Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how i can get CIFS working with my OSX SMB Server? I have probably tried every option and keep getting an invalid argument.
I set up my IP as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Downloads and the mount point as mnt/cifs/Downloads, put in my login and pass but the thing just won't connect. Im running OSX Lion and this is driving me crazy. Is there some secret setting that I'm overlooking? Some special **** that needs to be done to get the phone to see my Mac??
Im running KingCobra v1.3 (Rogers ShooterU stock kernel w/ CIFS support).
Im hoping someone with some more experience can help me out.
Also want to point out that ES File Explorer can connect to the SMB Server and stream from it just fine. Only issue is that i would like to use CIFS to mount this drive so i can play my 3D Movies with the stock player as if they were on my phone.
Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to access my UrukDroid 1.6RC2 from a Win7 desktop.
Samba is disabled in the UrukConfig and when I turn it on it just gives error. However the one time I did get to to work was when I had it turned off and used the Samba app that was included with UrukDroid. By just enabling it I managed to get some files across from the Win7. I tried enabling a custom pass but that proved useless seeing I was able to just access the share without needing one.
Reset that, then gave up on it for a few days then tonight I tried the same thing and somehow the share doesn't show up under Network in Win7 so no way to even access it...
Anyone have any answers or advice? This is a shame cause I love me some Samba.
well im not sure waht urukconfig is doing for samba.
But if u wanna know how to start:
U can ALWAYS setup each service manualy without UrukConf.
To get started - read the sama man pages - or some general linux samba howto - its anolog to the android versions...
Anywy if u just want to figure out what's wrong with the urkukconfig-samba - start a terminal-session on your archos (or use ssh from win7) and browse to /etc/uruk.conf and /etc/uruk.d wich hold the configuration and the startup files for the UD services.
To debug simplay run the samba script in /etc/uruk.d/ and check for the error output
if u don't knwo what the error means - report it here - or even better: use google
good luck
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.

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?

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.

We have a filesystem at work which I use very often. On my Windows laptop I simply mount an NFS drive (map network disk). Can I mount an NFS folder in ICS? If not, is there any other way of accessing network disks?

I've used File Expert to connect to network drives. Works with windows and Mac networks just fine.

Like Windows you'll need NFS software installed to do that, and Android doesn't come with them any more than Windows XP did. So few people if anyone have tried an NFS mounter, people usually use CIFS/SMB - which is what Windows networks usually uses for file shares and maps, not NFS.
Samba File Sharing in the market for anserver to make your prime accessible to other systems.
Any app that can deal with SMB/CIFS shares, like most big name file managers or CifsManager (maps network drive[sic]).
SSHFS is also possible if you have a SSH server and the right software on the client wanting to mount. I have both on my tablet. SSHFS is like mappig a network drive but more secure.

Yes, you can mount a network drive to your device if it is rooted. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442928
Or you could use this tweaker to load the cifs and md4 modules (by checking their boxes in the app), then use the cifsmanager app to mount your drive.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473520
sigh, people need to realize CIFS(SMB) is NOT NFS ...
For the OP, it looks like the kernel has NFS_FS enabled, but you'll want/need nfs-utils built in order to mount (and you'll need root). (note: NFSv3 and NFSv4 are not enabled in the kernel, but a dev could probably build those modules easily enough).
Thank you for your comments. I have mixed up things in my original post. I use NFS from my Linux box, but I mount Samba share from my Windows laptop. I have found an app called AndSMB that allows my accessing Samba shares from the Prime. However, it doesn't mount a proper network folder, it only allows browsing network folders and downloading network files.
I believe CifsManager can mount a network directory, but it needs root access. Is it true that every software mounting a drive/directory would need a rooted system? I don't really want to root my Prime...
I'm trying to access a share on a Mac from Android. The share is on a FAT32 external drive, and I can browse/access it from another Mac and from a PC. But when I try to connect from Android, I get an error on the username/password (same user/pass as I'm using from other Mac and from PC). This happens with both ES File Explorer and AndSMB. I've tried both checking and unchecking the "Windows File Sharing" checkbox on the Mac, using anonymous, and two different userids (one a login user, the other a "sharing-only" user). The Android tablet (Galaxy Note 12.2 running CyanogenMod 12.1/Android 5.1.1) can access Windows shares but I need to get to some stuff on the Mac. My phone (stock GS6) is the same--can access Windows and my router's USB share but not the Mac.
I'd like to use SMB instead of something like file transfer because I want to stream video from my Mac to my kids' android tablets on a long airplane flight.
Searching didn't turn up anything useful so I'd appreciate pointers to threads where this has been discussed.
TIA.
Bill
