it? the only adb folder I find it's on the superoneclick directory... is it this one?
Please, help!

Hi,
Yes, you can use the adb folder of SuperOneClick directory.
ADB is Android Debug Bridge, a command line tool that lets you communicate with your conected device or emulator, this folder is also found in the SDK, available on Android Developers site.
alright, I'm getting really frustrated with this, webtop is pretty much doing everything I need it to, aside from connecting over local networks to Windows based file systems.
I have an unlocked bootloader, rooted, running stock ROM with faux 1.3 ghz kernel (which should add CIPs support right? or is that just for android?), webtop2sd running xfce4 with gigolo trying to connect to windows shares, and it is just not working. I cant even get gigolo to connect to an FTP server (hosted on a windows machine), much less connect to an actual shared windows folder. It said comes up saying "Failed to mount windows share" or something of that nature.
At this point, I'm willing to pay some cold hard paypal if someone can help me out here, because this can totally replace my laptop if this can get working.
I dont know what the problem is, but I do know that the samba-common package is broke. I'm not sure if that is related to the problem or not.
Webtop can be a real headache!
You mean CIFS support, right? Not CIPS support. CIFS is related to Samba implementation. If this is what you are needing you may have not found anything if you were searching for the wrong acronym.
Here is a post about CIFS support in another forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153926
By the way what Rom are you using? And are you using Webtop2sd?
I really like the Darkside 4.2 rom but I cannot get Webtop2sd to recognize my partitions.
Kevin
lol.yeah,wrong acronym, I am a pretty big linux nub
im using stock ROM, with webtop2sd like I said in my initial post...
EDIT - just double checked, the faux kernel I have has CIFS support, so I am still at a loss what the issue is. I do have a couple theories though:
1. The broken samba-common package is still causing a problem
2. How do I know that the programs trying to connect to shares locally, are connected via the wifi,and not trying to connect via the 3G? As an example, if I have a server on 192.168.2.37, could the program be looking on the internet for that address over the 3G instead locally over the wifi?
so if ES File Explorer on my phone in mobile view can connect to both FTP and Windows share servers, why cant the webtop connect to either?
*bump*
My offer still stands, if someone can help me get the webtop linux to connect to either windows file shares or at least an FTP server, I will be more than willing to donate some money via paypal.
have you checked out CifsManager linked by faux on his kernel thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158
Thats an andoid app. Esfile explorer works on android too, i am able to connect to both windows shares and ftp servers
But i am looking for webtop linux to do that instead, which it doesnt seem to want to do
Want to do file transfer between your TP and computer without USB?
Here is the ICS wifi file transfer app
Airdroid
File expert for root access
Ive always just used File Expert even on CM7. Its pretty easy to set up a Windows file share over wifi.

Or you can just turn on MTP in settings and plug in like usual.

Yes you can use mtp unless you have a win xp system like mine. I have an Acer aspire with win xp sp3. I have tried all the fixes posted as well as modifying the inf files but cannot get mtp mode to work. Airdroid works just fine and it is a small issue to work around. I love ICS on my TP and I am sure the small things will get ironed out in time. Everyone involved in this work has done a great job and I see great things to come for this dead device.

This app is still great if you don't want to have to mess around with pluging it into your Pc I will give it a try thanks !
Samba File sharing (on the market) works fine, you can then map your TouchPad as a network drive in windows (makes it easy to put stuff on it, take stuff of) Just install it, set a password, and enable the share, and then map a drive using the info on the screen. Super easy. (Needs root and working SU)
If you install the Bricks kernal, you can use CIFS manager or Mount Manager to map a network drive to the TP, which allows you to then access files directly over WiFi without having to copy them to the TP first (a normal network share). I found it finicky to get set up, but was able to access my Windows SBS server and Win 7 systems.
Moshe5368 have you tried enabling mtp and disabling debugging? I'm using winxp and that's how I got it working.

Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.
